Mechanical peeling with 20 thousand delicate bristles will become available to those who purchase electric facial brushes. Reviews of the owners of facial cleansing devices will help you figure out if this device is really simple, convenient and solves most of the problems associated with the skin.
Types of electric brushes
There are currently 3 types of brushes in stores: oscillating, rotating and silicone-based.
- Oscillating devices are devices with nozzles equipped with synthetic bristles. A small battery powered motor powers the device. The nozzle has movable and fixed bristles, making 200 or more movements per minute. These vibrations provide conditions for deep cleansing of the skin without damage with the help of special means, such as a gel for washing.
- Rotating electric brushes, like the previous type, are equipped with nozzles with nylon bristles. The difference is that they produce circular rotational movements and are cheaper than other types.
- Devices of this type do not have nylon bristles, they are based on a silicone base, which pulsates, creating vibrating movements.

Advantages of the gadget
There are a number of tangible benefits to using electric facial cleansers over simple washing.
- The brush intensively cleanses the pores on the face. Carry out such a deep cleansing with just your hands, even using professional tools, impossible.
- The skin that is massaged during the procedure is rejuvenated and regenerated due to improved blood circulation.
- Removing makeup with the device is especially effective. According to experts, the skin becomes twice as clean after using the gadget than if it is done manually.
- With daily use, the electric facial brush will help get rid of unwanted shine for people with combination and oily skin faces.

- With prolonged regular use of a cosmetic device, small wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin of the face becomes tightened and more elastic, and the tone is evened out.
Cons and contraindications
Despite the large number of rave reviews, as well as statements about the usefulness and safety, the electric facial brush has a number of contraindications:
- for women with dry skin, it is better not to use a facial brush, since the more intact the dry surface of the face remains, the less moisture it will lose;
- herpes and neoplasms (warts and papillomas) are also contraindications for using the device: accidental damage during the procedure can provoke their growth or deterioration;
- if the capillary mesh is located too close to the surface of the face, manipulations with the gadget can lead to rupture of blood vessels or provoke the appearance of hematomas;
- a mistake in the selection of bristles on the brush head or improper use, for example with too high pressing force, entails the danger of stretching the skin.

Facial skin care should begin with cleansing. Many women prefer mechanical brushes as a substitute for spa cleansing.
We will tell you what are the features of face brushes, what they are, whether they are suitable for everyone and who is better not to use them.

There are also disadvantages to using these brushes. Let's list them:
- There is a risk of micro-damage if the person has dry skin.
- Cannot be used by people who have papillomas, warts, herpes on the skin ... These formations, if damaged, can begin to grow even more.

- With severe acne and allergic rashes do not recommend using a brush.
7 types of facial cleansing and washing brushes - how do they differ and how do they work?
We will tell you what types of brushes for cleaning the face exist, what are their main features and the principle of operation.
1. Ultrasonic
- They operate from a built-in battery that can operate for 18-24 hours.
- The brush is made of a porous material that gently cleanses the skin of the face from bacteria and impurities.
- The device can have several modes of operation.
- Cleaning takes place with a wave action.
The application is simple: it is enough to moisten the face with water and gently massage each area of \u200b\u200bthe face with light, massaging movements in a circle. It takes 20 seconds to cleanse the nose, chin, forehead, but on the cheeks it should take about 10 seconds (for each zone).

2. Electrical
Brushes of this type are a technique that has a built-in battery that is charged from the mains through an adapter or USB port.
The principle of operation of such a device is the same as that of the previous model. The structure of such brushes is well thought out, the bristles are polished, the edges are rounded.
Electric brushes can have several speed modes.
It is worth paying attention to them so as not to damage the skin during use.
3. Massage, conventional
Brushes can be made from various materials... The handle can be plastic, wood, metal.
It is worth paying attention to the bristles, pile thickness, length.
These brushes do not rotate, do not have batteries, and do not need to be charged. In simple words Is not a technique.
The principle of use is as follows: apply a cleanser to the skin of the face and in a circular motion brush across your face.
4. Brushes with different bristles
The best is a silicone brush. Its surface is pimpled. For convenience, there are holders through which you can slip your fingers.
Not everyone will be able to use it, since strong pressing can lead to redness or microcracks.
You can use such a brush several times a week, but people with very sensitive skin recommend to stop using them.
The shape of the brushes can be different, as well as the color.
You don't need to use it with it.
The bristle pile can be not only silicone, but also natural (horse mane hair) - or made of nylon. Many people prefer natural bristle brushes, as the synthetic bristles are spiky, coarser and stiffer.
5. Waterproof
The main difference between these brushes is reliable and high-quality protection. It is clear that if the brush is ordinary, then it can be used together with water. But if the brush is a device, and even electric, then here it is worth paying attention to the instructions.
As a rule, waterproof brushes can be wet - but it is best not to dip them directly into water. After use, dry and store in a dry place, never in water! Manufacturers now use different marketing strategies to attract buyers.
If they try to convince you that the brush can withstand full immersion in water - don't believe it! Most likely, the consultant just needs to sell this unit.
6. Brushes with different speeds
How the facial skin will be cleansed is directly affected by the speed of the device.
Models of devices with an initial, first speed clean more gently and gently. They are perfect for sensitive, dry skin or for those with noticeable injuries, cracks.
As the speed increases, the intensity and power of cleansing increases. So, the second speed is recommended for girls with normal skin type. The cleaning efficiency is increased by 25-30%.
Women with combination, oily, problem skin can use a brush with 3 or higher speed.
7. Brushes with different density and bristle length
When choosing brushes, pay attention to the thickness of the fibers.
The thinner the pile, the softer and more accurate it will remove dirt. And vice versa - the thicker the villi, the harder and rougher they will cleanse the skin.
The first brushes are usually chosen by girls with sensitive, problem skin, and the second - women with oily, combination.
The length of the bristles can also affect the intensity of brushing. It is worth choosing based on your desires and preferences.
In fact, the principle of operation is the same for all electric brushes with a pile. They are battery operated and need to be charged. The only difference can be in how the villi move. For example, in a circle, or left and right. Consider this when choosing your face brush.
Site site thanks you for your attention to the article! We'd love to hear your feedback and tips in the comments below.
Do you already have this brush? When they first appeared on the European and American markets, they were expensive. Now we can say that this is already a fairly affordable tool, just like an electric toothbrush.
There are still expensive options such as Clarisonic (over $ 250), there are cheaper alternatives such as Mary Kay brushes (about 2,000 rubles) or Librederm (3,250 rubles), there are even special foot brushes or men's options ... huge.
And if you bought this new product and started using it, then you will surely be interested to know if you are doing everything as it should. Explore the main mistakes when using a portable electric facial brush:
Mistake 1. You are not taking enough detergent.
If the funds are not enough, then you will simply massage and scratch the skin, not cleanse it. How to do it right? If using a brush, fill the entire inner circle with detergent. It is less economical than manual cleaning, but this is how the detergent reaches each bristle. The product should match your skin type.
Mistake 2. You are using little water.
Remember how you use your toothbrush? It must be thoroughly moistened before brushing your teeth. It's the same with face brushes. Firstly, it will soften the bristles, and secondly, it will allow detergent penetrate between the bristles, thirdly, this is an additional cleaning of the brush before it touches your face.
Mistake 3. Your brush is being used by someone other than you.
It is unacceptable! Even if you are in close family ties. If you want to share the mechanism with a friend or sister, just buy an extra attachment. Each should have an individual attachment. But if it happened that you had to use it together, soak the nozzle in alcohol for a few minutes to avoid the accumulation of excess bacteria.
Error 4. You do not disassemble the brush if you need to wash it.
It is necessary to wash the brush often, because it is a means for the face. But it is not enough just to wash the bristles, at least sometimes you should wash the product quite thoroughly. To do this, you need to remove the attachment. It is recommended to remove the brush head once a month and wash not only the bristles, but also all exposed parts of the device.
Mistake 5. You don't wash your brush with soap.
After each use, you must clean the bristles of the brush to remove sebum and dead cells. It is best to wash your bristles with a mild shampoo or baby liquid soap.
Mistake 6. You take too long breaks in the application.
You can feel the results from using the brush only with regular use of this gadget. Positive skin changes should be observed after about 2 weeks of continuous use. It is advisable to use the brush twice a day, but you can also limit yourself to washing with a brush once a day.
Mistake 7. Use a brush with a scrub.
Combining an exfoliating scrub and an electric facial brush is not a good idea. When using a brush, avoid any products containing microspheres, granules or other abrasive particles.
Error 8. Press hard on the skin.
The brush will do everything for you, this device does not require additional effort. Just hold the brush in your hand and touch your face without pressure.
Error 9. You are not changing attachments.
Having bought a brush, you should not think that you will not need any more updates. Change the brush head every 3 months. And it's not bacteria - with proper care, you can keep your brush perfectly clean at all times. The fact is that the bristles wear out, soften, deform - therefore, the effectiveness of facial cleansing is significantly reduced.
Mistake 10. You do not pay attention to the neck.
Brushes can and should be used not only on the cheeks and chin. She needs to treat all areas of the skin on the face (with the exception of the skin around the eyes), as well as the neck and décolleté. Gentle exfoliation has a rejuvenating effect on these areas of the skin as well.
Dermatologists, celebrities and beauty bloggers are praying for cleansing facial brushes. Have you already tried this gadget, but do not share the general enthusiasm? Let's check if you are doing everything right. ELLE is all about how to get the most out of your electronic skincare device.
Before we work on the mistakes, let's figure out why face brushes are so good. After all, they are really good. So the correct brush is:
1. Removes dead cells for "five-plus"
2. Deeply cleanses and thus shrinks pores
3. Solves the problem of acne and inflammation
4. Smoothes fine wrinkles and, in general, evens out the skin relief well
5. Helps skincare products absorb better and faster, which means they work more efficiently
6. Relieves dryness and flaking
7. Improves complexion
8. Thanks to its smoothing ability, it facilitates the process of applying and blending makeup.
Errors
Sounds great, right? And yet you do not see the effect promised by the manufacturer and you are not happy with the condition of your face. We understand the errors of using the bristly apparatus. What are you doing wrong:
1. Choose an attachment without worrying about the type and condition of your skin. The brush is designed for skin care, which means you need to choose it based on the characteristics of the skin, not design or cost. Dermatologists advise starting with the softest bristles, especially if the skin reacts unpredictably to innovations. Keep a few attachments in reserve, because the condition of the skin may change unexpectedly for you.
2. You have taken too abrupt start. First use the brush once a day (preferably in the evening). After about a week, switch to two daily cleansing.
3. Not using enough cleanser. For the first time, it is recommended to apply an amount of gel about the size of a five-ruble coin. Then adjust the dosage according to your skin type: the fatter, the more.
4. You are acting too hard. When cleaning, do not press the attachment on the skin or rub it. The effect will be the opposite: there will be more inflammation and peeling. The brush should slide easily over your face.
5. You stopped using the brush because of inflammation. Yes, exacerbation of inflammation is a common side effect after getting to know the electric brush. Active skin stimulation causes bacteria to rise to the surface of the epidermis in the form of acne. but main mistake is a complete rejection of the gadget. It is better to reduce your communication with him to once a day, avoiding problem areas. After about two weeks, the "bloom" will pass, and in the future, acne and clogged pores will hardly bother you at all.
6. Share your brush with someone else. No matter how you ask your boyfriend, girlfriend, or sister to try it out, just don't. Better give your flatmate an individual attachment. If someone has already used yours, treat it with rubbing alcohol or a hand sanitizer.
7. Do not wash the brush often enough. Just like a toothbrush, a facial appliance must be thoroughly rinsed with water. By all means after every use. Water alone is not enough, add a little shampoo to dissolve any remaining dirt on and between the bristles.
8. Use an exfoliating gel. The brush perfectly removes dead cells from the surface of the skin and does not need help. Therefore, use scrubs, peels and any other exfoliants on another day, separately on the brushes.
9. You rarely change attachments. All manufacturers are unanimous about the expiration date of the nozzle. It is equal to three months, after which you need to buy a new one. This is important not so much for hygiene purposes as for the efficiency of the device itself. Over time, the bristles begin to stick together, so replacement is required.
ELLE's choice: 5 brushes we love
The brush that started brushing. Unlike most followers, Clarisonic does not rotate, but moves at the speed of sound - 300 vibrations per second. The Aria has three speed modes and even more features. Everything for perfect skin cleansing.
With this ultrasonic gadget, a 3-step skin care system Clinique will become even more effective (regardless of type and age, by the way). Color zoning isn't just a designer fad. The white bristles are for the cheeks and cheekbones, and the light green ones are for the T-zone. It can also be charged via a computer and comes with a USB cable.
DermalBrush comes with four attachments. One is for daily cleansing, the other for exfoliation several times a week. The sponge attachment will assist in applying the cream. And after a hard day, arrange yourself a massage and relaxation with the help of "fingers". Not just a brush, but a personal beautician who is always at hand.
The patented Skinvigorate removes not only excess sebum and dead skin cells, but also makeup. All thanks to two modes of operation and four hundred revolutions per minute. Nylon bristles with rounded ends will befriend the most sensitive skin. And it will be convenient for you to use it right in the shower.
