Facial Cleansing Brush
The Benefits

Among the many skincare tools and gadgets in the market, the biggest and most commonly encountered skincare tool is probably the cleansing brush.   You can easily find cleansing brushes from millions of different brands, ranging from prices as low as a couple bucks to as high as over a hundred bucks.  Many of the more expensive ones are usually operated by electricity or batteries and provide an automatic motorized cleansing benefit which eliminates the manual labor required when using a manual cleansing brush.  

So what are the benefits of using a cleansing brush and why should you add it to your current facial cleansing routine?  Well there are many benefits to using a facial cleansing brush and you might be surprised at how much difference this small addition to your current cleansing routine can make on the long term.

Benefit#1: Exfoliation

Cleansing may help get rid of debris, oil, makeup, dirt and impurities on the surface of your skin but what about the dirt, oil, and impurities below the surface?  Your cleansing formula can't access or penetrate into your pores if you don't regularly exfoliate to maintain a clear pathway to your pore entrance.  This is why regular exfoliation is crucial in conjunction with cleansing in order to prevent breakouts, enlarged pores and healthy skin. 

Benefit#2: Deeper Cleanse

Using facial cleansing brush in combination with your daily cleansing product helps you achieve a deeper and more thorough cleanse because the bristles help reach deeper into your pores to really get a deep clean of your pores.  It is crucial that you choose a cleansing brush that has been made well with densely packed, fine, soft bristles so that it could deliver a thorough cleansing coverage that is gentle and still durable enough to not shed and break easily after a couple uses.

Benefit#3: Healthy Stimulation

When you use a cleansing brush, it not only helps to exfoliate and deliver a deeper cleanse but it also helps deliver healthy stimulation to your skin.  It is important to use circular, massaging motions when cleansing using your facial cleansing brush.  Abrupt vertical or lateral cleansing motions will hurt your skin as they are going against the natural texture patterns of your skin.  If used correctly in circular motions, facial cleansing brushes can deliver massaging and healthy stimulation that promote healthier skin blood and oxygen circulation along with stimulating healthy skin cell turnover.

Benefit#4:  Increased Product Absorption

Healthier skin circulation, oxygen flow, and removal of dead skin cell accumulation provides a healthier skin condition for your skin to perform all of its functions better.  It is capable of increasing product absorption and further maximizing intake of the benefits delivered by the products applied on your skin.
