How to Get the Most Out of an Ultrasonic Facial Brush

Using your hands alone to clean your face can leave behind residue that can contribute to dullness, blemishes and even skin damage.ultrasonic facial brush That's why a facial brush is a skincare must-have, especially an ultrasonic cleansing brush that can whisk away dirt and grime from your pores while helping to improve absorption of your favorite serums and moisturizers. For those who struggle with dry skin, this type of cleansing brush can be even more helpful. But not all facial brushes are created equal—so if you want to get the most out of your ultrasonic facial brush, it's important to consider which one is right for you.

Depending on what your skin needs, there are many options to choose from, including sonic brushes and rotating brushes.ultrasonic facial brush For those who are new to facial brushes, we recommend starting with a sonic option, which uses oscillation (also known as vibration) to cleanse the face. The best-performing sonic facial brushes we've tested, like the Foreo LUNA 3, provide between 9,000 and 12,000 oscillations per minute, which can help to push dirt and oil out of pores for a deep clean without excessive exfoliation.

The Foreo LUNA 3 also comes with a connected app that provides visual guidance for how long to spend on each area of your face when cleansing, which was very helpful. Plus, the surface of the brush head has soft bristles on one side for cleaning and extruded ridges on the other that can be used to massage the skin and relieve facial tension if you're a jaw-clencher or teeth grinder. We also like the fact that the LUNA 3 is waterproof, so you can use it in the shower or bath.

In terms of rotating brushes, the most popular model we've seen is the Michael Todd Beauty Soniclear Petite Patented Antimicrobial Facial Cleansing Brush ($119). This model features a rotating brush with nylon-bristled heads that can be swapped out for different skin-type-specific attachments (like a exfoliating attachment or an antibacterial/anti-inflammatory one). While it's less expensive than some of our other top picks, it doesn't come with as many accessories or customization options.

Another popular option is the Petal 2 (£109), which uses clinical-grade silicone with antibacterial properties to make it 35x more hygienic than regular nylon brushes. The Petal 2 also boasts a unique double-sided brush head that can be used to scrub the skin and exfoliate as well as massage the skin, which helps boost collagen production to minimize fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, it has an ion mode that emits negative ions that can help to reduce the appearance of puffy eyes and a boost circulation for that glowing-from-within look. To use, wet the brush and gently work it around your face (avoiding the delicate eye area) to remove makeup and impurities. Then, use the calming pulsations to massage the rest of your face for an overall more refreshed look. And, of course, don't forget to wash the brush regularly—it should be cleaned after every use to prevent the buildup of bacteria and dirt.
