Facial cleansing with a special device is performed manually. To have a good result, you should not buy low-quality Chinese-made brushes. A product of proven brands can have up to 25 thousand rigid artificial fibers. Together they provide an active, yet gentle, gentle touch. Natural materials are also used in the manufacture of mechanical brushes, but they are less durable.

The washing device and the pile itself can be made from different materials. Choose a model based on your skin type and personal preference. The brush is plastic, wooden, silicone, rubber. Each has its own capabilities, pros and cons.

Silicone products are pleasant to the touch, they have different shapes and bright colors - pink, green, blue, gray and others. The brush belongs to mechanical models, it is endowed with a pimpled surface, a holder through which you can stick your hand.

But not everyone can use the silicone model, for some people this leads to reddening of the skin. Such a product is not recommended for people with a sensitive type of epidermis, others can use it once a week. By the way, silicone devices often have nylon or natural fibers. Rubber models do a good job of cleansing too, but won't work for dry or sensitive skin for the same reasons as silicone models.

Mechanical massage brushes are made of various materials - plastic, wood, metal. To obtain the desired result, you should pay attention to the thickness, density and texture of the pile:

• the thinner the bristles, the more delicate the cleansing will be;
• thick coarse bristles deeply cleanse, removes greasy manifestations, but can injure sensitive skin.
