Are manual face wash brushes useful? Which is better, an automatic one?

Many people like face cleansing brushes as a cleaning tool. Because human skin is inherently uneven, a face cleansing brush is needed. So are manual face cleansing brushes useful? Which is better, a manual face cleansing brush or an automatic face cleansing brush?

Are manual face brushes useful?

Manual face brushes do have a certain effect.

The skin is not smooth. If you look closely, you will see that the skin is actually bumpy, so ordinary cleansing methods cannot remove deep-seated dirt. To address this problem, the facial cleansing brush was designed and invented. We already know that moderate and reasonable cleansing is important for the skin. It can remove excess sebum and dust, and even use facial cleansing tools when necessary to enhance the exfoliation and cleansing effects.

On the other hand, it is not widely known that excessive cleansing can damage the skin's barrier function. When the natural sebum film on the skin's surface is lost, the skin's self-moisturizing ability decreases. As pH increases, microorganisms are more likely to grow. Dry skin, rashes, and increased risk of infection. If further damage occurs, leading to thinning of the stratum corneum and loss of lipids between stratum corneum cells, sensitive skin can easily develop. Red blood streaks, dryness, itching, and desquamation become more common. Therefore, I have always emphasized: use the correct methods and products to cleanse thoroughly but moderately.

When face cleansing brushes become popular in the market as a new cleansing tool, this topic once again becomes the point that must be emphasized. In fact: not everyone is suitable for using a face cleansing brush, nor is it necessary to use a face cleansing brush every day. The principle of a face cleansing brush is very simple, and it is not as magical as everyone says. Based on its working principle, improper use can cause damage to the skin barrier. I strongly recommend not using a facial cleansing brush for sensitive skin or inflammatory skin.

Each has its own advantages and each takes what it needs. Non-electric facial cleansing brushes can control the speed and strength according to your needs, just like brushing your teeth. They are relatively affordable, so you don’t have to feel bad when you upgrade them. Electric facial cleansing brushes are expensive for their own reasons: their speed and strength are relatively stable, and they won’t damage your skin due to poor control of strength. Various speeds and gears are also designed scientifically and rationally. Needless to say, it saves effort. When you wake up early and feel sleepy, you don't have to put in any effort to wash your face. It is perfect for lazy people.

The main principle of facial brush

It mainly uses the ultrasonic principle to make the fine hairs on the facial cleansing brush vibrate, thereby achieving efficient and non-irritating cleaning and massage effects. And now that technology is advanced, the cleansing brush can be placed on a wireless charger and the brush head can be dried through its built-in drying system, so that consumers can still use a clean brush head next time. In addition, the non-porous design makes it easy to clean and prevents the growth of pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and mites.

This is the end of the introduction to manual face cleansing brushes. They each have their own advantages over automatic face cleansing brushes.
