While using a facial cleansing brush may not be a necessary step in your skincare routine, it certainly has many benefits. On top of providing an effective clean, facial cleansing brushes can be
"used to help remove every last trace of makeup, oil, and debris on your skin," says board-certified dermatologist Dr Debra Jaliman, a board-certified dermatologist."They also help decongest the skin by getting rid of dead skin [and] they get your skin cleaner than if you just use your hands."
With so many brushes available though and the options ranging from electric, manual, silicone, and bristle, it can be tough to discern which brush is best for your skin needs and concerns. That's why we tapped Dr Jaliman for her expertise and evaluated some of the best brushes on the market based on their bristle type, speed settings, and features.
Best Overall: PMD Clean Pro Gemstone Cleansing Device
This silicone-bristle smart device uses over 7,000 vibrations per minute to cleanse, lift, and firm skin. The bristles are gentle yet effective, so the chances of the device drying out the skin are minimal, and it is safe to use on sensitive skin. It also uses Active Warmth heat technology and a real rose quartz stone for an even more soothing experience.
Best Value: Olay Regenerist Facial Cleansing Brush
This brush removes stubborn makeup, gently exfoliates, and gives a deeper clean than using your fingers or a cloth.
Best for All Skin Types: Foreo Luna 3 Smart Facial Cleansing Brush
This brush uses T-sonic pulsations to sweep away dirt and debris. With 16 different pulsation intensities, the brush allows you to customize your cleanse with each use. There's a different colour for each skin type, so choose accordingly: purple for sensitive skin, blue for combination skin, and pink for normal skin.
Best Electric: NågraCoola Sonic Facial Cleansing Brush
This brush tackles a variety of skincare concerns from acne to anti-aging and it works well on all skin types. It features a silicone head on one side that gently works to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells and an anti-aging massage head with five different intensities on the reverse side for wrinkle-prone areas.
This manual facial cleansing brush from e.l.f comes recommended by Dr Jaliman, who says it works well on any skin type.
"One side has super soft bristles for gently cleansing your face and [the] other side has flexible silicone ends that will help you achieve a deeper exfoliation and promote facial circulation via massage," she says.
Best Scrubber: Innerneed Silicone Facial Cleansing Brush
These popular silicone face scrubbers by Innerneed are the best. On one side, you'll find little silicone nubs to massage your face and clear out pores, while the other side has a convenient grip for your fingers. The scrubbers are made from high-quality food grade silicone as well, which makes them easier to clean and gentle enough to use on sensitive skin.
Best for Anti-Aging: ReFa Clear Facial Cleansing Brush
The ReFa Clear is a great option for mature, aging skin because it features 3D sonic ion technology that moves bristles in both vertical and horizontal directions, along with vibrations to deep clean. Another unique feature of the brush is its varying lengths of super fine bristles. The tapered bristles conform to the skin for the closest cleanse possible. Sources:
