Open up your face! Overview of devices for facial care.

Going to a cosmetologist is expensive, but necessary after a certain age or in the presence of pronounced skin problems. The beautician will not only perform certain procedures, but also pick up cosmetics and advise on how to care for the skin at home. And it only seems that only cosmetologists have tools for such manipulations: manufacturers of techniques offer a lot of devices for professional facial treatment at home. What these devices do?

They will steam you up

Cleansing is not only a matter of applying cleansing gel or milk. You can go deeper into your skin than you’re letting cosmetics do. For example, you can use a steam cleaning: it opens and cleanses pores, helps “expel” from the face black dots, improves blood circulation, promotes better penetration into the skin cosmetic compositions. The water vapor is ideal for preparing the skin for various treatments, such as deep cleansing, moisturizing and nourishing masks. Steam cleaning can be combined with aromatherapy.

Pretty simple in design device, the main thing in it is multifunctionality cleansing + inhalation , as well as the quality of materials and safety, confirmed by the appropriate certificates, because it is a German brand. For a device made of plastic and working with hot steam, which is also inhaled by the user, the most important thing – the ability of plastic to withstand the pressure of hot air and not emit harmful substances.

The integrated aromatherapy nozzle located in the facial nozzle can be used to place a cotton swab soaked in aromatherapy.

Easy to clean: smooth plastic nozzles are easy to clean, all parts are detachable.

They’ll clean you up: facial cleansing brushes

The past two years have proven to be fruitful for devices which can gently and deeply cleanse the skin from impurities, dead cells and “black dots” – in other words, do mechanical peeling, which, unlike chemical peeling, can be used at home. Water-based peels also have a major disadvantage: they can cause allergies and require a recovery time, usually a day or so.

One of the first such device for home use at home has released the company Braun: it was equipped with a brush attachment, a special epilator to remove facial hair, and a year ago dosnanalit this gadget has new attachments, turning it into a full-fledged system of facial care.

Braun Face, a tiny 2-in-1 beauty tool about the size of a mascara head. It combines facial hair removal and cleansing and the user can choose deep pore cleansing with a brush or gentle cleansing of sensitive skin, exfoliation, and application of cosmetics with a sponge, depending on the attachment used.

It is common practice to remove facial hair with either tweezers or waxing: both are painful and time-consuming. The tiny and efficient Braun Face epilator removes even the most invisible hairs quickly and with ultimate precision when epilating eyebrows, upper lip, or chin. 10 micro tweezers make 200 spectacular movements per second, removing shorter hairs than waxing techniques.

The Braun Face Thorough Cleansing Brush, included in the basic kit, cleans more effectively than a facial scrub, helping to gently remove makeup and get rid of impurities. Its 100 micro bristles vibrate a hundred times a minute to gently but deeply penetrate your skin. After this procedure, facial skin care products are absorbed more deeply and work more effectively. We recommend using the Braun Face brush in the shower after cleansing your skin.

Whereas in the past Braun Face came with a cleansing brush head for skin care, now you can get all your daily care needs.

Braun Face’s new beauty tips give you new capabilities. The Extra Sensitive Brush cleanses dry, sensitive skin that requires more gentle care. Hundreds of micro-oscillations per minute of the delicate brush with long 14 mm soft bristles turn purification into a pleasant SPA-procedure.

The exfoliating brush deeply cleanses pores and maintains perfect skin appearance. Recommended for use once a week to gently exfoliate and slough off dead skin cells. The brush has combined bristle lengths from 8-10mm.

The Beauty Sponge assists with the application of any skin care product. Beauty products cream, waterproof mask, tone penetrate deeper thanks to the nozzle. The soft, porous sponge surface is gentle to the skin and very easy to clean after each treatment. It is recommended to change the nozzles every 3-4 months, a set of 4 nozzles costs about 1800 Dollars.

There are contraindications, too

Many brands have adopted the clever idea and now you can find rotating brushes for cleaning your face in Philips, Gezatone, Rolsen and other brands’ assortment. And the crisis is time to choose home alternatives to salon care. But there are always contraindications to using such gadgets. It should not be used in cases of skin irritations or integrity disorders, skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, allergic skin reactions, sunburns. Do not use these devices for circulatory problems, diabetes, tuberculosis, neoplasms, inflammation of the trigeminal nerve, pain of unknown etiology.
