What's the Best Facial Cleansing Brush to Use?

"For facial cleansing brushes, I recommend using any with soft bristles to prevent damaging the skin," says Diane Howard, Founder, Esthetic Finesse. "Silicone brush heads that are gentle on the skin are great options, and I recommend ones that are easy to clean and don't require replacement brush heads like other brushes."

"Remember to always use a gentle cleanser with your facial brush and avoid over-exfoliating, as this can lead to irritation and dryness," she adds.

"I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a facial cleansing brush, but I wanted something of good quality," says Roksana Bielecka, Community Manager, ResumeHelp.

"The EZBasics Brush is the perfect example of this, since it costs less than $40 and is notable for its ability to clean deeply, use of hygienic material, and small, efficient size. It has silicone bristles and runs on batteries, and can remove tough makeup and dirt using five-speed settings that can be customized to match your skin type."

"I use the Clarisonic Mia Smart Facial Cleansing Brush. I enjoy the convenience of being able to use it with my favorite cleansers and appreciate the soft, gentle bristles that effectively remove dirt and makeup," explains Farhan Advani, Co-founder, Hair Extensions Advisor.

"It also helps me achieve a deeper level of cleanliness, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and soft. The brush has three different speed settings, so I can customize it to my skin's needs, and the battery life is great."

"While many facial cleansing brushes can be a little rough on the skin, I love how gentle this brush is. Its soft and rounded bristles don't irritate sensitive skin or skin prone to breakouts," says Larissa Pickens, Founder, Everfumed. "But of course, the real highlight is the fact that the brush uses sonic technology — vibrating quickly to loosen and remove dirt, oil, and other impurities from your pores."

She adds, "Other cool perks include the fact that it's water-resistant, has a long battery life, and comes with two different brush heads — one for deep cleansing, and one for gentle exfoliation."

"This brush is an excellent choice for someone who likes the convenience of an automatic, battery-powered brush," says Effie Asafu-Adjaye, Founder, Beautiful Sparks. "The two interchangeable brush heads fit different skin types, from sensitive to normal."

"The brush is designed with a two-speed setting for greater customization and control over the cleansing experience. The bristles are short and dense, which helps to exfoliate the skin for a smoother look and feel gentle. The Olay Regenerist is a great mid-priced pick you can rely on for a deep and gentle cleanse."

"I personally use the Soniclear Elite Antimicrobial Facial Cleansing Brush by Michael Todd Beauty," notes Basana Saha, Founder, KidsCareIdeas. "This brush has soft yet effective bristles that thoroughly cleanse my skin with no irritation."

"Its sonic technology gently exfoliates my skin and removes dirt, oil, and makeup residue from my pores. Moreover, the antimicrobial properties of this brush prevent the growth of bacteria, making it a hygienic and safe option for everyday use. "

Saha adds, "Additionally, it has a long-lasting battery life and a waterproof design that allows me to use it in the shower as well. The Soniclear Elite has significantly improved my skin texture and made it softer, smoother, and clearer than ever before."

"As an experienced hairdresser with over 20 years of experience, the PMD Clean brush has become my go-to recommendation for clients looking to upgrade their skincare routine," says Khamis Maiouf, CEO, Book of Barbering. "The PMD Clean facial cleansing brush is a revolutionary tool designed to transform your skincare routine and help you achieve the radiant complexion you've always desired."
