The Best Facial Cleansing Brushes To Invest In Right Now

If you’ve never heard about the Clarisonic System, then you’ve been hiding under a rock and need to emerge into the real world asap. Every beauty blogger worth her salt will tell you that the Clarisonic cleansing brushes are THE best facial cleansing brushes out there. If you don’t know what a cleansing brush is or how to use one, here’s the deal.

Facial cleansing brushes are small handheld machines that give your face a powerful deep cleanse, and help unclog pores and exfoliate dead skin cells better than any make-up remover or face wash can. These cleansing devices usually have a rotating brush head (some have pulsating ones) that gently scrub your facial skin and give you a bright, squeaky clean complexion after each use. What’s more, they even improve blood circulation by purging your skin of toxins and give you visibly healthier skin.

While the Clarisonic System uses transdermal sonic pulsations and high oscillation speeds to deep clean your skin, this superstar  tool comes at a pretty price. But that doesn’t mean your skin should be deprived of a wonder product. There are some great alternatives out there, and I’ve rounded up some of the best ones for you at every budget.

 

1. Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System (Rs 2,750)

The Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System has often been compared to the Clarisonic Mia 2. It spins all the way around instead of spinning back and forth. It is lightweight since it is battery-operated — unlike the Clarisonic which has rechargeable batteries —  making it ideal for travel. It comes with two speed settings and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

 

2. Spa Sonic Skin Care System (Rs 5,758)

Apart from the standard face brush, you also get a face sponge — which is great as it enables deeper penetration of your skincare products — a large body brush, and a pumice stone for your feet.

 

3. Proactiv Deep Cleansing Brush (Rs 1,400)

Although there are no speed options in the Proactive Deep Cleansing Brush, it does a good job of deep cleansing the skin. It is lightweight and portable, and the bristles are neither too hard nor too soft.

 

4. Dermalogica Exfoliating Facial Brush (Rs 1,395)

Don’t be fooled by the dainty size of this nifty little brush. Although this is a manual brush, it works really well in navigating all the contours of your face.

 

5. Silk’n Swirl Facial Brush (Rs 4,233)

This dual-speed brush has soft, non-abrasive micro bristles that remove dirt, oil and make-up and exfoliate dead skin, allowing your skincare products to work more effectively.

 

6. Olay Pro-X Microdermabrasion Plus Advanced Cleansing System (Rs 3,950)

This handy, at-home microdermabrasion kit is battery operated and comes along with a cleansing head, foam head, exfoliating renewal cleanser, and a thermal crystal polisher. There are three speed settings that let you opt for either gentle cleansing, deep cleansing, or microdermabrasion according to your skin’s needs.

 

7. Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System (Rs 2,390)

This has been known to work really well on those who have sensitive skin, and people with skin problems like rosacea. It does a fine job of exfoliating facial skin.

 

8. Skin Authority Skin Cleansing System (Rs 7,990)

This powerful but gentle cleansing tool can smooth out even the thickest, bumpiest skin. #ShutUpAndTakeMyMoney!

 

9. Dermabrush Advanced Cleansing System (Rs 3,624)

This takes off dead skin without irritating your skin. It enables your moisturisers, serums, and other skincare products penetrate deeper than they usually do, leaving you with radiant skin.

 

10. Shiseido Cleansing Massage Brush (Rs 1,651)

The slightest pressure on this manual cleansing tool will get you fabulous results. The firm bristles coupled with the silicon bristles cleanse and massage your skin, boosting blood flow.

 

11. Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush (Rs 12,500)

This cleansing brush is powered by sonic movements. This lightweight, travel-friendly cleanser has a soft dual-fiber brush that gently deep cleanses the pores.

 

12. Clarisonic Mia 2 Sonic Cleansing System White (Rs 15,550)

Liek all the other Clarisonic devices, the Clarisonic Mia 2 uses transdermal sonic pulsations and high oscillation speeds to deep clean your skin.
