KEY CONSIDERATIONS

Advantages

An exfoliating brush can provide much-needed relief to the skin that would be difficult to obtain otherwise. Without the proper tool, dead skin cells can build up, leaving your skin looking dull and unhealthy. Most washcloths aren’t able to penetrate as deeply or as strongly as an exfoliating brush.

A brush can take the place of chemical exfoliators that are applied to the face and other parts of the body. In addition, many users suggest that an exfoliating brush can help ease razor bumps for those who shave.

Skin type

Your skin type dictates to what extent you should exfoliate with a brush, if at all. Those with oily skin can greatly benefit from an exfoliating brush, as the process helps remove excess layers that clog pores. Anyone with normal skin can use an exfoliating brush effectively as well. People with combination skin may benefit, though it’s advisable to brush gently and infrequently at first. As you take note of how your skin reacts, you may be able to increase the amount and intensity.

TIPS

• Watch for irritation. When using a new brush, monitor your skin to see how it reacts. If you notice redness or irritation, you may be brushing too hard or too often.
• Cleanse before you exfoliate. The process of exfoliation allows your skin to better absorb moisturizer and other products. In most cases, it is best to cleanse first. Then, exfoliate and apply skincare products.
• Brush in the same direction. Use a vertical direction on your legs, stomach, back, and arms. When exfoliating your neck and shoulders, brush downward

• FAQ

• Q. How often should I use an exfoliating brush?

  A. The frequency with which you should exfoliate with a brush depends on your skin type as well as the weather. People with dry skin may only want to exfoliate once or twice a week. (In winter when the air is dry, this frequency may apply to others as well.) People with oily skin may benefit from exfoliating three times a week. Monitor your skin for redness and irritation, which will likely occur if you exfoliate too often.

  Q. What’s the best method of exfoliating with a brush?

  A. If you plan to exfoliate your entire body, start with your feet and work your way up. Avoid brushing too heavily in one area. Apply more force on areas where the skin is thicker, such as the feet, knees, or elbows. Apply less pressure on areas where the skin is thinner and more sensitive, particularly around the face and pubic area. If you’re not already using water when you brush, be sure to rinse off the dead skin and flakes afterward.

  Q. How should I maintain my exfoliating brush?

  A. Every time you use your brush, it comes into contact with dead, dry skin. Therefore, you should rinse your brush after every use. Dry it in a well-ventilated space. Once or twice a week, apply warm water and soap to the brush for a thorough cleaning. When the bristles start to bend or fall off, it’s time to invest in a new brush.
