Wave hello to clearer, smoother skin:

1. "Choosing the right brush head for your skin is key. It's really important that the brush head isn't irritating or inflaming your skin, however is working hard enough to do its job."

2. If you breakout in spots or pimples when you first start using a facial brush, don't worry – this is natural. Skin can also start to flake as the dead skin cells are removed – this doesn't mean its dry, only that the dead skin is effectively coming away. If your skin does react with a breakout or pimples, stop using the cleansing brush for a few days. Then as your skin settles down, slowly introduce it back in to your cleansing regime over the following week. Everyone's skin is different, so it's really a case of finding what works for your complexion.

3. "Using a cleansing brush once a day, as part of your evening routine will achieve the best results. By using it too often
 the skin barrier can be broken down through removing the natural sebum in the skin. What skin does in response to this is increase production of natural oils and sebum which can leave skin oiler than before!"

4. "If skin is naturally sensitive, over using a cleansing brush can mean it becomes more sensitive as the natural barrier is broken down and the new skin becomes over-exposed to environmental stresses. These stresses can come from the weather, pollution, daily dirt and makeup, so when new skin cells are overexposed to stresses it can lead to an uneven skin tone and a red and irritated complexion, dry patches, itchiness or rash."

5. "Use an Exfoliating brush head once per week to remove dead skin cells and expose the fresh new skin cells below. Exposing the newer layers of skin is what gives our complexion the healthy glow we all crave, however using a cleansing brush too often and overexposing the new skin cells can leave skin red and irritated. This is because the newer cells are experiencing the daily damage and stresses, without the protection of skins natural barrier."

6. "Never share your brush! This can spread bacteria and is asking for inflammation and breakouts."

7. "Cleaning your cleansing brush properly under running water is important to remove dirt or makeup residue, which could lead to spots or breakouts. A gentle alcohol based disinfecting wash could also be a good option every few weeks to remove any residue bacteria. Although, ensure it's off carefully with water as antibacterial liquids can be irritating for the skin."

8. "Never use the brush head you use on your face on different areas of the body. After seeing great results on your complexion, it can be tempting to use it on other spot prone areas... don't! This will cause and imbalance in bacteria and make all of the areas worse!"
