8 of the best facial cleansing brushes

As far as gizmos and gadgets go, the cleansing brush is one of the best. Not only do they all do a top notch job of cleansing your skin (yes, better than your fingers), but they also sweep away dead skin cells and help unblock pores, while also preparing your skin for topical treatments.
This means your anti-ageing lotions and potions are able to seep deeper into your skin, enabling them to work harder and faster for better results - ideal.
Want to purchase one but don’t know which cleansing tool is right for you? Each of these eight devices will treat you – and your skin – exceptionally well. Promise.

FOREO LUNA 2 Normal Skin
Worried a cleansing brush may be too abrasive for your skin type? This sensitive skin-friendly option is the one to try. It'll gently exfoliate and remove residue without triggering irritation - in other words, the days of facial cleansing brush FOMO (it's a thing, we swear) is officially over.

Clinique Sonic System Purifying Brush
The lime and white colour combo is ace for aesthetics, yes, but it's as practical as it is pretty. The green bristles are firmer and shorter to effectively cleanse oil-prone areas, whereas the white ones are softer, safe for use on larger, more delicate areas of the face (that's you, cheeks).

LUMISKIN™ Kasi Thermal Care Silicone Cleansing Device
Designed to target the t-zone and delicate eye areas, the unique fingertip shape of this clever cleansing brush perfectly fits the contours of your face to make sure you don't miss a spot. And we must say, the bloodflow-boosting eye massage it delivers doesn't hurt matters.

I love cleansing devices, but only use silicone ones. Way note hygenic, longer lasting and gentle on the skin. They’re also great for massaging your facial serums and oils into your skin too.

The Foreo sounds great, but it's so expensive.

I'm still not into the cleansing devices. I reckon I'd start off okay but then I probably couldn't be bothered using one.

I had both the Clarisonic and Foreo but it was getting expensive constantly buying the brush heads for the Clarisonic, and over time I had to recharge more and more frequently until it just died one day. My Foreo is still going strong.

I don't have a brush and at the moment I don't have a burning desire to get one. I might consider it next time I redeem in the Beautorium if the option is avaliable.

I used and loved the Clarisonic for years and years before switching to Foreo about four months ago. The Clarisonic was much better for gettng that deeper clean and my skin was always clear using it. With Foreo, I actually break out more now I am using it, but my skin is actually more radiant.

I have to say I do not have a facial cleansing device, would be happy to try one of these. They all look rather good.

I have the Olay one but whats very annoying and frustrating is you can not get refill brushes for them here in Australia. I did however manage to pick some up in the US.
