Electric Cleaning Brush
The electric cleaning brush is designed for skin cleansing and care. It is typically used in conjunction with a cleanser, applied directly to the skin to remove residual makeup, accumulated dirt, and to exfoliate the surface. This type of brush is generally more effective than hand washing due to its ability to provide consistent pressure on the skin, enhancing product absorption significantly. It can be particularly beneficial for cleansing acne-prone skin; however, individuals with sensitive or mature skin should opt for a softer brush. It is important to avoid using this tool on irritated or red skin, and users should be cautious not to overuse the cleaning brush to prevent potential burns. It is advisable to choose a brush with bristles instead of a movable head, as it offers a gentler impact on the skin compared to flat heads.
Facial Cleaning Cloth
The facial cleaning cloth is a widely used and popular tool for facial cleansing. It consists of two separate pieces of fabric woven with multiple holes of various sizes, containing some soap, disinfectants, and moisturizing agents. When applied to the skin, the cleanser is released through these woven holes, making it suitable for all skin types. These cloths come in various designs, although their exfoliating effect is typically milder than that of other cleaning tools.
Woven Mesh Sponge
The woven mesh sponge, commonly known as Buf-Puf, is made from tough, non-woven polyester fibers. The polyester fibers are bonded using adhesive to create a durable sponge that does not dissolve when soaked in water or become soft. Later variants have been designed from lighter, softer polyester fibers and are available in four different designs depending on the fiber type and thickness.
Blackhead and Whitehead Removal Tool
This tool is specifically used for removing blackheads from the skin. It is a slender metal instrument featuring two differently sized holes at each end. The choice of which end to use depends on the size of the blackhead. There is also a similar tool that includes a small blade for opening whiteheads for extraction. However, using this tool requires considerable skill to avoid the risk of infection, and it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or beauty professional for safely using the blade to remove whiteheads, minimizing the chance of leaving scars or other skin damage. In contrast, the blackhead removal tool can generally be used safely at home.
