I'd like to show you this amazing facial cleansing brush I've been using for the last days. This is my first electric brush and I'm really happy about it because I've been actually wishing to have one for months, but never decided to buy any.
This is the Panasonic EH-XC10 and it's a 3-in-1 cleansing brush because you can use it in 3 different ways: a soft brush for a gentle cleanse, a smaller silicone brush for the pores and a warming plate for makeup removal.
On the picture above you can see the brush more in detail and the accessories.
The right end of the main body is the warming makeup removal plate that helps loosen and remove makeup easily. You can choose between 43 degrees or 48 and it starts to warm up, then apply your usual makeup remover on the face or on the plate and begin moving it around your face for about 3 minutes (it stops automatically after that time). That's all, very simple and easy to use.
The bigger brush you see on the picture is the soft one to use daily. Also very simple to use, add foaming cleanser and water to the brush, press the switch (normal or soft), wait a couple of minutes for the foam to appear and then move the brush around your face. It's recommended to clean your face in three different sections for about 20 seconds each (the brush will make a pause every 20 seconds and then stop after 1 minute). Finally you just have to rinse your skin with water and you're done!
The smaller brush is a pore-targeting silicone brush. This one is recommended to be used max. twice a week right after the soft brush, while you still have foam on your face and only on some areas such as the nose and chin.
And the accessory you see between the brushes is a measuring cap to add water (appox. 4ml is all you need).
On the last picture I wanted to show you the rear part of the brush, that opened compartment is where you add the cleanser (the water must be poured into the center of the soft brush). After every use you must rinse that compartment with water, very easy.
You can also see the socket cover there too.
What I like about this brush is that it's very easy to use, it makes much foam with only a small amount of cleanser and water, it's also fast (you are ready in one minute), it actually cleanses better than handwashing and you can use it in three different ways and also while taking a shower. Oh and I find the stand very nice and practical to store the main body and the accessories.
Nevertheless there are a couple of negative points about it. One of them is the fact that you cannot clean your eyes, neither with the soft brush nor with the warming plate, so you have to do that some other way... Another thing is that you have to be careful with your skin, you shouldn't use the brush more than once a day or apply it for a long period on the same area, otherwise you can irritate your skin (so I guess it's not so gentle to the skin).
But all in all I really like this Panasonic facial cleansing brush and I'm sure it will become an important part of my daily skincare routine.
