, $90What It Is:
Cleansing brushes are nothing new, but these devices are the next step up. You've heard cleansing brushes help your products sink in better, clear your complexion and exfoliate your skin better than typical cleansing. But these brushes do even more. You might even rethink the cleansing brush you already own as I did.
What You'll Get:
Clarisonic is known for their cleansing brushes, but one major complaint is the heads are too rough for some sensitive-skinned users. The new Radiance brush head is softer and gentler than the regular heads, and it also works specifically to clear pores of sebum and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Another gentle option is Clinique's Sonic cleansing brush. This head is also gentler than others I've tried, and the smaller size allowed me to cleanse around sensitive areas like my eyes more easily. The angled green tip targets other hard-to-reach areas like the T-zone and around the eyes.
If you're still not sold on cleansing brushes, try the Foreo Luna. This silicone device works in much the same way, but uses T-Sonic pulsations that feel like a miniature facial massage. Use the reverse side of the device, the anti-aging mode, for lower-frequency pulsations on your wrinkle-prone areas: between the eyebrows, across the temples and on your laugh lines.
What You'll Save: $82/year
That's the price of my night cream, serum and eye cream combined, divided by two. Usually I feel like only half the product I use actually sinks into my skin -- not so now that I've started using cleansing brushes.
