The electric face brush is divided into two types: vibrating brush head and rotating brush head.

❷ Pay attention to the length and thickness of the bristles

Don’t think that the bristles are all the same length and number. Under the same material base, 3cm is the dividing line, and bristles longer than 3cm feel softer on the face, and vice versa, feel harder.

At the same time, girls who often need to wear makeup can use a face wash brush, which can help the skin plot off excess oil and dust but also thoroughly sweep the surface of the skin makeup debris, and clean skin cleaner.
