The gentle facial brushing
This time, requested by our beautician, for you: a brush of incomparable softness (therefore suitable for all skin types) and very effective for deeply cleaning the pores, gently, without irritating the skin.
It pleasantly complements the first step of our ritual, is used with the cleansing oil, and yes, allows for deep cleansing/makeup removal while activating lymphatic circulation and offering a massage, adding pleasure & relaxation to the cleansing process.
It is manual (to avoid too much skin movement, which must be treated gently because otherwise, like an elastic band stretched many times, it loses its tone).
Here is a brush with a wooden handle, to avoid plastic, and equipped with 320,000 synthetic bristles* (0.045 mm in diameter) of extreme softness, made from antibacterial material.
To get this wonderful brush, it's here.
How to use it?
We apply the cleansing oil to the face, wet our brush, then proceed gently with small circular movements, upwards, focusing on the T-zone and neck. We rinse our face and the brush after use, then hang it with its cord for air drying.
*Know that vegetable brushes are necessarily thicker in bristles and therefore harder on the facial skin (which we do not want, once again, to be too roughly agitated). I hope we can quickly get a natural one for dry brushing the body.
We can have one to use with oil and one to use dry for the face.
We applaud my choice: it will arrive in its transport pouch and without extra packaging.
You will be delighted and your skin, radiant, free from impurities and blackheads.

How to clean it?
With 320,000 bristles, it is entirely possible that some of them did not receive enough glue to stay in place and that a few may come off during the first uses. I suggest you clean it thoroughly by hand with a mild soap before your next use, to allow any stubborn hairs (if any remain) to be removed. Also, it is very important to dry the brush bristles upside down. Just like a makeup brush, we don't want water to accumulate in the part of the brush that holds the bristles in place.
Here is a short segment (in French) where Amélie talks to us about its benefits and shows us how to use and clean it.
