Several studies have shown that silicone sonic face cleaners are more effective than normal manual cleansing. It is said to be an effective and safe method.
The device also massages the skin with sonic vibrations. This can help activate the lymphatic system and increase collagen by speeding up blood circulation.
As we are generally unable to wash our skin for 1 minute; we wash for an average of 15-30 seconds and this is not enough to cleanse.To be effective in cleansing the skin, it must be massaged for at least one minute with a water-based cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type. The device also supports this stage.
I bought the Foreo Luna 2 on my own and I am happy to use it for a long period of time. However, there is no requirement for it to be in use. Instead of using the device, you can clean your skin well with the following methods.
Alternatives to Silicone Sonic Face Cleaners:
- Two-step cleansing method with oil-based and water-based cleansers.
- Extended duration cleansing with a water-based cleanserfor at least 1 minute.
- You can also do your two-stage cleansing by using a gentle water-based cleanser twice in a row.
Lastly, it encourages the skin to wash for at least 1 minute, massages the skin, gently exfoliates the skin; it can be effective on comedones.
If you say I will definitely buy a device, the Foreo I use is nice, but if it does not fit your budget, I think the xiaomi inface brand is also a very nice alternative.
Love
