How to Use a Sonic Facial Brush the Right Way

How to Use a Sonic Facial Brush Step-by-Step

The sonic facial brush how to use process involves prepping your skin, applying cleanser, and using gentle, circular motions. This ensures deep cleansing without damaging your skin barrier.

1. Remove makeup with micellar water or an oil-based remover.
2. Splash your face with lukewarm water to open pores.
3. Apply a gentle cleanser directly on your damp skin or brush head.
4. Turn on the device and use gentle circular motions for 60 seconds total:
   • 20s on forehead
   • 20s on nose and chin
   • 20s on both cheeks
5. Rinse your face with cool water and pat dry with a clean towel.
6. Apply toner, serum, and moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp.

👉 Pro Tip: Always start on the lowest setting, especially if you have acne-prone or sensitive skin.
