Facial Massager Mistake You Didn't Know About

A facial massage routine may seem reliable, but do you remember one of the most important steps? Think about the last time you thoroughly cleaned your facial massager. If it's been longer than you can remember, you may be doing a serious disservice to your skin. Before we tell you how to properly clean your facial massager, we'll share a few instructive reasons why you'll want to do it once you get home.

Why You Need to Clean Your Facial Massager Regularly

Using a facial massage device can help provide a number of benefits. This process can help relieve tension, help you achieve a youthful glow, and turn your regular skincare routine into a spa experience. However, all these benefits can be wasted if you don't wash your face massager thoroughly. If you massage your face with your favorite anti-aging creams, oils, and serums day after day, and don't wash your massage head properly between sessions, you can create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. You do the math: bacteria + skin = recipe for disaster. In short, a dirty device can harm your skin, even if you think you are taking a conscious step towards taking care of your skin. No. Good.

How often should the device be cleaned?

Now that we've hopefully convinced you of the importance of cleaning your facial massage device, let's talk about timing. This will largely depend on the tool you are using. For example, the Clarisonic Smart Profile Uplift, which can offer 2-in-1 benefits of sonic cleaning + facial massage, the massage head should be changed every six months as recommended by the brand and cleaned after each use with a little water. a little warm soapy water so that there are no marks on the massage head. Remove the massage head once a week and wash the handle with warm soapy water and the area under the massage head. Finally, let the massage head dry in a cool place, as warm, humid environments can be a breeding ground for mold. By washing your device as directed, you can ensure that it doesn't become your skin's worst enemy, but instead a welcome addition to your skincare routine. No buildup, no dirt, no carryover.

Editor's Note: Not using Clarisonic Smart Profile Uplift? Whatever facial massage device you use, be sure to follow the use and care instructions on the product packaging for proper instructions on how to properly care for your skin (and your device).
