Many women choose this cosmetic service, wanting to keep their face fresh, beautiful, and attractive for as long as possible.
The work is carried out in cosmetology institutions, less often - at home. To achieve maximum results, it is important to understand the basics of the procedure and follow each step.
Let's consider for whom brushing will be a real salvation: should the procedure be carried out at home or in a salon? What are the indications and contraindications for performing the work?
Why is it worth taking care of your skin?
It is difficult to find a woman who does not want to look attractive, young, well-groomed, beautiful even after a lot of time. The condition of the face plays an important role in this.
If it is clean, soft, smooth, then a magnificent appearance is guaranteed; the skin literally “breathes” health. Naturally, this directly affects attention from men.
Keeping your face in good condition is a difficult task. High-quality cosmetics, both decorative and cleansing, daily care, and periodic cosmetic procedures are important.
Compliance with the conditions is complicated by poor ecology, bad habits, large amounts of sun on the skin, age, and so on.
Every year it gets worse, so you have to use a variety of salon procedures that cost a lot of money.
Facial brushing is an opportunity to keep your skin in good condition without spending a lot of time or money. The procedure was loved by many and received a lot of positive reviews.
Facial brushing (features)
Facial brushing – what is it? This is one of the feats of hardware-type peeling. It allows for cleaning through the use of special equipment. The second name for this procedure is brossage.
It is standard to use a variety of tools and devices to deeply cleanse the skin.
Special attachments are used to remove dying cells from the skin. During the procedure, the device moves in a circle, and it is possible to regulate the speed of operation. Turns are performed clockwise and counterclockwise.
Each nozzle is intended for certain purposes:
- Soft villi remove dead cells and cleanse. Manufacturers often offer several options in one set, which differ in rigidity.
- The stone polishes the skin.
- The roller soothes and adds smoothness.
- Pumice combined all functions at once.
Such hardware facial cleansing assumes a superficial nature.
Most often this is:
- Various sponges;
- Penza for face;
- Cleaning attachments differing in degree of hardness and size.
The choice of the optimal nozzle is made based on the type and sensitivity of the integument.
Manufacturers are massively engaged in the creation of this kind of cleaning elements; their use is possible not only in the salon, but also at home.
Cleaning at home
If you don’t want to spend money on a procedure in a salon and pay for it, you can purchase a device for home beauty sessions.
Choose the simplest model for yourself and select several attachments:
- When steaming, use a scrub or alcohol lotions, although as an option, just steam it over hot water or a decoction of medicinal herbs.
- Always monitor the speed/intensity of the nozzle – this will allow you to evaluate the effectiveness of hardware cleaning and select the optimal operating mode.
- You should not conduct more than 2 sessions per week. In a short period of time, the dermis will not have time to recover, and you will only cause harm.
- If the dermis has lost its elasticity, the rotation speed of the nozzle should be minimal.
And keep the attachments clean - they come into contact with the skin, remove the top layer, and if there are germs on them, it will only get worse.
Contraindications
The need to clean the skin is not always real, as there are contraindications to performing the work.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Pregnancy and lactation period. Directly related to changes in the body’s hormonal levels. The result of the procedure is difficult to predict; it is unknown how the face will behave when performing such a cleansing.
- Low skin elasticity. The impact of deep massage leads to greater stretching of the skin and the appearance of wrinkles. The effect is the opposite; physiological aging of the skin is accelerated, which is very difficult to combat.
- Couperosis is noticeable on the face, the skin is very sensitive. In this case, the thinning of tender and delicate areas of the skin, existing imperfections and problems will be visible.
- Skin inflammation, damage, wounds are taboos for brushing.
Trying to carry out the procedure in the latter case, you can get a lot of problems, which include:
- Expansion of the area of the disease - the existing disease will occupy the entire skin of the face.
- Pain, burning, discomfort.
- Serious inflammatory processes will appear, the problem will affect the deep layers of the skin, and infection is possible.
Average prices
The cost of such a service will depend on the country, city and region, as well as on the degree of “stardom” of a particular beauty salon. Of course, the most prestigious salons charge higher prices than simple beauty salons. On average, the price can range from 10 to 20 US dollars for one brushing session. Sometimes the procedure can cost up to $50.
Home treatments can be a big advantage in this case. For the cost that you will spend when visiting a beauty salon, you can purchase a device that allows you to perform brushing yourself.
Question answer
No additional care is required; a standard lifestyle can be maintained. Sunbathing, solarium, and use of decorative cosmetics are acceptable.
Considering all the advantages, we will also mention one disadvantage of performing the procedure - the cosmic effect is easy, since the cleaning process itself is very delicate.
Using brushing, you will not be able to remove deep wrinkles or noticeable facial defects. This procedure is cleansing. It can be carried out regardless of seasonality, and a minimum of time will be spent on work.
Post-peeling care
In fact, no special care is required after brossage. You can, as before, use cosmetics and decorative products, sunbathe, visit a solarium and lead a lifestyle that is familiar to you.
The only thing is that all this should be abandoned on the first day, since the skin will react very strongly to any impact on it. And this is quite normal, because the pores are still open, the upper layers of the epidermis have been removed, and the skin itself has a bright or slightly red color.
We create a beauty salon at home
Many people are interested in how to do facial brushing at home. In fact, all stages of its implementation are identical to those in the salon.
The advantage of doing it at home is that you can save a lot of money and get good results.

When buying a device to perform the procedure at home, you can expect to spend up to 12,000 rubles. The indicator varies depending on the brand that is the creator of the device and the number of attachments selected. There are quality options in the price range of 7-8 thousand rubles.
Some alternative is the use of special sponges for cleaning the skin, facial brushes. They cost little and give a good effect. Gentle exfoliation is achieved, the costs will not be high.

It is advisable to first study the reviews in order to know exactly which device is worthy of the money you want to spend on it. But how to clean - with a special brush or sponge - is up to you to decide. It's a matter of habit.
Combination with other procedures
You can resort to other facial care methods in combination with brossage. It’s worth saying even more - this will only work in your favor and help you achieve better results in the shortest possible time.
A good solution could be a combination of brossage with manual facial cleansing, coral peeling, conventional and laser biorevitalization, mesotherapy (including non-injection).
In addition, it is not prohibited to resort to non-surgical thread lifting and even Botox injections.
But here it should be taken into account that such methods should be resorted to seven to ten days after the last brushing session.
All kinds of masks will be very useful. They can be used both in conjunction with this peeling, and after its use after a certain period. Homemade masks are nourishing and moisturizing - a real treat for your face.
You can use products made from natural clay, such as blue, white, pink or black. Egg and oil masks are also very useful.

How is work done at home?
The main step is to purchase special mechanical brushes to perform the procedure. Most often, instructions are given for such elements; the set standardly includes 4 items.
At home you can do the following:
- Steam your facial skin. Some people use a bowl of warm water and cover their head with a towel to achieve maximum results.
- Applying scrub to steamed skin.
- High-quality deep massage using a special brush.
You need to focus on your feeling, maximum comfort. The pressure on the skin can increase or decrease, and the speed of rotation of the brush changes in the same way.
In order to tone the skin, after the procedure, use ice cubes to wipe your face, select the ideal moisturizer.
There is no need for a rehabilitation period; it will take minimal time to perform this procedure at home.
Reviews
Before visiting a beauty salon or cleaning your home, consider what reviews your facial brushing has received.
Below are 3 varied reviews left by women who have undergone this procedure:
ALBINA, 27 YEARS OLD:
“This is not the first month I have been using brushing procedures in the salon.
I have very oily skin that is prone to breakouts. Blackheads constantly appear and the sebaceous glands become clogged. For me, it’s optimal to visit the salon on average once every 10 days; more often I simply don’t have time. The result after such a cleansing is truly amazing - the face becomes much cleaner, the pores become smaller, the skin looks much healthier and fresher.
The procedure is really worth the money they ask for it. I simply don’t have the opportunity to do this kind of cleaning at home.”
EKATERINA, 22 YEARS OLD:
“I visited the salon a couple of times for brushing, and now I understand that it can be easily done at home.
About 8 months ago I bought everything I needed to do the cleaning, and I don’t regret it. The skin really changes from regularly performing this procedure, and I know that I do not use any strong substances or “chemicals”.
I like the result, in the first three months my face has changed noticeably, my skin has become smoother, firmer, more elastic, and moisturized. I would like to note that the selection of products for cleaning and moisturizing played a big role.”
GALINA, 30 YEARS OLD:
“I visited the salon for brushing 5 or 6 times, but, unfortunately, I did not see the desired result.
It is noticeable that the skin has become cleaner, but the effect of cleansers is too superficial; you will not see a dramatic change.
I decided that deep cleansing my skin several times a year was enough for me, and I simply gave up going to the beauty salon for brushing sessions. I think this is an unnecessary waste of money.”
Indications for use
Facial brushing is a procedure with a complex effect, so the list of indications for its use is quite extensive. The main goal is comprehensive care, prevention of initial age-related changes in patients of the middle age group.
Brushing (this term can refer to both the procedure and the device itself) is very effective in the fight against blackheads, increased oiliness, and various inflammatory non-infectious skin diseases. Immediately after using the device, the dermis is smoothed out, becomes very soft, and acquires a fresh, healthy shade. The penetration of nutrients and vitamins contained in cosmetics improves, which increases the effectiveness of its use.

There are certain rules that require working with certain skin types. Work is performed 2 times every 10 days in case of oily skin. You can visit a cosmetologist once a month if your skin is normal. Once every 2-3 months, you should visit a specialist if your skin is dry and prone to aging.

A basic rule worth remembering is that cleansing can be adapted to suit any skin type, regardless of age.
The optimal option for the procedure is for girls and women aged 20 to 30 who do not have pronounced skin problems. How often the work is performed is decided by the specialist. It is also worth adhering to the rules that the doctor talks about. Many women prefer to buy facial brushing in Moscow and carry out the procedure at home, since the cost of providing salon services is quite high, and by doing everything yourself, you can get the same effect.
This allows you to save significantly while enjoying soft, beautiful and even skin. But the effect after salon manipulation is much higher.
Types of nozzles, indications for their use
During a session, the doctor usually uses several attachments at once, having previously identified the main problems through testing. If the patient has sensitive or irritated skin, they are limited to using only roller or fluffy nozzles with minimal pressure (minimum power of the device).
There are the following types of attachments for the facial brushing procedure:
