Skin beauty has always been important for women, but nowadays facial skin requires special care. It is difficult to remain young and beautiful in modern cities, in polluted and dry air filled with dust and chemicals, and sudden changes in weather caused by global climate change also become a “quite a shock” for the skin.
Various rejuvenation methods are now used - cosmetology is developing quickly and in all directions, and one of the popular caring procedures has become facial brushing, so loved by many women for its painlessness, effectiveness and ease of implementation.
We will tell you right now about how the face lifting procedure occurs, its advantages, indications and what reviews say.
What kind of peeling is this
During brushing, mechanical peeling is carried out with special attachments made from natural bristles. They vary in level of rigidity and size. They are selected by a cosmetologist based on the sensitivity of the patient’s skin. Several attachments can be used in one procedure. For the T-zone, use stiff bristles. The device rotates in different directions - you can set the desired speed, which determines the depth and quality of cleaning.
Peeling brossage device
The equipment for carrying out the procedure in question is a neat, uncluttered apparatus that provides automatic rotation of brushes or other attachments. The kit necessarily includes several sponges, brushes and pumice stones of varying hardness. This allows you to select devices for each specific type of facial skin. In addition, the device makes it possible to regulate the rotation speed of any attachment and even the direction.
Peeling brushing machine
With proper use of the equipment and full study of the instructions for it, facial hair removal will be carried out as correctly as possible, and this means obtaining the expected results.
The peeling brossage device can be used not only in beauty salons and specialized beauty salons, but also in independent mode.
Indications for use
Brushing is a superficial peeling, so you can resort to it often. It is suitable for everyone, regardless of skin type. The procedure is especially useful for:
- enlarged pores;
- withering, dry, oily skin;
- comedones;
- acne;
- thick and gray skin;
- decreased elasticity.
The manipulation is carried out before chemical peeling, applying masks and massage, manual or vacuum cleaning. It increases the efficiency of procedures.
Attention! Brossage shows the best results on young problem skin suffering from acne. Women with deep wrinkles may not notice changes after the session.
Benefits of brushing and results from use
Brushing, being a type of peeling, is superior in many respects to types of this procedure performed using chemical compounds (chemical peels). This gentle technique is suitable for patients with highly sensitive skin prone to dryness, peeling and irritation.
Benefits of brushing:
- No damaging effects on skin cells. The risks of burns and other damage that are possible when using other resurfacing methods (laser, chemical or radio frequency peeling) are eliminated.
- Positive effect on the functional state of the epidermis. Brushing not only mechanically removes contaminants, but also improves oxygen transport and metabolic processes. Decay products are removed from the surface layers of the epidermis, resulting in improved cellular respiration and increased local immunity.
- No pain. During operation of the device, the patient does not experience any painful sensations (other deep peeling techniques often require preliminary anesthesia).
Note! The maximum effect is achieved by simultaneous use of brushing with special hardware cosmetics.
To make your skin look fresh and healthy after brushing, you will need to perform about 10 sessions. The interval between procedures is determined by the cosmetologist after the initial diagnosis. Home appliances can be used daily.

Efficiency of the procedure
The technique smoothes the face and evens out its color. The skin becomes stronger and healthier in appearance, becomes silky and smooth.
The bristles of the attachments cleanse the epidermis without harming it. Dead and rough parts of the upper layers are removed. A massage occurs that improves blood supply and saturates the skin with oxygen.
During the procedure, the pores are cleansed of dirt, sebum and comedones, pigment spots and freckles fade. The work of the sweat and sebaceous glands is improved. Skin hydration and regeneration are restored, wrinkles and small scars become less noticeable. The face acquires a healthy glow.
What does facial brosage do?
If we talk about the advantages of this procedure, one of the main points is safety. This peeling does not harm the skin, since the bristles of the device do not penetrate deep into the epidermis, but work exclusively on the surface.
During the procedure, the sensations, as a rule, do not cause discomfort and resemble a slight tingling sensation. For the best effect, experts advise relaxing the facial muscles.
At the same time, the effect of the technique does not take long to appear. So, brossage does the following to the skin:
- cleanses pores of impurities and sebum, removes blackheads (open comedones) and reduces the saturation of age spots and freckles;
- activates blood circulation and removes products of cell breakdown and metabolism;
- increases the penetration of oxygen and nutrients into tissues;
- accelerates metabolic processes and regeneration of skin cells;
- improves the natural hydration of the skin, increases its tone, reduces fine wrinkles, fine lines and eliminates superficial scars;
- normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous and sweat glands, reduces enlarged pores.
In fact, this technique combines two procedures at once: peeling and massage, simultaneously providing an exfoliating, cleansing and stimulating blood circulation effect. Using the procedure, the dead horny and shiny (deeper) layers of the epithelium are removed with simultaneous massage of the skin. After peeling, the skin is noticeably smoothed, acquiring an even color and a healthy glow.
Brossage can be carried out to eliminate these skin problems, as well as for preventive purposes. Brushing is good because it does not require special care from the client “before” or “after” exfoliation.
How does peeling work?
The cosmetologist cleanses the skin of makeup and dirt using cleansers. This is a preventive measure against inflammation. Next comes vaporization - saturation of the skin with hot air. Some specialists apply a cosmetic napkin. This opens the pores, blood flows to the epidermis, making the skin easier to clean.
Next, the cosmetologist selects cosmetics. During brosage, deep cleanings, enzyme peels, and exfoliants are used. They contain natural enzymes that promote deep cleaning. The product is applied to the neck, chest and face. The areas are treated with a sponge, massaging. Then rotating brushes are used. They are directed to problem areas with light movements at least three times. To treat elastic skin, set a high rotation speed, for flabby skin - a minimum speed. In delicate and sensitive areas near the lips and eyes, use a small soft brush.
If improvement in skin texture is required, the cosmetologist performs peeling with pumice. The face is covered with a gel or scrub with small particles and polished with massage movements. Manipulations are carried out for 10–20 minutes.
Important point! The procedure does not cause any pain or tickling. It feels like a pleasant massage.
Depending on the patient’s wishes, the décolleté and neck area can be treated. This is done with a special roller. To make your face glow, use the polishing attachment. At the end, sponges moistened with water are applied to it. Afterwards, nourishing and moisturizing products are applied. All masks, tonics and pore reduction products are absorbed as much as possible after brushing.
Skin care after
Professional brossage does not require special care after the procedure. Cosmetologists allow you to immediately use masks, creams, tonics and decorative cosmetics. There are no restrictions on exposure to direct sunlight.

Healing period
After the procedure, the face looks refreshed and rejuvenated. Pure and soft, it shines from within. There are no side effects such as redness. The face will be moisturized and well-groomed throughout the entire course, consisting of 8–10 procedures.
To maintain the results and not harm the epidermis, the time interval between courses should be at least 90 days. For oily skin, the optimal frequency of sessions is once a week, for dry and normal skin - a couple of times a month. After brossage, you can use your usual care products.
Stages, duration and recovery
For cleaning, you do not need to comply with certain conditions or carry out preparatory measures.
The only recommendation is that a few days before cleaning you should not visit a solarium and use cleansers containing abrasive particles.
How it goes
- It all starts with careful removal of decorative cosmetics and cleansing the face of impurities. This is necessary to prevent the risk of infection and the occurrence of inflammatory processes.
- Steaming the epidermis. It is carried out using warm wet compresses, steam baths with essential oils. Then a cleansing gel, scrub or peeling cream is applied - this helps open the pores and softens the skin. The procedure is not performed for sensitive and too dry skin that has low tone.
- Excess moisture is removed with a clean napkin, and cotton pads are applied to the eye area.
- The cleaning begins. The impact is carried out using a special technique with varying degrees of intensity. The choice of attachment depends on the type and sensitivity of the skin. When using a pumice attachment, apply a moisturizing gel.
- Removing cosmetic residues and applying a nourishing and pigment-reducing gel. As an alternative, use a tonic or moisturizing mask.
Course duration
A noticeable visual effect is achieved by completing a course of 10-12 sessions. The break between courses must be at least three months.
The frequency of manipulation depends on the skin type.
- Normal or oily skin can be cleansed in a similar way twice a week.
- Dry and sensitive skin should not be treated more than twice a month.
Healing period
Brossage is a gentle procedure that does not injure the epidermis and does not require a rehabilitation period. No restoration is required, since there is no damage after such cleaning.
Can it be done at home?
The affordable cost of the device and ease of operation allow you to carry out the brossage yourself. Instead of a device that costs 7,000 rubles, you can use an electric brush.
The face is steamed over hot water for 10 minutes, a scrub is applied and the device is turned on. Use gentle circular movements to work the entire surface. Afterwards, wipe it with tonic or ice from chamomile infusion, and apply moisturizer.
When brossage, an exfoliating peeling cream is required. You can buy it at any cosmetics store. Mary Kay has released a special cleansing brush - Skinvigorate.
Advice. In combination with face cream and a mask with hyaluronic acid from Mary Kay, it gives results that are indistinguishable from the salon. It has two speed switch buttons and several attachments.
Precautionary measures
When performing the procedure at home, you must ensure that the nozzles rotate correctly. On the left side of the face they should rotate counterclockwise, on the right - vice versa. The brush should be held so that it touches the area being treated tightly. It is better to close your eyes so that the emulsion does not get into your eyes. The total duration of the procedure should not exceed a quarter of an hour.
The brosage procedure is undesirable if:
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- sensitive skin;
- herpes;
- rosacea;
- eczema;
- demodicosis;
- inflammation;
- open wounds, ulcers and scratches;

In addition, such peeling is contraindicated during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

- Possibility of holding all year round;
- reasonable price;
- minimum session time;
