One Tool Multiple Functions

It still amazes me how many of us are out there that avoid all contact with ““equipment” in facial and body procedures. I know what you’re thinking; I’ve heard it all before”… ““Nothing beats human touch”… I can do a better job with my hands.” I wouldn’t disagree, but what I am urging you to do is to take a moment to simply look at things from a different point of view (my fiance absolutely hates when I say that to him!).

The rotary brush alone serves multiple functions. It can be used as a second cleanse to provide a more thorough, deeper cleansing process, as well as being used for gentle exfoliation. Most come with sponge and brush attachments of various abrasiveness. The rotary brush is also a fabulous tool to be used in treatments designed for the back!
