Whether your skin is sensitive, combination, acne prone or pretty balanced, a cleansing brush can help make it even better. Proven to remove more makeup, grime and pollution more thoroughly than using our fingertips alone, adding a brush to your skin-care routine is a no-brainer. And now, with the plethora of options available, it doesn’t have to hurt your wallet, either.
Foreo Luna 3 ($199)
The latest from silicone-powered FOREO is nothing short of a perfect match for your skin. Each of the three vibrating versions were created for a specific skin type: Combination skin will agree with the blue option; sensitive complexions are made for the lavender brush, and for normal skin types, try the pink.
Vanity Planet Raedia Facial Cleansing Brush ($100)
Two adjustable speeds, three changing heads and a ventilated travel case makes this sturdy, multitasking option perfect for those always on the go.
Clarisonic Mia Smart 3-in-1 Connected Beauty Device ($169)
If you’re looking to invest in your skin, this high-tech sonic brush is a great place to start. It connects to an adjacent skin-care app and allows you to easily customize a routine tailored to your skin; it also boasts a guided timer so you can feel confident you’ve thoroughly cleansed before bed.
PMD Clean Pro ($179)
This silicone facial cleanser is easy to maneuver thanks to its no-slip handle, but also boasts a soothing heated plate to open up pores and really boost the efficacy of your favorite products.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Cleansing Duo Face Brush ($14)
An answered prayer for sensitive skin types that can’t tolerate traditional cleansing brushes, this double-sides brush features baby-soft bristles on one side and a gentle silicone exfoliator on the other for a thorough clean without any redness.
Sephora Collection Precision Pore Cleansing Pad ($6)
When pores need a deep-clean, reach for this affordable, lightweight exfoliator. It doesn’t have to be charged, easily fits into the nooks and crannies of the face that larger brushes can’t treat (think: the corners of the nose) and can easily be tucked away in a gym bag for better skin on the go.
Michael Todd Beauty Soniclear Petite Set ($83.50)
A smaller—but equally effective—version of the brand’s top-selling full-size system, this sonic cleanser removes every speck of makeup and debris with help from its antimicrobial bristles for your cleanest skin yet.
