Facial cleansing brushes have been gaining popularity over the past few years thanks to their transformative skincare benefits. We are huge advocates of the devices and can’t imagine life without one (although life before did exist). The beauty power tool can be a big investment, however, and we totally understand if you have reservations. We’re not against the old-school method of skin cleansing, which is how we washed our faces before we had the luxury of the facial brush. But the bottom line is that splurging on this skincare game changer is totally worth it — and here’s why.

The Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush

A new favorite device on the market is the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush ($89.50). It complements the brand’s renowned 3-Step Skin Care System with its unique brush design. The angled tip, which features shorter bristles than the rest of the brush for a deeper cleaning, makes it easy to use on areas prone to clogging like the area around the nose and T-zone.
