What is Sonic Cleansing Technology & Why Does My Face Need It?

As you’re probably aware, cleansing your skin is essential. Removing dirt, pollution, product residue, dead skin cells, and sebum (an oily, waxy substance produced by your sebaceous glands) is fundamental in having healthy, clear skin. It also allows your skincare products to have better absorption and work more effectively.

When it comes to skin cleansing, it’s easy to overdo it – which can cause all kinds of skin problems. Many cleansers, toners, and exfoliators contain harsh chemicals that disrupt your skin’s natural balance. This can counteract the good the product is doing and actually cause irritation, breakouts, and dry or oily skin.


Solution: Sonic Facial Cleansing Devices


What is Sonic Cleansing?

Sonic cleansing refers to the low-frequency, rapid vibration technology used in a sonic cleaning device. Sonic vibration technology is a cutting-edge, anti-aging skincare method that offers deep, effective, gentle cleansing and rejuvenation.

Sonic cleansing devices are an electric brush with a soft, silicone bristle brush head that vibrates. It’s meant to replace your hands and fingers as you apply your skincare products. It also gently exfoliates as you cleanse and rejuvenate your skin.

What Does Sonic Cleansing Do?

It allows your skincare products to absorb deeper into your pores while also releasing trapped dirt, oil, and buildup. It also helps slough off rough flakes and dead skin cells and decreases puffiness and congestion by stimulating circulation and lymphatic drainage. This helps relax wrinkle-causing tension, smooth fine lines, rejuvenate your skin elasticity, and give you a dewy, youthful glow.

What Makes Sonic Cleansing So Amazing?

Sonic cleansing enhances product absorption, eliminates product waste, reduces bacteria and germs being transferred from your fingers to your skin, cleanses thoroughly without compromising the skin barrier, and exfoliates gently while rejuvenating your skin inside and out. 

  • The Cleanest Way To Cleanse
  • Did you know your hands, fingers, and fingernails harbor a LOT of bacteria and germs that aren’t cleansed – even with detailed hand washing? You can avoid rubbing that dirt and bacteria into your pores by using a sonic cleansing device.


  • Superior Cleansing
  • Studies show that sonic facial cleansing is far more effective and efficient than cleansing with fingers – and it’s even safe for people with skin sensitivities like acne and rosacea. Sonic cleansing devices are also more effective in cleansing the skin of pollution particles.


  • Gentle Exfoliation
  • Sonic facial cleansing devices are generally safe and are not abrasive for the skin or disruptive to the skin barrier. Their optimal parameters ensure there’s no damage to the skin’s collagen fibers.


  • Superior Product Absorption - Without Waste
  • Sure, you can apply your cleanser with your hands and fingers. But, did you know a lot of your precious product will be absorbed into … your fingers … instead of your face?!

    The micropulsations of the sonic cleansing device help your skincare product’s active ingredients absorb deep into your pores. It also improves circulation, skin elasticity, collagen production, and reduces the appearance of pores.


  • Safe For All Skin Types 
  • The efficacy of electronic sonic cleansing brushes has been demonstrated on people with skin sensitivities - including acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. So far, sonic facial cleansing devices are considered safe for consistent use, even with these dermatological conditions. 


  • Anti-Aging
  • Although more research is needed, studies show that cyclic mechanical stimulation may induce protein in the skin. Another study showed a sonic facial cleanser device improved the wrinkle-reducing effects of an anti-aging cream that was used with the sonic cleanser.


  • Massage Benefits
  • It’s no secret that facial massages bring nutrients to the surface and improve your skin’s appearance by increasing blood flow, lymphatic drainage, collagen, and elastin. The boosted microcirculation also helps you decrease puffiness and achieve a dewy, youthful glow from inside out.



    How Does Sonic Cleansing Work?

    The best sonic cleansing devices use an optimal range of frequency and amplitude of vibrations that loosen dirt particles and sebum that have adhered to the pores.

    When used on the skin, sonic facial cleansing devices create cyclic deformation and relaxation at up to 160 times per second. The repetitive, pulsating motions gradually loosen adhesions between the pores and comedones, dead skin, and dirt. The soft bristles can then remove the debris and rough flakes, resulting in vibrant, youthful, glowing skin.

    The low-frequency pulsations also help relax myofascial tension and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. The gentle massage also boosts microcirculation which delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells while carrying out toxins and waste.

     

    What’s Better: Nylon or Silicone Sonic Cleansing Brushes?

    100% silicone! Nylon bristles and brush heads should not be put in the same category as gentle sonic silicone bristles. 

     


    5 Reasons To Avoid Nylon Cleansing Devices:

    1. Damaging. Nylon bristles are harsh and can cause microtears in your delicate facial skin.
    2. Dirty. They harbor lots of bacteria and are very difficult to keep clean and hygienic (unlike silicone, which is naturally antibacterial).
    3. Inferior technology. Nylon bristles and brush heads are not considered sonic technology. They are oscillating, which can be damaging to the skin and can cause premature wrinkles from all the tugging from the oscillation.
    4. Waste. Unlike silicone, nylon bristles must constantly be thrown away and replaced. This ends up costing you more money, while also filling up landfills.
    5. Invest Wisely. While nylon brushes may initially seem cheaper, the sum total of all the brush head replacements - combined with the skin damage and premature signs of aging - may not be a worthy investment.
