How often should I use a cleansing brush?

Most dermatologists recommend once daily, preferably at night to remove the day's buildup of sunscreen, makeup, and environmental pollutants. Twice daily can over-exfoliate and damage your moisture barrier.

Can cleansing brushes cause breakouts?

Initially yes — purging is common in the first 1-2 weeks as deep-seated impurities surface. If breakouts persist beyond 3 weeks, reduce frequency or switch to a gentler brush head.
