Now not sure about you, but I'm someone who likes to minimize any contact to my face with my fingers. Not just that I'm a bit of a germaphobe, but I tend to think that most of the time using our fingers can hardly reach the crevices and pores well to full cleanse our face of daily impurities, grime and perspiration. Switching up my game, I turn to the Philips VisaPure Advanced Home Facial Device!
Not just a mere cleansing brush, the Philips VisaPure Advanced Home Facial Device is every beauty lover's dream (not to mention it's so sleek looking with its rose gold accents!) It comes with 3 changeable mode heads, a pouch, a storage palette. Let's take a look at the gadget body first: it's imbued with 2 intensity settings, and packs a Dual Motion with Intelligent Head Recognition.

Here's how I used them for my daily skincare regime:#1: Prepping for clean skin with the Deep Cleansing head
I began by dampening my face and the brush head (remove it and wet, do not attach it to the handle while doing so); before dotting my face with a facial cleanser. Fitting the brush head back, I then activated it at speed 1 (it has 2 speed settings), which created a gentle circular exfoliation. Personally I found the bristles abit harder than expected, but not abrasive to the point that it feels uncomfortable to use.
If you check out my video, I actually go in a circular motion and concentrate alot on the T-zone area of my face as that's where I usually have high sebum secretion and the place that is likely to clog skin. After rinsing the lather away, I noticed a significantly clarified and brightened face; the bristles effectively exfoliated the dullness of my complexion; I believe this is due to the dead skin build up. I also appreciate the thoughtfulness of the gadget design, where the brush head actually stops if you are pressing too hard against your face to avoid jamming.
#2: De-puffing my peepers with the Fresh Eyes Head
Next, I switched to the Fresh Eyes head which is made of a special cool material that's coated with cooling premium ceramic to depuff and dispel water retention in puffy eyes. The rose mauve head contains a gentle massage program with 120 nano-vibrations per second, and is uniquely created be gentle enough for the thin, fragile eye area. The program lasts only 30 seconds, so its perfect as a quick pick-me-up for those rushed mornings.
Of the 3 heads, this gave the most pronounced results when I used it with my Klarity Diamond Glow Eye Treatment cream. I simply dot along the under eye area, than gently graze the cooling pink piece in an outward direction. The micro-vibrations of the gadget helps to mildly and swiftly massage the product into my skin. while the cool temperature eased up my eyes' swollen state. Its oblong shape fits comfortably around the eye crevice, making it easy to maneuver along the area.

#3: Massage pampering with the Revitalizing Massage Head
Probably the most interesting head option is this flower-shaped, 5-roller ball massager head! When your face has a good blood circulation, the nourishing effects of skincare gets better absorbed and the skin is more receptive to the benefits. This brings out its natural radiance, leaving it looking revitalized and with a healthy glow. It feels like 750 gentle finger taps per minuteIt feels like 750 gentle finger taps per minute Thanks to the elegant and functional design of the head with its five small balls, it feels like 750 gentle finger tapping movements per minute.
For me, I found this such a joy to use: Alternating with my IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Moisturiser or Body Shop Facial Oil as an emollient, I apply and pat the product on to the face first, before activating the massager head onto my face in an upwards direction towards the hairline. This creates a lifting effect to prevent premature sagging; plus it feels very gentle and comfortable...like small fingers kneading the pressure points on your face without pulling at it.
Interesting fact: Did you know that the massage head is actually developed with experts in Japanese facial massage? In fact, the dedicated program is inspired by a worldwide renowned massage technique called Petrissage, which is favored for its deep tissue massage to stimulates blood circulation and sooth facial muscles. This is definitely one fuss-free way to spoil yourself with a quality face massage without leaving the comfort of home.
