Exfoliation is the process where the superficial layer of the skin is removed. This superficial layer is a built up of dead skin and impurities like make up and sweat. To eliminate this dead skin, we need to exfoliate once or twice a week. Facial brushes are part of the mechanical peelings, and one of the tools that we find in every single beauty shop. They are easy to use and economic. Facial brushes can be manual or automatic and they are amazing to apply products deeply into your skin.
