If you’ve had one of my facials, there is a good chance you’ll recognise the bt-sonic® facial cleansing brush.

I use bt-sonic brushes as part of my professional facial treatments, and it’s one of those seemingly simple stages that clients regularly comment on. Not because it’s uncomfortable or aggressive, quite the opposite. I often hear “Oh! What’s that? It feels so relaxing!”

So I thought it was about time I made the bt-sonic available for my clients to use at home too.

Why cleansing really matters

We can spend a lot of money on serums, moisturisers and active ingredients, but they all start with the same thing: properly cleansed skin.

Throughout the day, our skin accumulates make-up, SPF, oil and everyday impurities. A good cleansing routine removes these without needing to aggressively scrub or overwork the skin.

This is one of the reasons I like the bt-sonic. It combines microsonic technology with soft silicone bristles to provide a thorough but gentle cleanse.

The clever triangular cleansing head is particularly useful for working around the contours of the face and reaching areas that can easily be missed with fingers alone.

Professional cleansing, without the harsh brush

One of the things I particularly like about the bt-sonic is that it doesn’t rely on traditional facial brush bristles.

Instead, the silicone cleansing surface provides gentle exfoliating action while the sonic movement does the work.

The cleansing head is also silver-ion infused, and the device is water resistant, making it practical for everyday use at home or in the shower.

It’s lightweight and portable too, so it’s an easy addition to your skincare routine whether you’re at home or travelling.

The bit my facial clients love

There’s another reason I use bt-sonic professionally.

It feels lovely.

During my facials I can use two bt-sonic brushes together, working symmetrically across the face. It creates a wonderfully relaxing part of the treatment while allowing me to perform a thorough professional cleanse.

It’s a great example of something I always talk about with clients: effective skincare doesn’t have to feel aggressive.

How to use your bt-sonic at home

Using it is simple.

Apply your chosen cleanser to damp skin, switch on your bt-sonic and gently work the cleansing head over the face. Pay particular attention to areas such as around the nose and chin.

There’s no need to press hard or scrub. Let the sonic movement and silicone cleansing head do the work.

Rinse your skin thoroughly, clean your bt-sonic after use and continue with the rest of your skincare routine.

What cleanser should I use with it?

Your cleansing device is only one part of the equation. What you use with it should be appropriate for your skin too.

For clients using Cliniccare, I recommend pairing the bt-sonic with Cliniccare Concentrated Cleansing Foam for a simple professional home cleansing routine.

If you’re unsure which products are right for your skin, please ask me. I’d much rather help you choose products that suit your skin than have you build a bathroom shelf full of things you don’t need!

Want to experience it in clinic first?

If you’ve never experienced the bt-sonic, you can try it as part of a Cliniccare Targeted Facial with me in clinic.

The bt-sonic facial cleansing brush is £74 and is now available to purchase from me.

For me, home skincare isn’t about having dozens of products or complicated routines. It’s about using the right products and tools consistently.

And if you already love the bt-sonic part of your facial, you can now enjoy that same lovely cleansing ritual at home.
