I’ve never used any tools like the Braun FaceSpa Pro before, so was keen to give everything it had to offer a go! It comes with 3 separate heads: an epilator, facial brush and a MicroVibration head.
The Epilator: A little daunting to try when you’ve never used one before, took some getting used to with the slight discomfort and I didn’t find it as effective in short hair removal as I expected.
The Facial Brush: This is my favourite! A gentle soft brush that cleansed my skin really nicely. I applied face wash to my damp face, and gently moved the brush around my face. You don’t need to press it hard into your skin, just glide it lightly across your face so it doesn’t pull your skin, and let the spinning brush do the hard work. My skin felt so clean and smooth afterwards, it felt like I’d just had a lovely exfoliating facial at the beauty spa!
The MicroVibration Head: The instructions are to apply your serum or cream straight to the cooling head and put it on your skin and the vibrations help your skin to absorb the products better. I enjoyed using this but unsure yet of it’s effectiveness, although it feels very nice and I concentrate under my eyes for the puffiness, which I believe it’s pretty good for. The vibrations pause after 20 seconds so you can move onto another part of your face.
Overall an enjoyable product to try but I’m not sure I’m fully addicted to it yet, except the cleansing brush!
I bought a Braun Face Spa a few years ago. The brand name, product promises and packaging had me convinced I had purchased the right product for my needs, having long been a fan of Braun quality and reliability. The brush head's great for gentle facial and neck cleaning and mild exfoliating. The epilator head fails to meet expectations, however. I have tried many different types of battery, from the best to the cheapest, but all fail to feed much more than fatigued life into this gadget, which rotates at moderate rate at best. It's hopeless for removing peach fuzz, and makes a real chore of removing even the odd unwanted hair. Yesterday, when in the Chemist Warehouse, I spotted Shlick epilator, with a more effective epilator head, which I bought immediately, and tried last night. It works like an absolute dream in comparison, and is completely painless!
Tips: Return it to the shop immediately if it seems to be underpowered! Do compare with other brands before you purchase. With more options available here now, there are some good ones to choose from.
