Steps for The Brush Machine

A
  1. Before using the brush, lightly cleanse the client’s skin
  2. Insert the appropriate size brush into the handheld device
  3. Apply more cleanser or water to the skin. Do not let excess water drip down face or eyes. Use piece of cotton or towel to catch excess water.
  4. Use the brush approximately three times on each area, or for approximately 3-5 seconds, unless directed otherwise. Keep brush moving across the face without stopping.
  5. Dip the head of the brush into water, adjust the speed, and begin a horizontal pattern across the forehead. The brush should be damp, not drippy. Wipe excess water on a towel if necessary.
  6. Continue the rotation down to the cheeks, nose, upper lip, chin, jaw, and neck areas.
  7. Do not apply pressure. Allow the rotating brush to do the work. The bristles of the brush should remain straight.
  8. Lift the brush from the skin and turn off the machine.
