| | | EVER used a face brush?
 
you lather your face with your cleanser and then swirl this type of brush around your face. The end result is an amazingly smooth vibrant complexion. Ive found that it really helps with my clogged pores, and moisturizers/night creams seem to work better after i "brushed" my skin.
anyone have one?

| | | I have one from The Body Shop. I think they are great! I don't recommend it for people with moderate-severe acne, it's too rough. But if you want to get all of the dirt and stuff off your face, it's really good. Also it stimulates your skin so you look more healthy. |

| | This helps with blood circulation- I don't do that, nor any kind of physical exfoliation,as I tend to broken capillaries. 
I don't like anything scratching my skin ( I know that the brush is very soft, i mean generally! ). I use a rx retinoid, and if I needed extra exfoliation I'd use a BHA (salicylic acid,only thing that can actually get inside a clogged pore and exfoliate) or an AHA (which can't get inside the pore, but nevertheless exfoliates dead skin cells away).  Nice info here: http://janssenbeauty.com/us/skincare.html and also on Paula Begoun's site.

| | | I used one for about 3 months or so and I think if helped unclog my pores along with the BHA and Mandelic Acid I was using. I haven't used it in a month or so, now I just use a washcloth. I'll probably get another one, mine was kind of scratchy. |

| | | I bought a face brush at Sephora last weekend for $5. I really like the way my skin feels after I use it! It felt much softer and healthier. As mentioned above, it also does a great job prepping my skin for a mask.

| | Mine looks similar to this one except the handle is clear, not white. http://www.sephora.com/browse/produc...navAction=jump
It's really soft and gentle and doesn't irritate my skin.

If I'll need help with this subject I'll ask you....so not only denim fan, you are a "cosmetic fan" too.....
I'm thinking of how many US products we can't find here in Italy....
