When washing your face, is it better to use your clean hands or one of those spin brushes ?

spin brush and acne

The best way to wash your face is gently with your hands. The 2 upper layers of the skin—the stratum corneum and the epidermis—are very important for skin renewal and healing and protect the lower layers of the skin from toxic substances and bacteria invasion. Electric spin brushes can be helpful for some with very mild acne (when used correctly and sparingly) but are not recommended for most as they can damage these outer layers of the skin and actually cause more breakouts.
