Investigation and trial revealed that the bt-sonic is the latest portable addition to the Bio-Therapeutic bt-GEAR line. Water resistant and built for everyday use, its ergonomic shape is comfortable in the hand, while its triangular cleansing head feels great on your skin. The anti-microbial and anti-bacterial Azul silicone bristles got into spots which other products simply can’t reach, while our bearded spa consultant sang it’s praises at how his facial hair proved no match for a through clean.

So why the need for a thorough cleanse? Smoking, alcohol, stress, environmental pollution, a poor diet and lack of exercise are all guilty of the same crime; they prematurely age our skin. Now add one more offender to the list, an offense which we’ve all fallen prey to. Sleeping with makeup on. Hands up if you’ve done this before either when dozing off on the couch or after an indulgent night out. C’mon, we all have.

Its therefore imperative that we improve our skincare routine, especially at night. Sleeping with makeup and daily grime on our faces has a occlusive effect, meaning it forms a barrier over the skin. Oxygen is locked out, and in the absence of oxygen, bacteria breeds faster than proverbial rabbits. Irritants and pollutants, the two biggest driving forces behind free radical, are now also locked in. Dirt will also clog pores causing them to either enlarge or become inflamed.

Applying moisturiser becomes redundant as it will either sit on the dirt or slide off. Either way, you’ll wake up with a dry, tight skin lacking elasticity, which causes the formation of wrinkles. By leaving your makeup on overnight for one month, you’ve singlehanded contributed to dry flaky skin, blemishes, wrinkles, enlarged pores blackheads, whiteheads and wrinkles. You skin would have aged by at least 10 years.

A proper cleanse can eliminate all this skin damage in less time than it takes to boil an egg. The bt-sonic is fun to use and gives a professional quality cleanse in under two minutes, leaving a radiantly smooth palette for flawless makeup application. No surprise it won the 2017 Aestheticians Best Electric Brush Award.

We were so impressed with the efficacy of this brush, we’ve introduced it as a standard cleansing tool during all our facial treatments. Given that it is ideally suited for professional and home use, the bt-sonic also available for purchase from our salon. Ask our therapists for one and fall in love with your reflection in the mirror, morning and night.
