This week's Beauty Wednesday is a little special because I'm not talking about a beauty product. I'm talking a beauty tool: The Luce facial cleansing device.

I've used one cleansing device before this one, and to be totally honest, I wasn't a HUGE fan. I mean, it was OK, but not necessarily worth the price (more on that below).

So I wouldn't necessarily have gone out of my way to get a new one. But when I'm not blogging or modelling, I sometimes get photography contracts for brands in the fashion, beauty and wellness industry. Luce is one of the brands that wanted to send me their product so I can take pictures of it and review it if I liked it... You know, two birds one stone?

Turns out, I actually loved it. There are a few reasons why I wasn't such a fan of the device I had before (see below) and the Luce facial cleansing device solves all of those little issues.

I've talked about it briefly on Instagram, and I got lots of questions, so I figured it was worth it to do a full blog post on it.

First, let's compare it to the other device I used. I'm not gonna name names, but all you need to know is that it was the kind with the bristles that kind of look like a toothbrush. Clarisonic has one, Clinique has one... And there are countless knockoffs on Amazon too. Let's call it the cleansing brush. For this comparison, I'll focus on the ones by Clinique and Clarisonic, because they're in the same range, as opposed to drugstore equivalents.

THE FACIAL CLEANSING BRUSH:

Price: From 90$ to 200$+ for the device + around 27$ for replacement heads.

Head replacement frequency: Suggested every 3 months.

Head material: Similar to a soft toothbrush.

Pros: Exfoliates and cleans, makes the cleanser foam really well.

Cons: If used for makeup removal, brush tends to get dirty quickly. A little too harsh to use for double-cleansing.

THE LUCE FACIAL CLEANSING DEVICE:

Price: 110$

Head replacement frequency: Never.

Head material: Soft medical-grade silicone.

Pros: Really gentle on the skin. 2 different kinds of heads for different intensity level. Gentle enough for double cleansing.

Cons: Doesn't make facial cleanser foam as much as the brush heads.
