Accessories

Facial tools: brushes, massage and shaving accessories

Facial tools are accessories that complement your daily face care and make it more convenient. Here you will find face cleansing brushes and brush heads, facial massage tools, face and eye cups and razor blades, as well as a soft headband for use during make-up.

The range suits those who want to complement their routine with one extra tool, and those who enjoy a care routine where every step feels a little nicer. Tools do not replace a cream or a serum; they help these do their work better.

How to choose facial tools

Choose a tool by which step of your routine you want to support.

• Cleansing brushes and heads: help cleanse the skin more thoroughly than hands alone; choose a gentle head for sensitive skin.
• Massage and exfoliating tools: cups and dermarollers are made to be used together with your face care.
• Razor blades: Gillette replacement blades fit the matching razor model.
• Headband: keeps hair away from the face during cleansing, masks and make-up.

Popular brands

The tools include products from Clinique, Shiseido and Gillette, as well as iSmile’s own cups for face and eye-area care.

Face cleansing with a brush and a head

Cleansing is the first step of the whole face care routine, and cleansing with a brush gives it a slightly more thorough feel. The head is the replaceable part of the brush, which you can swap for a new one after use. For the Clinique Sonic System brush there is the Acne Solutions head, which suits those who use the system together with a suitable cleanser. After cleansing continue with our selection of face cleansing and facial masks, so that the care gets a nice continuation.

Cups for face and eye-area care

The iSmile face and eye cups are made for the prevention and smoothing of wrinkles and for use together with your face care. They are small, convenient and belong to an evening routine: apply a cream or serum to the skin, take a cup in hand and give the skin a few minutes of attention. For the eye area see eye creams, which suit use with the cups.

Razor blades and replacement blades

Shaving is part of many men’s morning routine, and the right blade makes it smoother. Gillette replacement blades fit the matching razor model, so check which razor you use before choosing. For the Mach3 razor there are Mach3 replacement blades, 2 pcs and a bigger 8-piece pack. For the Fusion razor the Fusion replacement blades, 6 pcs fit, as do the Fusion 5 blades in a 4-piece pack. You will find more men’s products in the men’s grooming category.

Facial tools as part of a routine

• Morning: wash your face, apply serum and cream; when shaving, use clean blades.
• Evening: remove makeup, use a brush if needed and give the eye area attention with the cups.
• Once a week: have a mask or exfoliation day and use a headband so hair does not get in the way.
• After use: rinse the tools with water and let them dry.

Facial tools and exfoliation

Exfoliating with tools is a good way to bring variety to your care. If you prefer a gentle approach, see face exfoliators, which can be used before a mask or cream. Smooth skin is also a good base for shaving.

Care becomes more convenient

The purpose of tools is to make care simpler. When you have a brush, cups and clean blades at hand, the routine is quicker and more pleasant. Remember that small tools do not need much space: they fit in one basket on a bathroom shelf. A small basket like this is like a personal care studio where everything you need is within reach.

As a gift

The face and eye cups are a lovely and practical gift that suits anyone who enjoys care at home. For men who shave in the morning, replacement blades are a suitable small surprise that will certainly be used up. Give a tool together with a cream or serum, and you have a complete care ritual.

Facial massage at home: a simple ritual

Facial massage is one of those treatments that is easy to do at home and suits any age. Apply a cream or serum that lets your fingers or the cups glide smoothly, and move with light motions from the centre of the face outward and from the bottom upward. A couple of minutes of massage after cleansing and before the night cream is a small ritual that ends the day calmly.

Tools in your personal care corner

When tools are at hand, you use them more often. That is why it is worth setting up a small care corner in the bathroom: the brush head in one place, the cups in another and the spare blades in a third, so that everything is in sight. Once a week devote a longer time to care, for example on a Saturday evening: cleansing, mask, massage and cream. A ritual like this gives the skin care and you a rest.

Seasons and tools

In winter, when skin needs more moisture, caring with tools is especially pleasant, because the ritual takes time and the creams are richer. In summer you use tools more simply: a quick cleanse with a brush after a long day and cups that fit easily in a bag for a holiday trip. In spring and autumn, when the care routine often renews itself, it is a good time to try a new tool.

Tools and gift sets

If you are looking for a gift that offers more than one product, see also gift sets. A tool together with a cream, serum or mask is a good idea for an anniversary, a birthday or simply to show you are thinking of someone.
