The Clearasonic vibrating face brush gadget is a wonderful and efficient tool to get a deep clean of the skin (I might do a full review of it later).
My love for Dr Bronner’ 18-in-1 Organic Pure Castile Liquid Soap with Peppermint should be obvious from how often I use it as a preshave soap.
The two combined makes for a rather intense experience… not painful per see, but my face still tingles an hour after the incident.
