SILICONE WASHERS WITH SHORT, SMALL BRISTLES THAT ENTER INSIDE THE PORES
WHAT IT'S MADE OF: Colored silicone. It's not e lectronic. It's waterproof, durable , and cheap . ADVANTAGES: The advantage of these manual washers is the precision with which they clean the pores of the skin. Although they cannot be used alone , you should always use a make - up remover , e.g. milk or gel , and only after applying the cosmetic to the washcloth , massage the previously dampened skin . Daily make-up removal or washing the skin with this brush is a simultaneous massage , it will strengthen the skin and thicken it , which will help hide blood vessels . It has a peeling effect . DISADVANTAGES: The brush is not suitable for skin with acne lesions , because it could irritate the skin and spread bacteria all over the face . The brush will not work for sensitive skin . Even normal skin can become tender and irritated after a few days of use , to the point that using the washcloth becomes impossible . To maintain hygiene rules , it would be a good idea to wash it with disinfectant before next use .

POD
WHAT IT'S MADE OF : A cocoon is really a cocoon, there 's no metaphor here ;) It consists of amino acids : fibroin and sericin . Fibroin strongly moisturizes the skin and smoothes it , it is also an ingredient in many moisturizing face and neck masks . Sericin is referred to as liquid silk . In the cocoon, it acts as a glue for the silk threads that wrap around the caterpillar , which is supposed to transform into a moth . It is used as a smoothing ingredient in creams , masks and hair cosmetics . ADVANTAGES: Suitable for use by people with very sensitive and irritation- prone skin . Cocoons moisturize , smooth , gently exfoliate and leave a pleasant , non-greasy film on the skin , so you don't have to use a night cream after them . They are natural and do not contain additional chemicals. Thanks to the ingredients they are made of , they accelerate skin regeneration and fight acne discoloration . DISADVANTAGES: No kidding – this is not a solution for vegans . Silkworms are moths , and cocoons are built by caterpillars in order to pupate . So it is eco - friendly care , but not entirely cruelty- free ! Another disadvantage may be the price, one cocoon costs from a few dozen groszy to a złoty . In theory, it can be used several times , but in practice we advise against it, just like washing your face with the same cotton pad . Before use , the cocoon must be soaked in warm water for about 10 minutes, so it is not an express option . And one last thing – the cocoon is not for removing make-up ! Before using it as a face wash , you have to wash off your make-up , moisten your face with the water in which the cocoon was soaked , put it on your finger and massage your face , rinse it again with the water used for soaking and only now are you ready . So it's a kind of extra wash , perhaps more of a beauty ritual than something you have the time and strength to do every day .
