Face massages every morning? Yes, please.

If you've spent any amount of time scrolling through beauty content on social media, you're aware that facial cleansing brushes are a great way to up the ante on your skincare routine. But, they don't just look cute on your "For You" page.

There are a variety of facial cleansing brushes you can get, from high-tech silicone electric ones to affordable, manual ones, but the exfoliation benefits are plentiful either way. Dermatologist Brendan Camp, MD, says that while, of course, you can always use your hands, the more robust exfoliation you get from a brush can help improve the penetration of skincare products you use afterwards.

While Dr. Camp says it's good to exfoliate with a facial cleansing brush two to three times a week, reduce that to about once a week if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. The extra force from the brush, whether you're using an electric or manual one, can cause redness, swelling, and irritation. No matter your skin type, budget, or bathroom *aesthetic*, see the nine best dermatologist-recommended facial cleansing brushes, below.

Amazon's bestselling facial cleansing brush comes with seven different heads, all of which provide different levels of exfoliation and massage. It's also available in six cute colors, so be sure to get your phone tripod ready.

Rave Review: "I love all the brushes it comes with, so you can change them out. Overall, 10/10 recommend!"

While Luna's famous brush may make a small dent in your bank account, it's well worth the splurge. It uses low-frequency vibrations to gently exfoliate skin, leaving even the most sensitive or acne-prone skin baby soft. The high-tech brush even comes with an app through which you can schedule reminders and choose different vibration patterns.

Rave Review: "I’m seeing great results with my sensitive skin. My skin feels very clean after every use, and I never look red or irritated from it."

This device comes with an exfoliating brush, cleansing brush, and special attachment for dry or sensitive skin. That makes it a great option for anyone who's skin changes with the seasons. The storage base makes for easy access on your bathroom counter, too.

Rave Review: "I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin. This has plenty of power and does a GREAT job. So so so happy I bought this!!"

Made with gentle silicone and a soothing massage function, this waterproof cleansing brush is seriously going to upgrade shower time. It can be charged with any USB port, making it great for travel.

Rave Review: "This is the BEST cleansing device I've ever used! I'm 58, and I never knew my skin could be even better! This cleanses the skin at another level! It even makes my makeup look amazing because my skin is so smooth!"

This four-pack is super reasonably priced at $7, but that doesn't make these brushes low in quality. They're made with soft and flexible food-grade silicone and feature a handy (pun intended) grip that can easily be used all over the body.

Rave Review: "I have super sensitive skin but wanted to get a good, clean face at the end of the day. These are super soft. I feel more clean than when I just use a cleanser with my hands."

With four different pulsation levels and sloped edges, Finishing Touch's brush is a great tool for targeted cleansing and massage. The dual massage mode is specifically designed to bring blood flow to the surface of the skin, making it glow.

Rave Review: "I love this brush! The silicone bristles are soft, so they don't scratch or irritate my skin. I love the different settings that it comes with as well."

Yeah One's chic, palm-sized brush features a flexible head that'll easily bend to the contours of your face. It also comes with a convenient, Insta-worthy magnetic charging holder for your vanity.

Rave Review: "It looks good on the counter, is easy to use, has different modes, and feels great on my face...the silicone is also very gentle on your skin. It's small enough to carry when traveling."

Ah, the classic Clarisonic brush. Reviewers love that you can easily buy replacement heads for it when it starts to get dirty, making it a hygienic option that you'll keep around forever.

Rave Review: "I have tried other brushes but none of them have been as good! I noticed results within one use. I have sensitive, oily skin. After one use, my pores looked smaller and my skin was not as oily by the day's end."

Made with hypoallergenic silicone, PMD's brush was designed to lift, firm, and tone skin. One side cleanses the face with silicone bristles using 11 different pulsation modes, and the other (totally flat) side helps to gently massage your serums and moisturizers more deeply into your skin.

Rave Review: "Makes me want to wash my face multiple times a day! It’s the most relaxing part of my day and the vibrations even help to relieve my TMJ. My skin has never felt cleaner or looked clearer. I HIGHLY recommend giving this a try!!"
