I’m not one to go crazy when it comes to beauty products. I don’t necessarily run out and buy the “latest and greatest” products. I tend to stick with what I know works for me and my skin. However every not and then there is a product that comes along that looks interesting enough to try.
I recently saw Olay Pro X Advanced facial cleaner that really looked interesting to me. The Pro X is a hand held device that helps to scrub and buff your face clean.
The Pro X Advanced facial cleaner features a small rotating brush which you use to gently scrub your face clean. I have to admit that initially I was a bit reluctant to try it. I have sensitive skin and I worried that the bristles on the brush might aggravate my skin and instead of having fresh, clean skin I would have red, blotchy and sore skin.
Thankfully the Pro X Advance has two different speed levels. I started on the lowest setting and eventually moved up to the higher setting. There really isn’t much difference between the two.
To use the Pro X Advance you need to squirt a little bit of a cleanser on your skin or directly on the Pro X Advance tool. I put a little on the Pro X rather them my face. Next you turn the device on and set the speed. Then gently run the Pro X Advance all over your face, making sure not to miss the problem areas (T-zone).
After you have cleansed your face with the Pro X Advance simply rinse off the cleanser and then follow up with your favorite moisturizer or beauty product.
I use the Pro X Advance in the shower. Thankfully it’s waterproof. After I use it to wash my face I simply rinse my face clean under the water stream.
Make sure to rinse your Pro X Advance brush off very well and let it air dry so that it will be ready to go the next time you need it.
You can use the Pro X Advance as often as you like. You should at least use it a few times a week. I use mine once a day. I like to use it at night before going to bed.
I really like how my face feels after I use the Pro X Advance. It feels REALLY clean. I prefer how my skin feels after I use the Pro X Advance compared to my other cleansing routine. Now that I’ve used the Pro X I’m totally hooked on it and I can’t imagine not using it at least once a day to clean and exfoliate my skin.
The bristles on the brush do not aggravate my skin. However be careful of the rotating head around your hair. You hair can get caught up int it (I had that happen to me). It’s best to make sure you hair is pulled back to avoid that from happening.
I have never had a facial before so I’m not sure what they really feel like. The way my skin feels after I use the Pro X Advance from Olay makes me think that is what a facial must feel like.
I’m going to get two more units for my kids. Both of them suffer from acne. I’m hoping the Olay Pro X helps them to better clean their skin in hopes they will have fewer pimples.
The kit comes with a sample size cleanser/exfoliate, but you can use your own cleanser if you wish. Olay does sell cleansers made to go along with the Pro X Advance.
The kits are available at many retail locations. The list price is around $29.99 but you can find it for the low $20’s.

I’m glad you like the way your face feels after you use it, (and that you are tying your hair back- ouch!)

I would also have been worried about it being too rough on my skin. But I wonder if it’s actually any better than just using a washcloth and rubbing that around in circles on my face. Seems like that would be about the same thing?
