    Take The Time Today to Rejuvenate Your Skin with Ona Diamond Facial Brush!

    When you think about everything our skin comes into contact with every day – dirt, oil, makeup, smog, smoke, etc. – the notion that just rubbing it with our hands and a dab of face wash to get it clean almost seems silly.

    This is where the TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush & Cleansing Station comes in – its rotating bristles work to cleanse and polish the surface of your skin, as well as remove debris from your pores to help to minimize their appearance. Thanks to its dual speeds and interchangeable brush heads, this waterproof face brush allows you to customize the skincare routine that works best for you.

    Each TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush comes with one hygienically sealed brush head – the Daily Care head for everyday cleansing. This brush head can be used with your favorite face cleanser to suit your skincare needs. Additionally, most skin types can use Super Clean Mode for everyday cleansing, while sensitive skin types can use the Sensitive Clean Mode for a gentle but thorough cleanse.

    But what really sets the TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush apart from its competitors? It’s the TAO Clean Base Station – a unique charging base for your brush handle that won’t take up a lot of space on your vanity, it also cleans and dries your brush head! Once you dock your damp brush after cleansing your face, the 360 degree TAO Clean Halo uses powerful UV-C rays to kill 99.9% of bacteria, and then the built-in dryer keeps your electric face brush dry and mildew-free.

    After all, what’s the point of using a brush to cleanse your face if you’re not going to keep the brush itself clean? TAO Clean philosophy is clean and simple– literally. TAO Clean creates technological devices that live up to high cleanliness standards to naturally integrate into your daily routine in a seamless way. TAO Clean firmly believes that every object they create must deliver a wonderful user experience from start to finish.

    Say hello to your new best friend. TAO Clean didn’t invent the facial brush. They re-invented it. TAO Clean knows you’re busy, so you won’t have to worry about washing your face correctly—their brush will do it for you.

    The Ona Diamond Facial Brush is unlike any other facial cleansing brush on the market. It gently exfoliates dead skin cells and dirt and oil away, removes makeup, and deep cleans your skin, and TAO Clean patented Germ Shield sanitizing base kills 99.9% of germs, helping keep your skin looking young, healthy, and blemish-free!

    Witch Hazel

    As a natural astringent, witch hazel can help to control acne by decreasing redness and oil secretion. It can also lessen bacteria growth on the skin, balance the skin’s pH level, and act as a skin conditioning agent to reduce the appearance of pores.

    Glycerin is a plant-derived compound that holds moisture in your skin and gives it a youthful, healthy glow. By drawing moisture to the top layer of skin, glycerine helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and keeps skin looking soft and smooth.

    Upgrade Your Daily Skincare Routine with The TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush and Cleansing Station

    Summer sun, heat and dryness and can be harsh on the skin so it’s important for everyone to practice a good skincare regime.  And wet washcloths or facial brushes left out on the bathroom counter or in the shower often harbor bacteria and germs like E Coli, Staph bacteria, and fecal matter – and nobody wants to put those on their face. This is where TAO Clean comes in.

    TAO Clean has recently introduced the ONO Diamond – an updated line of self-cleaning sonic facial brushes which use UV light to kill any bacteria or germs (including Coronavirus and Influenza) between uses. I hope that it will be a good fit for any upcoming stories you may be working on regarding skincare, new personal care tech, self-care, etc..

    The TAO Clean ONA Diamond Orbital Facial Brush comfortably cleanses and gently exfoliates using powerful rotational technology more capable than manual washing. Its spinning motion, combined with the silky soft bristles thoroughly sweep through pores to safely dislodge dirt, dead skin cells and make-up residues.

    The TAO Clean Base Station keeps the brush head protected, clean and away from environmental contaminants and also dries the brush head while charging – allowing the brush ready for use when you are. Other cleansing brushes stay wet and grow bacteria that then gets transferred to your face. The dock’s built in 360 degree Halo Lamp kills 99.9% of germs and pathogens with UV-C light, making each brush head last longer. (Different brush heads are available for purchase).
