| Beauty meets tech: Get a self-cleaning skincare brush on sale Posted: 13 Oct 2018 02:00 AM PDT  You always forget to wash your face, don't you? Cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing your face after a grueling day may *sound* like a good idea, but you always forget — or are too tired — to do so. We're going to level with you: It's really important to wash your face. Not only can it remove impurities and give you a healthy, youthful glow, but your skin is also your body's largest organ. Why treat it any differently than, say, your heart or kidneys? It's time to develop your skincare routine, with an assist from technology. The TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush System might be just the thing to get you started. Plus, just look at it: Image: Tao CleanDoesn't it kind of look like a spaceship? Thanks in part to its soft bristles and powerful rotation technology, this brush can reportedly clean deep in your pores, removing dirt, makeup, and other debris. Simply apply your cleanser onto your face, turn on your brush, and let 'er rip. This brush is apparently so powerful that TAO claims it's more effective than manually washing your face. But a clean face is only one piece of the puzzle. The base doubles as a cleaning system that dries your brush when idle. Wet brushes are susceptible to unwanted bacteria, which would ultimately end up on your face and defeat the whole purpose. However, this cleaning station promises to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria, leaving you with a clean, dry brush every time. Oh yeah and it's also on sale. Normally, the TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush System costs a staggering $129, but for the next few days, you can get it for $70. Honestly, this product is so cool — and surprisingly affordable — that it might even make you *want* to wash your face. Image: TAO Clean TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush System — $69.99 See Details
