YOU THINK. WHETHER YOU’RE INTO GADGETS, LOTIONS AND POTIONS, OR FOLLOWING NATURE’S
LEAD, YOU’LL FIND SOMETHING HERE THAT MIGHT JUST FLOAT YOUR SKINCARE BOAT – ALL OF
WHICH CAN BE USED ON OILY, DRY, OR AGEING SKIN. BY POLLY HUMPHRIS

MAGNITONE FULL MONTY VIBRA-SONIC
DAILY CLEANSING BRUSH
£130, www.magnitone.co.uk
Ever heard of the term ‘skin gym’? Word on the street is that our
faces can benefit just as much from a good workout as our
bodies: manual cleansing is out, and vibra-sonic technology –
a combination of pulse vibrations and sonic oscillations that
wobbles deep dirt out of pores, tones skin, and boosts
microcirculation for a youthful glow – is in.
Step up the all-singing, all-dancing Magnitone Full Monty Vibra-
Sonic Daily Cl eansing Brush – an incredibly easy to use piece
of skin kit with five very easy to understand settings: daily cleanse;
sensitive; pulse-lift toning; body exfoliate; and pedi-buff. The
first three are for your face and the last two are for your body
and feet respectively; the Full Monty isn’t a one-trick pony and
can actually be used to smooth and de-rough from head to toe.
Justifying its £130 price tag (which only works out at 35p a day
over a year), a lot of thought has gone into this little turquoise
machine. It’s wireless, so it’s fully portable, and one charge lasts
about two weeks; its sealed, rubber finish means it’s 100 per cent
waterproof, so you can use it in the shower; it’s light, but feels
as solid as a quality gadget should; and it works – your skin will
feel cleaner, softer and smoother in no time.
