What are negative ions?
Negative ions are naturally occurring particles that tend to congregate in areas where there’s lots of moving water (think waterfalls, beaches, and thunderstorms). They give the air that distinct, "fresh" feeling and have been proven to lighten our moods, combat depression, pull toxins from the environment, and increase our sense of well-being. They also boost the flow of oxygen to the brain and can reduce irritation caused by atmospheric contaminants like pollen and pollutants. Nion Beauty harnesses their power to purify the skin and boost blood circulation, helping you achieve a gorgeous, glowing complexion.
What are the benefits of using silicone-based skincare cleansing brushes?
With no phthalates and a low extractable content, silicone is safer than plastics, doesn’t react with other materials, and is both incredibly durable and soft. Our brushes are also made with antibacterial silicone, meaning the brush won’t hold any leftover bacteria from your skin or your bathroom environment, unlike bristle facial brushes. Silicone beauty products will stand the test of time, delivering beautiful, glowing skin whether you leave them out in the sun, drop them in the bath, or rest them on the towel rail.
What is the shelf life of Nion brushes?
Nion brushes (other than the Express) have a continuous running lifetime of at least 250 hours. Assuming you use your device every day for four minutes, that’s around 10 years of use. Each Express brush contains enough battery power for up to a month of cleansing.
What cleansers can I use with my Nion brush?
We suggest using a gel or cream cleanser with your Nion brush. Cleansing with an exfoliating cleanser will be too harsh on your skin.
I just got my Nion brush and I can’t get it to turn on.
The safety feature for the Luxe, Elite, and Body requires you to hold down the power button for 1.5 seconds in order to turn the device on. This prevents accidental activations during shipping as boxes sometimes get knocked around during transit.
How strong are the negative ion properties of Nion products?
All of our brushes feature a 45-degree angle at the tip of the bristle. This sloping design is the best for delivering kinetic energy to small pores and glides smoothly over the skin with no friction.
What is the shelf life of Nion silicone brushes?
While the silicone won’t wear, and S-Ion Technology® ensures negative ion generation for up to two decades, the motors in the skin care devices don’t last forever. They have a continuous running lifetime of at least 250 hours. Assuming you use your device every day for four minutes, that’s around 10 years of use.
