Why I Switched to TOUCHBeauty’s Glow After Years of Manual Extraction

I. Introduction: The Extraction Obsession

For years, I lived by one skincare rule: “If it looks clogged, extract it.” My bathroom drawer was a graveyard of comedone extractors, acne needles, and pore strips. I had become my esthetician — and not a very gentle one.

Every Sunday evening, I’d stand in front of the mirror, steam my face, and begin the ritual: squeeze, scrape, press, wipe. It was oddly satisfying… until the morning after, when I’d wake up with red marks, irritation, and inflamed skin that sometimes took days to settle.

But I couldn’t stop. I believed that manual extraction was the only way to deal with blackheads, clogged pores, and dull skin. Serums and scrubs just didn’t seem to work. It was either full-on pressure… or nothing.

That is, until I discovered a completely different approach — one that didn't involve pain, scarring, or trauma to my skin.

This is the story of how I switched to TOUCHBeauty’s Glow Ultrasonic Scrub Device, and why I’ll never go back.

II. The Turning Point: When Manual Extraction Failed Me

My extraction habits peaked during lockdown. With spas closed, I took matters into my own hands — literally. But what started as skincare became something more destructive.

I burst capillaries on my cheeks.
I caused post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
And ironically, my pores looked larger, not cleaner.

A dermatologist finally told me:

“You’re treating your face like it’s a battlefield. Extraction without proper training will only make things worse.”

So I started researching alternatives. Not creams. Not acids. I needed a tool that worked, but one that treated my skin with respect.

That’s when I stumbled on ultrasonic skin scrubbers. And among them, TOUCHBeauty Glow kept showing up.

III. Discovering TOUCHBeauty: A Brand That Gets It

Before diving into the device itself, I want to talk about why I chose TOUCHBeauty — and not just any Amazon ultrasonic scraper.

At first glance, it’s just a beauty gadget brand, right? But a little digging revealed something more intentional.

Founded in 1999, TOUCHBeauty is more than a trendy tool company. It’s a global brand rooted in design, innovation, and skin science. What stood out to me:

They hold over 300 patents worldwide, many for original skincare technologies.
Collaborations with skin professionals and engineers back their R&D.
Their philosophy blends science and simplicity — advanced beauty tools that are intuitive, non-invasive, and elegant.

There’s a kind of quiet confidence in TOUCHBeauty’s design — like they trust their product to speak for itself. And honestly, that was refreshing in a world of bold claims and hype.

So I decided to try the Glow device.

IV. My First Week With TOUCHBeauty Glow

Unboxing the Glow

The Glow device arrived in sleek, minimalist packaging. No unnecessary frills — just:

The device
Charging cable
Instruction manual
Protective cap for the spatula head

The device felt light but premium, and fit easily into my hand. The scraper head is shaped at just the right 30° angle, exactly as dermatologists recommend.

Using It — Not What I Expected (In a Good Way)

I started with clean, damp skin. The Glow has two modes:

Cleansing Mode – For lifting out impurities using ultrasonic vibration
Moisturizing Mode – To help skincare absorb better

On cleansing mode, the device produced 24,000Hz ultrasonic waves that I couldn’t see or hear — but I could feel it working as I gently slid it along my T-zone.

No redness.
No pain.
Just… a surprising amount of gunk coming off my skin.

I realized I had dead skin cells, oil residue, and dirt I hadn’t even known were still there. Unlike manual extraction, it didn’t leave my skin angry. It felt smoother and more refined.

By Day 5…

My pores looked less congested.
My serum sank in rather than sitting on top.
My skin felt bouncier — like it could finally breathe.

It wasn’t a miracle in one use, but it was gentle, consistent progress, without the trauma of squeezing.

V. The Science Behind Ultrasonic Skincare

If you’re skeptical (I was too), let’s break down why this works.

Ultrasonic skin scrubbers like the Glow use high-frequency vibrations (in this case, 24kHz) to:

Loosen and push out dirt, oil, and dead skin
Gently exfoliate without abrasion
Stimulate blood circulation and skin metabolism
Enhance the penetration of serums/moisturizers

Unlike physical scrubs or acids, ultrasonic devices don’t disrupt your moisture barrier. They respect your skin’s rhythm, which is exactly what mine needed.

VI. The Emotional Shift: Skincare as Self-Respect

Something unexpected happened after I started using the Glow: my relationship with skincare changed.

I stopped viewing extraction as punishment or repair. Instead, I began seeing it as maintenance — like watering a plant, not digging out weeds.

TOUCHBeauty Glow gave me control, without force. It taught me that effective skincare doesn't have to hurt. That clean skin doesn’t need to come at the cost of your barrier.

It also became a small daily ritual. One that made me feel like I was investing in my skin, not battling it.

VII. Why I’m Never Going Back to Manual Extraction

Let’s be honest — manual extraction gives instant gratification. But it also gives:

Redness
Broken capillaries
Long-term damage
Skin that’s always in “repair mode”

TOUCHBeauty Glow gives me results without risk. It’s:

✅ Gentle
✅ Portable
✅ Easy to clean
✅ Affordable
✅ Backed by a brand I trust

Plus, it works with my skincare routine, not against it.

VIII. A Tool That Changed My Routine — And My Skin

If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of extraction — where the only way out of congestion is more squeezing — let me tell you: There is a better way.

Switching to TOUCHBeauty Glow was one of the best skincare decisions I’ve made. It didn’t just clean my skin — it reset my mindset.

No more poking, no more panic, no more post-extraction regrets. Just calm, smooth, radiant skin.
