How to Use an Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber (A 4-Mode Guide)
Published 1/9/2026

Congratulations on adding one of the most effective deep-cleaning tools to your skincare arsenal! An ultrasonic skin scrubber (or skin spatula) can deliver incredible results, but only if used correctly. This guide will walk you through the process, step-by-step.
The Most Important Rule: Always Use on Wet Skin!
Never use an ultrasonic scrubber on dry skin. The device relies on the ultrasonic waves interacting with water to work its magic. Keep your face wet throughout the entire process by using water, a facial mist, or a hydrating toner.
Step 1: The Deep Cleanse (Cleansing Mode)
This is the primary mode for exfoliating and extracting impurities.
- Prep: Start with a cleansed, wet face.
- Technique: Hold the device with the spatula tip angled down at about 45 degrees. Apply gentle pressure and glide the tip outwards and upwards across your skin. You'll see water and debris misting from the tip—that's how you know it's working!
- Focus: Pay extra attention to congested areas like the nose, chin, and forehead.
Step 2: The Infusion (Moisturizing / Ion- Mode)
This mode uses negative ions to dramatically increase the absorption of your skincare products.
- Prep: Apply your favorite serum or moisturizer to your face.
- Technique: Flip the device over so the flat part of the spatula is against your skin. Gently glide the spatula in an upward and outward motion, "patting" the product deeper into your skin.
Step 3: The Lift (Lifting / EMS Mode)
This mode uses gentle EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) microcurrents to help firm and lift the skin.
- Prep: Apply a conductive gel or a thick serum to allow the current to flow.
- Technique: Use the flat side of the spatula and glide it upwards along the contours of your face—along the jawline, up the cheeks, and on the forehead.
Pro Tips for the Best Results
- Frequency: Use the Cleansing mode 1-3 times per week, depending on your skin's sensitivity. The Infusion and Lifting modes can be used daily.
- Cleaning: Always wipe the metal spatula clean with an alcohol wipe after each use.
