46: How to actually use a microcurrent tool | skin care specialist Pooja Johari, M.S.

“Microcurrent is a very tiny electrical current that mimics your body’s own natural pulses. What that means is our brains use currents to communicate through our neurological pathways, where it’s constantly sending signals. What we're doing with this technology is mimicking those currents and delivering them to our facial muscles,” says biomedical engineer and holistic skin care expert Pooja Johari, M.S., founder of E7 Wellness, noting that this stimulates our muscles to act younger. “The thing is, the facial muscles can’t tell whether the signal is coming from the brain or this device.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, host and mindbodygreen beauty director Alexandra Engler joins Johari on a deep dive into microcurrent technology—including red flags, what it actually feels like, and what to look for in skin care products.
