I wrote a post a while ago about a cleanser, Eve Lom, that I love and use at least four times a week. I had mentioned that I also use something else to cleanse and the Clarisonic is it.
Clarisonic is a waterproof, rechargeable skin cleansing system. It is a patented sonic technology that gently removes the impurities traditional cleansing methods leave behind. It cleans pores, loosening dirt, makeup and oil as it reduces the appearance of pores and wrinkles. Clarisonic cleansing is proven to remove six times more makeup then traditional manual cleansing with finger pads, allowing for serums and moisturizers to absorb better. It is so gentle that it can be used twice a day.
To use the Clarisonic, charge for 24 hours prior to first use. Then remove your eye makeup. I skip this step as I just wet my face and use Purity Made Simple by Philosophy which I put all over my face and eyes (use with your favorite cleanser ) – DO NOT USE the Clarisonic on your eyes.
Wet the brush head, press on/off button and gently massage the face in small circular motions, beginning on the forehead and moving to the nose, chin and cheeks. Hold the brush head flush to your skin, but don’t press too hard or you will impede the motion of the brush and not get the full benefit of the Clarisonic. The Clarisonic will let you know when the cleansing minute is up. The brush head should be replaced every three to four months.
Rinse and pat dry and your skin is now ready for your favorite skincare products.
I purchased the Clarisonic Face and Body over five years ago and this uses a cradle to charge. It is about 7” long and came with sensitive, normal and body brush heads. I use the normal brush and when I need to replace, that is what I purchase. I have never used the Clarsonic on my body except for the decollete so I really can’t speak to how it works. This brush has low, normal and high power settings.
I love the way my face feels after I use the Clarisonic. It is clean without being stripped, feels very smooth and looks dewy. All good for this girl! As I mentioned before, I am 60 years old and I have no wrinkles and I really believe that the Clarisonic is part of the reason why. It is like having a facial at home everyday and that is not a bad thing for your face.
I loved it so much that last December I purchased another, Clarisonic Mia 2, which is a little under 6” inches long. It comes with a link charger, which saves room on the vanity, and a travel case. This brush has two speeds, low and normal.
I use the Clarisonic every morning in the shower and my makeup practically puts itself on as my skin is just so clean and smooth.
No matter what else you use on your skin, this is the starting place. I highly encourage you to give it a try and I know you will be hooked like so many other people.
Yes, it is an investment, but I am positive you will start saving money immediately as you will be using much less of your favorite skincare line to produce the results that you are looking for. Nothing works if your skin is not really clean.
Try it!
Peace
