Clarisonic Plus

My first official product post is dedicated to the wonderful piece of machinery that inspired me to start this blog.

EVERY GIRL SHOULD HAVE... a Clarisonic.


I have a pink Clarisonic plus (Sephora, $225 with kit) and LOVE it to death. I would be lost without it (and probably look years older than I really am). I have it set on the most gentle setting and use it with the sensitive skin brush.

My old skin care regiment involved using a scrub or exfoliator wash and visiting my facialist for an hour once a week. I later changed my facial appointments to once every two weeks when I discovered Aveda's Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Cleanser (5 fl oz/150 ml $29.00) . It's not a bad product for those that cannot afford a Clarisonic. Because you only need a little at a time, one tube will last you a few months. PROS: Gentle enough for daily use and minimizes black heads. CONS: Must use a separate facial wash prior to exfoliating (to completely remove make up) and does not help with pore size.

The Clarisonic deep cleans and exfoliates all in one. In ONE minute a day! And the best part? It minimizes pores! I use mine in the shower each night to ensure proper removal of my makeup and a day's worth of stress. I love how soft my skin is now and I haven't been to my facialist in MONTHS! I no longer break out, I can see and feel the cleanliness of my skin, and my pores really do seem tighter. Plus, the Clarisonic is easy to operate, the battery lasts for over two weeks (I don't charge mine every day like what the instructions say to do), and I like that it's pink.

Beauty AND brains. That's a WIN in my book.
