Clarisonic Mia: Review

'You have such nice skin!' is something that I often hear from friends and strangers alike. It took me a while to be able to agree with them because you know us, those of the 'we are our own harsh critics' tribe....we can point out every flaw and every mark and everything that we wish we could change.

My skin issues are these:

I have combination skin with an oily T-zone. I have a few enlarged pores on my cheeks. I have slight discoloration/hyper-pigmentation around the mouth and I disliked the texture of my skin ESPECIALLY my forehead. I'd research for hours the best facial cleanser, day moisturizer, night cream etc in an effort to improve the way my skin looked...and yet nothing really seemed to make a major difference.

I eat well. Drink lots of water. I exercise and take my vitamins and yet.....bleh

Until i came across blogs and you-tube videos and heard testimonials from friends about the Clari-sonic. I googled and you-tubed and read everything i could on it but could not get past the price. $189.00 for a FACE BRUSH???!!??? I even considered the knock off from Sigma...heavily leaning towards it because it was a fraction of the cost and came with 3 brushes instead of one. 

And then i went to visit the boy. Walked into Sephora. And that was that!

I was able to get all pictured above (including the charging dock) for $119. Can you say BARGAIN??

And then I used it....and fell in love. Seriously. This is THE best investment I've ever made with regards to my facial cleansing routine. As usual I won't go into specifics and give you the pros and cons that other bloggers would but i will tell you what this tool has done for my skin:

1. It deep cleans your face. Seriously! My skin feels so CLEAN after every use that I don't even want to put product on it. It feels all soft and smooth and tingly...

2. My pores....are almost invisible! I mean I'll always be able t point them out to you because it's MY face but if I'm honest...they really aren't that visible anymore.

3. The discoloration around my mouth? Almost gone! I mean that was the cincher for me. My face almost looks like one even complexion and I love that.

4. The texture of my skin has improved remarkably. No more tiny bumps or that 'leathery' (over exaggerating but you know what i mean) look that I hate.

5. My foundation applies like a dream!

6. You can use it with any cleanser. I'm currently using clinique

7. I even use it to ex-foliate my lips!


and best of all?? My first day back at the office after my mini vacation 'Wow, your face looks SO good' How's THAT for a reference?

Do your research guys! I guarantee that this will simplify your skin care routine and give you amazing skin. Let me know if you decide to get it :)
