Hello my loves!
I'm back with a new blog post to show you how much I'm loving Clarisonic Mia 2 cleansing brush and their Sonic Foundation Brush!
*I received these products complimentary for testing purposes, but all opinions are my own*
If you've read my previous blog post on the Clarisonic Mia, then you already know how much I love this facial cleansing system! I first tried out the Clarisonic Mia 5 years ago when I worked at Macys! It was such a great purchase for me and I loved how it inspired me to be more concerned with my skin care regimen.
I have to be honest and say that I wasn't as consistent with it as I should have been. Eventually, the battery died out after not charging it when needed and I had to let it go. I'm so excited and grateful that I was given the chance to try out the Mia 2!

Let me first start off by telling you what comes in the Mia 2 box and the great features that it has. This bad boy comes in four different colors and get this.. You can get it personally engraved for free when you order through the official Clarisonic site!
This Mia 2 comes with the facial cleansing brush system, a Radiance Brush head, 1oz product sample of their Gel Cleanser, and Universal Voltage USB charger. The system features 2 different cleansing speeds; universal and delicate. Delicate is the perfect setting if you have sensitive skin (which I do), but I also find the universal speed to just as gentle on the skin! I love to use the delicate setting when I'm in between harsher skin treatments as not irritate my skin.
This works well with all skin types and you can also use it to remove your makeup as well. What I love even more about the Mia 2, is that it comes with a 1 minute timed session, with intervals, to make sure you're cleansing your face well and dedicating time to each section of your face.

Radiance Brush Head |
The radiance brush head is so great because I feel like it instantly makes my skin look/feel a lot better. Especially after those long days of wearing a full face of makeup and my skin just needs to *breathe*. This brush head is good for washing away those impurities and giving you a more radiant and even complexion.
I instantly fell in love with the system all over again when using this. The brush heads are also easy to connect with your Mia 2, as you attach it and hold down the power button for a few seconds until the Mia 2 "reads" it. What's great is that it will also let you know when it is time to change your brush head. We don't want anymore breakouts, now do we ;)?
The Radiance brush head is gentle on the skin and fits all Mia cleansing brush systems. With consistent use, it will provide you with smoother, more radiant and healthier looking skin. We sometimes don't spend enough time washing our face by hand, but this system helps you to take more time to fully wash your face and you don't even notice that you've done it for a full minute!
You can easily wash this brush after your cleansing, but make sure to do a deep cleanse every week! All you have to do is detach the brush head, and remove the inner brush head for that deep cleanse with soap. You can let it dry on your towel and even after washing your face, put the brush on a towel and let it "spin" for the full minute for a quicker drying process. Did I also tell you that this comes with a protective head case?!
Now you're probably asking, so how do I use this? First start off by wetting the brush and applying your favorite cleanser. I also like to wet my face a bit too to help the cleanser even more when I'm using it. Since it is designed to be timed and it has the intervals, you should have no problem cleansing your whole face without worries.
You should start with your T-zone, then move on to each cheek. *Remember, it will let you know when it's time to switch* For the last few seconds, you want to do your cheeks again, this time in a different direction. When you are cleansing your face, do it in circular motions for the best results! It's super gentle on the skin so you shouldn't feel any tugging of the skin.
I personally like to take the first few seconds to get the cleanser all over my face and then do each section of the face. I find this is easier so you can get an even distribution of your cleanser all over. That is the one of the only downsides of having to apply the cleanser directly onto the brush head. I find that if I do each section before distributing the product then I won't get all the cleanser fully on my face. After that, rinse your face off and the brush head!
Also, when you first get the Mia 2, you have to fully charge it for prolonged use. It will take a good couple of hours, so make sure you do this unless you want to continuously charge it. The Mia 2 will also let you know when it's fully charged and when you have to charge it again! That's something I really love about this product.
I now feel as though my skin looks and feels better. I can tell the difference in my skin when I'm not using it everyday. It also helps to make my skin care products soak up fully afterward. Have you tried any Clarisonic cleansing systems? Let me know in the comments down below!
