A few months ago, I had the pleasure of purchasing myself a Clarisonic Mia from Macy's. Being that I'm an employee of Macy's, I used this opportunity to purchase a Clarisonic with extra discount. (When you work at Macy's, you get an extra 20% back of house discount on every purchase.) They were having a pre-sale and I would be getting up to 30% off back of house I believe. The Clarisonic when from being over $100, to being about $80 or so after my employee discount. Since I heard great reviews, I figured this would be the best time to make my purchase. I got the Clarisonic Mia in lavender.
The Clarisonic is a good product because it cleans your skin, better than your hands, and it's very gentle. When washing your face with your hands, there is a lot of pulling and stretching of the skin. However with the Clarisonic, it gently massages your face. Having more than 300 movements per second. Not properly washing your face can lead to your makeup, dirt, and oil destroying your skin. They cause blackheads, blemishes, and dullness. Your pores get clogged, and your face just doesn't feel right. The Clarisonic has the power to get rid of any extra makeup, dirt, or oil. It cleanses your face perfectly so when you apply your daily moisturizers, creams, and serums they absorb better and work even better on your face. You would think that since it moves very fast it would be hard on your skin, but no! It's very gently and effective.
When using a Clarisonic, everyone is different. How I use mine is that I first start off with removing my makeup. Nothing is worse than trying to clean your skin with makeup, dirt, and oil still on it. After that, I like to take my Clarisonic and wet it a little bit. Then I would put my favorite facial was, mine being one from Neutrogena, and put some of it on the head brush. You just turn it on after than and beginning rubbing it on your face in circular motions. The Clarisonic is set to be on for just 1 minute. 1 minute?! I know right, that sounds crazy for washing your face but trust me when I say it's all that you need. I believe the paper that came with it say you should spend 20 seconds on your cheeks and 10 seconds on both your forehead and chin. Well it's something like that, but I just spend more time on parts of my face that have acne than others. After that, just rinse and apply any cream, moisturizer, or serums of your choice.

This is a great product and I'm so glad that I invested my money into it. It came with a Lavender Mia, universal voltage pLink charger, sensitive brush head, and a trial size cleanser. The trial size cleanser works wonders on my skin. I have normal to sensitive skin, so I have to be careful with certain products I can use. The trial size cleanser was perfect for my skin. I hardly break out, and when I do they are very small pimples that aren't too noticeable and last only a couple of days. After using my Clarisonic, I immediately felt the difference between how my skin felt now and then. My face was very smooth, felt time, and my little pimples felt like they were ready to go away. It amazed me! I would never want to go back to hand washing my face again.

To make sure that you keep your face as clean as possible, I started off by using my Clarisonic daily. I would use it both at the morning and night. However when I noticed my skin getting better, I cut it down to just once a day. Preferably being at night when I removed the day's make up. I know of some people who only use it once a week, but it's really up to you and how you want to use it. There isn't anything wrong with using it daily at all. Just be cautious not to overly wash your face, especially if you're not putting any moisturizer on after it. The brush head is detachable is and should be replaced every 3 months or so to ensure that you aren't using a dirty brush. To charge it up, just simply plug in the charger and put the end of the Clarisonic to the end of the charger. It doesn't take very long to charge and it's said that you should keep it charged before you use it.
