The Clarisonic has been paraded all over blogs and the internet for many months now and as much as I was sceptical about it's skin-changing prowess I was intrigued...
Just before Christmas my sister got one and after she raved about it and I started to pay close attention to what it claims to do, I was hooked on the idea. "What a great way to start the New Year," I lied to myself... "But why not give it a go, you know, for the good of the blog... " So I am!
If you live in a hole and haven't heard, the Clarisonic is a facial cleansing brush that uses sonic technology to deliver a more thorough cleanse to the face, removing more dirt and make up than a 'manual' cleanse. This helps decongest pores and keeps skin exfoliated which allows for products to penetrate the skin more readily and therefore, work more efficiently. AND (this is my favourite bit) the sonic waves help to improve overall skin tone, promoting a more even and glowing complexion.
If it does do these things, it will certainly have earned that £120 price tag, which after you've picked yourself up off the floor, will still feel expensive. But my thinking is this: it's your face. YOUR FACE! If it works it's worth every penny right? For all the money and time we all spend fiddling around with things that make no discernible difference, to have a product that not only helps all those products work more effectively but in itself will tighten up those jabbly jowls, well, then I will personally track down its inventor and take him to Afternoon Tea. Yes Sir!
And... if it doesn't it will be consigned to the 'messy drawer' of my dressing table never to fulfil it's face-shaping destiny. Stay tuned for regular thoughts and updates on how it's changing my life (for better or worse...)
Let the trials begin!
I bought the Clarisonic Mia in Lavender from SpaceNK for £120.
I look forward to hearing how you get on with this.
ReplyDeleteIt's the sister speaking.... It's great. I'm a month in and definitely made a difference to the clarity of my skin. It glows, foundation sits better and it just feels, well, better!
ReplyDeleteI agree it's not cheap but at the very least you have a handy little exfoliating brush (it does gently exfoliate although this isn't a claim Clarasonic makes).
It's a winner for me but you absolutely need to give it some time and not judge to quickly.
I think the best thing about it is that it helps your products work better. Because it gets your skin 6 times cleaner, your products absorb better and thus work harder. So my advice would be to make sure you are using good products! No point having this if you use rubbish products!
That's my two peneth :) x x x
