Review: Clarisonic Mia

2 Jun

I think I’m in love. After years of hearing people talk about how much they love their Clarisonic, I decided to finally check it out for myself and see what all the hype was.

For the last year I have been having breakouts on my hairline and temples and sensitive dry skin under my eyes. Its been a struggle to find a skin care ritual and products that works for my sensitive combination skin. Since starting to use the Clarisonic Mia all my skin issues have completely cleared up.

When we wash our dishes, we use a sponge or cloth – not just our hands. So why is it that most people think washing your face with just hands is enough?

The Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System gently removes impurities that traditional methods leave behind, leaving you with softer, smoother and more beautiful skin. Manual cleansing can leave dirt and oil trapped in the pores.  This build-up can damage the appearance and health of your skin and keep your skin care products from working like they should. Clarisonic uses a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to gently, yet thoroughly remove makeup 6X better than cleansing with your hands alone.

At first I was using my Clarisonic both morning and night but after a few days I realized that my skin was a bit too sensitive for that and I was left with slightly rosy cheeks. Once I cut it down to just morning usage, my skin completely fell in love and has never felt so soft or looked so smooth. I found the Refreshing Gel Cleanser that came with my Clarisonic to be a bit too drying for my skin type, but when used only a couple times a week, in conjunction with my Cliniderm Gentle Cleanser, it is a perfect combo.

Other things that I love so much about the Clarisonic Mia:

  • It is fully rechargeable
  • 3 week battery life on a full charge
  • Easy to travel with
  • Compact charging system
  • Comes in 6 awesome colours (I got the blue)
  • Variety of heads available to suit various skin types/conditions (Sensitive, Normal, Delicate, Deep Cleansing Acne Cleansing and Body)
  • Shuts off automatically after 60 seconds

Love it so much that I want to use it on my whole body! Luckily for me, the Clarisonic PLUS Sonic Skin Cleansing System does just that! It is definitely the next addition on my wish list. It also makes a great Father’s Day gift to help dads get smoother skin and a better, closer shave.
