I washed Clarisonic for only one month - this is what happened

You've heard over and over again that cleansing is one of the best ways to keep your skin looking healthy. Removing dirt and impurities from the surface of the skin twice a day will help prevent clogged pores and acne. Until recently, I used to apply cleanser and massage my skin with my hands, but in an attempt to take the cleansing routine to the next level, I replaced the Clarisonic facial cleansing brush. These revolutionary devices can remove make-up and cleanse skin six times better than hands alone, so I tested this claim. I gave up handwashing for one month in favor of the Clarisonic Mia 2 after I received a free device from the brand. Curious to know how it went? Keep reading to find out!

BENEFITS OF USING CLARISONIC

Clarisonic facial cleansing brushes can offer many benefits for your complexion. Need details? Here are four reasons why you should include Clarisonic in your daily skin care routine.

Benefit #1: It removes makeup and cleanses your skin better than your hands.

If you are just massaging your face with your hands while applying the cleanser to your face, the truth is that you can achieve a deeper cleansing. As we mentioned earlier, Clarisonic facial cleansing brushes remove make-up and cleanse skin six times better than your hands, thanks to specially designed bristles and revolutionary sonic cleaning technology. 

Benefit #2: Gentle on the skin.

According to Clarisonic Head of Education Heather Forcari, many people are afraid to add Clarisonic to their daily lives for fear that the device will not be gentle. However, you can allay your fears because Forcari explains that Clarisonic facial cleansing brushes are rigorously tested to ensure they are gentle on all skin types, even sensitive ones. "If we can shake it on an egg yolk, it's clearly tender," she says. 

Benefit #3: You can use it daily.

There's no denying that Clarisonic facial cleansing brushes can be a luxury, but you'll certainly get your money's worth with how often you can use the device - twice a day, every day. “The good news about the Clarisonic is that you want to use it all the time at any time of the year,” says Forcari. More good news? If you are new to Clarisonic devices, you can easily integrate them into your routine. "It's so gentle and really works almost immediately without any issues," says Forcari. 

Benefit #4: You can solve your skin problems.  

In addition to removing impurities from the surface of the skin, you can use the Clarisonic Facial Cleansing Brush to address specific skin concerns. Whether you're struggling with acne or the visible signs of aging, Clarisonic offers a brush head, cleanser, and device designed with your skin in mind.

I USED A CLARISONIC FOR ONE MONTH AND THIS IS HAPPENED

As someone who struggles with sensitive and dull skin, it made sense for me to put these three together for my little experiment: Clarisonic Mia 2 Facial Cleansing Brush, Clarisonic Delicate Facial Brush Head, and Clarisonic Radiance Foaming Milk Cleanser. All three received brand compliments from the Skincare.com team. Below, I share a brief breakdown of each product, as well as my thoughts on the overall experience.

Brush: Mia 2 Facial Cleansing Brush MSRP $169. 

What it does: Considering all skin types, this facial cleansing brush can help remove makeup and improve the appearance of your skin. The device is equipped with a 1-minute T-timer. to tell you when it's time to clean another area of ​​your face so you don't overclean one spot. Also, I found the facial brush to be very easy to use. While I paired my Mia 2 with the signature Delicate Face Brush, the unit is compatible with a variety of Clarisonic brush heads so you can easily pick your favorite.

why i love it: I had a great experience with the Mia 2 Facial Cleansing Brush. In addition to the incredible ease of use, I was very grateful for the device's 1-minute timer, which beeps to remind you to move to the next area of ​​your face. Sometimes I'm guilty of paying less attention to cleansing certain areas of my face, so this feature really helped me stay on track. 

brush head: Gentle facial brush head MSRP $27. 

What it does: Suitable for sensitive and acne prone Skin types, the Delicate Face Brush attachment helps remove dirt and impurities, leaving skin soft.

Why I love it: The exceptionally soft bristles on this brush head provide a truly comfortable experience..

Purifier: Radiance Cleansing Milk Foam MSRP $19. 

What it does: Rich in herbal ingredients, this foaming cleansing milk will help to make the skin smoother and more even.. 

Why I love it: My previously dull skin was grateful for this radiant cleansing milk. I cannot recommend it to those with problematic, dull or tired skin.

MY FINAL VERDICT 

Overall, I've had a great experience with these three Clarisonic products. Not only was the cleansing ritual something I sincerely looked forward to in the morning and evening, I was also very impressed with the results I got in return. 

While I really enjoyed clearing my skin with the Clarisonic (and plan to continue doing so), I did notice a few pimples on my skin the first time I used this device. This kind of reaction is not uncommon, which is why Forcari recommends incorporating Clarisonic into your daily routine for the first time, especially before a big event or event, well in advance of your engagement, to account for a potential acne flare-up. “Sometimes when you start something new, your skin needs time to adjust,” she says. "That's what I would like to remind people."

And she was right. Once my skin adjusted to the new normal, my skin ended up looking much better. Within a month, my skin was deeply cleansed, smooth and soft.

Do you already have your own Clarisonic device ready to use at home? Here's a good tip: Change your brush head every three months. Brush heads are made up of filaments collected in small tufts, and when they start to get dirty, the bristles won't work as well as they did when they were brand new.
