If you follow me on Instagram, a lot of times I don't have any make up on. This has always made me self conscience because I do not have perfect skin. Sometimes it's oily, sometimes it's dry. I also suffer from severe ingrown hairs, so I usually have a few blemishes.
I've always used face wash and washed my face religiously, used toner, applied moisturizer and even used rubbing alcohol to dry out oily blemishes. But lately I've tried a few new things I wanted to share.
I've started applying a drying lotion, A hydrating serum, and I've started using the Clarisonic Mia 1 cleansing brush. The Mia 1 has seriously changed my skin care game. I partnered with Clarisonic and Her Campus Media to test out Clarisonic's products to see if they would work for me and so I could share them with you. My skin has never experienced a clean like this and I can whole heartedly say I am converted.
At first I hesitated using a "brush" on my skin because it tends to not always react well to skin care products and can become irritated. However, my Clarisonic Mia 1 brush made my skin feel firmer and brighter in just a few weeks! The Clarisonic Mia 1 brush + Cleansing Brush Head, the Acne Brush Head, and Pore and Blemish Cleanser are now staples in my skin care to help fight against unsightly and painful break outs.
At first, I was curious how a little brush could change my whole skin care routine. How does it work? Basically the bristles of a Clarisonic cleansing brush head move back and forth, or “oscillate”, gently flexing the skin and flushing water and cleanser into pores. This sonic cleansing process removes the dirt, oil and debris that ages your skin and causes breakouts. Because Clarisonic facial cleansing devices don’t exfoliate (it's a common myth!) Clarisonic is the #1 cleansing device recommended by US dermatologists. Fluid forces thoroughly flush makeup, sunscreen, impurities and pollutants to more effectively cleanse my skin. And the results occurred quickly.
Incorporating Clarisonic into my daily routine has saved my time if anything. I'm not constantly staring in the mirror trying gimmicks to cleanse my skin. I wet my face, apply the cleanser and let my Clarisonic Mia 1 brush do the rest.
