Several weeks have passed giving me sufficient time with my Clarisonic, and my feelings are mixed. I like it for the same reason I like my Sonicare toothbrush, it forces me to use it for a specified amount of time thus making my teeth and face cleaner. Is it really the patented technology that propels your face into another dimension of cleanliness or is it the sheer fact that you have probably never washed your face for a minute straight before? I felt like I got the same results with this tried and true brush for a fraction of the cost but then again maybe not? I know the science behind it is legitimate and it does leave my face feeling really clean, I can also tell a slight difference in how much better my foundation glides on- but maybe not a $200 difference. Final verdict, this is a great buy for those willing to spend the money and the extra time in their routine but the cleanest thing of all might just be your wallet.

Clarisonic Skin Care Brush System

It's that time of year; cold, dry, windy, and your skin pays the price. Sometimes lotion just doesn't cut it and you need just a little more moisture. I love Aura Cacia's line of bath and body products, they're made with 100% pure essential oils, aren't animal tested and this product contains only 2 ingredients- pure sweet almond oil and natural vitamin E. I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't have a scent at all since I was expecting for it to smell at least slightly of almond. What I loved about it was it's ability to transform- it keeps freshly shaved legs amazingly smooth without being greasy, you can mix a little bronzer or highlighter into it for a healthy glow on arms, legs and declote, and you can drop whatever essential oils you like (lavender, rose etc.) into it for a light fragrant all-over moisturizer. Added bonus- the unique despensing system which ensures the oil stays inside the bottle and not all over it.
