Must Have Product for 2013

Clarisonic Mia

As silly as it may sound, the Clarisonic Mia has changed my life! Maybe a bit too dramatic, but I have been extremely impressed with the latest rage in skin care. Constantly finding myself reading rave reviews, I decided that this was my big ticket item for Christmas. After the first week, I was astonished by the difference I could already see and feel in my skin. One of the best parts about the Clarisonic is that it only takes approximately 90 seconds from start to finish, which is a big deal for me. I am always looking for ways to cut down my morning routine.

I have dry/oily combo skin, which is always  a pain and with the Clarisonic my skin is not a big slippery mess by the end of the day and my dry patches are gone! I've also noticed that after my skin got used to the new cleanser, I've had fewer breakouts and black heads and my skin is extremely soft! I found that my makeup actually held up for a full day and it looks a lot fresher! Forget all of the other face washes you all use - go and invest in this amazing product! 

Helpful Hints and Tips

After research and my own personal use, I recommend that you just stick with the basic Mia for $119. The only big difference is that the other versions have several speed options. All of the Clarisonics can use the different type of brush heads, so save yourself a buck and get the Mia. The only exception is the Clarisonic Plus, which runs at $225. The Plus comes with the body brush head and is the only one that you can use the body brush with. If you see yourself using it on your body, this may be worth the money!

Another helpful tip? I have to give my mom the credit as she did the research to find where you can get a good deal on this product. After searching many sites, she found that Amazon.com had the best deals. I've even seen some on here for around $100!

The Clarisonic comes with your first cleansing cream to use with the tool; however refills can be a bit pricey. The Small Things blog also covers a review and actually has recommendations for more inexpensive facial products that work very well with the Clarisonic. She recommends using Hope in a Jar for Dry Skin for the night time and Clear as Day by Philosophy. I have yet to experiment with other products, but I am impressed with the Clarisonic's Refreshing Gel Cleanser.

I am not affiliated with Clarisonic in any way, I'm just a big fan who has tried many products in the past and felt constantly frustrated until now.
