Voted one of Sephora's "Best Of" in 2008, I discovered the Clarisonic brush on a trip there four months ago. Concerned about clogged pores in my T-zone, moderate acne breakouts, and uneven texture, I knew the ideal solution would be facial treatments every six weeks but, really, who's got those kind of coins in this economy? I needed something that would give me the deep cleansing effect of facials without taxing my budget.A savvy Sephorite immediately steered me towards the brush with two warnings: 1. it's an investment and, 2. it will change your life. Both of them couldn't have been more accurate. While the $195.00 I dropped for it initially made me wince, the results are nothing short of miraculous. Apart from addressing all of the specific concerns I had, one of the additional benefits of the brush is that I've begun to use products in lesser amounts: because it cleans so thoroughly, a little will start to go a long way with your skin, thus saving you money on moisturizers, serums, and cleansers in the long run. And it's just plain fun and easy to use: I've never looked forward to washing my face so much!
You'll need to replace the brush head every 3-4 months but at $25.00 per brush (or two for $40 on Clarisonic's Web site), it's fairly reasonable. The one thing I do not recommend is the cleanser the brush comes with (I didn't find it very effective). Use your own preferred facial wash or find one with exfoliating properties mild enough to use daily, such as Bliss' Fabulous Foaming Face Wash, to really experience the brush's deep cleansing abilities.
And keep it strapped to you for, you know, those desert island scenarios. ;-)
