FACE it!

First impressions are  so important and whether you want to admit it or not, your face says ALOT about you. So what you need to do is take care of it properly. If you already are following the first step with consuming water (filtered of course!) then your next step is to know how to cleanse your face. Lets start with some tools that will help you get that first impression you desire.

We all know the average facial costs between $80.00 to $200.00 (depending on the spa/service) not including tip! If you were to go and get facials on a regular basis (once a month) that can add up! Plus who wants to deal with making appointments and having a red face when you are done? hmmm NOT ME! Allright so let me tell you what I do – one time purchase of $149 gets you the Not only does it cleanse your face really well, but it lets your facial cleansers actually work the way they are supposed to work!

Clarisonic is a brush that actually moves while you wash your face, and it actually cleanses more than washing your face with your hands. After using this product over the past year, my face has actually become smoother, less red and overall more radiant. I can even say that I am less prone to breaking out, and if I do have the occasional breakout its over in a day just by keeping up with this regimen. Additionally, it improves the absorption of serums and moisturizers.

Clarisonic offers a safe, gentle and natural way to cleanse your skin without any harsh abrasion or chemicals. The sonic technology is so gentle and effective that it is used and recommended by luxury spas and leading dermatologists across the country. The way you cleanse and care for your skin will never be the same. There are different models/makes of the Clarisonic, however you can use the travel one for $149 that provides the same benefits of the one seen in this picture fo $195.

I have actually tried all makes and model, including the more expensive line (for $225) at Sephora. The reason its a higher price is because it has more settings and even has a body brush. I did not find the body brush useful because how can you reach your back and every part of your body? Plus it takes too muuh time to Clarisonic your entire body, and if you are already filtering your water in the shower, your skin will naturally become smoother.

I find that the $195 Classic Clarisonic brush works efficiently for what I need it to do, which is cleanse my face and allow my other facial products to work more efficiently. Clarisonic is sold online and in stores – specifically I know they have it at Sephora where I bought this product. The great thing about it is if you do not like the product and you feel that it does not work, you can return it. So you may as well give it a test run because now I use it all the time, and I even have friends/family using it too since they knew what I used to look like before and after. If I can find some high resolution pictures I will post them up on here for you (even though I really do not want to see my skin that up close!)

So go out there and get a great skinful product -Clarisonic! Let me know if it works for you too. Remember, you need a good facial cleanser with this product and ultimately something mild since the Clarisonic serves as deep pore cleanser. Once you start using this tool, you are just another step closer to having gorgeous, radiant and beautiful skin!
