Hygiene Essential

For Christmas, my fabulous, trendy Nana gave me, my cousin, my aunt and my mother all the Clarisonic Mias. As you can see, my mother and I got the Zebra & Cougar patterns, currently sold out everywhere. There is actually a waiting list to receive one! One person accounted for the buy out as too many "Jerseylicious people watching QVC at once". Whether or not that is true, I am in love with my animal print pattern.

At the time, I had no idea the weight of this gift. One month later, I cannot imagine my life without the Clarisonic Mia. I have literally become obsessed, occasionally engaging twice a day, both morning and night. Then after, to complete my daily regimen, always applying my other new obsession, Philosophy's Hope in a Jar moisturizer.

The Clarisonic "Mia" is the smaller edition to the larger "Classic" or "Plus" versions, that have 3 speeds and can be used for the whole body. The benefit however, is it comes in 6 fabulous colors, along with various limited edition shades. Catch them while you can, it's seriously worth it!! The Mia has 1 speed and 20 minutes of stored battery life. It's portable, waterproof (can be used while in the shower) and re-chargeable! 

Limited Edition "Hope" Clarisonic: A portion of your purchase will go as a donation to support the "Look Good, Feel Good" campaign

This is a fantastic gift, believe it or not you can even personalize the back of the Clarisonic. In fact, there is even a prepared section of words to add to Clarisonic for men. Who said men can't also beautify? On the Clarisonic website, you can choose the color, model and preview what you want to say on your very own customized product. 

THE HOW TO: First step is to wet your face and lightly wet the brush. This is why I prefer to do this in the shower. Next, apply cleanser to the brush. The technique is to hold the device to your face in a circular motion, applying pressure for 10 seconds on both cheeks, 20 seconds on the forehead, and another 10 seconds to nose and chin. It's really that simple!! 1 minute of your time for flawless skin. This has truly made my skin feel renewed and so soft.

So far I have only used the 3 Clarisonic cleansers that came in my all inclusive package: Gentle for sensitive skin, Nourishing for oily skin and Refreshing for normal/dry skin. Although, I am currently on the hunt for another cleanser that will work well with my device. I am looking into purchasing a philosophy cleanser as I love Hope in a Jar so much. Together this combination in unstoppable.
