Get Fit

There are no words to explain how much I love my original Clarisonic.  I have used the hell out of it in the years that I've had it, and I've recommended it to a ton of people who ended up buying them (I really should've bought stock in the company way back when).  So I was intrigued by the new Mia Fit when I saw it in Sephora and couldn't wait to get my hands on it to check it out.  And you guys, it is so, so worth buying (even if you have one of the other ones).  The Fit is a smaller size since it doesn't have a handle, per se, so it's easier to store and definitely easier to travel with.  (And along those lines, they did the COOLEST thing and gave you two ways to charge it - the normal version that plugs into the wall, and a USB version so you can charge it on your laptop or phone charger when you travel.  That is GENUIS.  Sheer cleansing genius). The device itself gives me the same great cleansing power as the original.  The thing that I absolutely love about the Clarisonics are how great my face feels after I use them and that streak continues with this one too.  I've been hiking a lot, so I use the stick sunscreen and while great sun protection, it leaves a pretty heavy film on my face when I'm done.  Nothing else I've used gets my skin as squeaky clean and free of that as the Clarisonics.  My skin just feels... better after I use them, and the Mia Fit does all that in a smaller package, so it takes up less space in my (overly) crowded bathroom.  It's like they took something amazing and made it even more perfect!  Can fat free chocolate chip cookies be far behind?

Turn On The Radiance

I've had three different Clarisonics now (and convinced at least four other people to buy them as well) so I think we can safely say that I'm a fan.  I love the way it works, how easy it is, and how amazingly clean my skin always feels after I use it.  I hike a lot so I use a high SPF stick sunscreen on my face and while I love the way it protects my skin, it can be hard to get off.  If I'm ever feeling lazy and just use a face wipe to clean my skin afterwards, I totally notice a difference between how it feels when I've used my Clarisonic.  (Hint - the answer is much dirtier). So I was super excited to try the new Sonic Radiance Brightening Solution Kit.  For $249, the set includes the Clarisonic Aria device with a Clarisonic Radiance Brush Head (brand new!) and a Skin Iluminating Cleanser, Brightening Activator Serum and Skin Peel Wash to follow the skin care routine they lay out for you in the instructions.  (The daily morning routine is called Radiance Recovery and uses the cleanser and the serum, the daily nighttime routine is called Texture Renewal and uses the Skin Peel Wash and the serum).  I've been using it for a few weeks now and my skin is super soft and glowy and it feels so, so clean afterwards.  The entire system is meant to combat the appearance of hyperpigmentation, acne-induced discoloration, uneven skin tone and dullness and it's the first time Clarisonic has introduced a leave-on treatment.  I like it because I don't have to think at all - I can use my beloved Clarisonic with the perfect pairing of products, so it's even better than just buying a "regular" Clarisonic.  I seriously can't recommend it enough.  Buy one for yourself, buy one as a gift for someone, buy one just for the hell of it...  You can't go wrong!

Get Your Skin In Shape

 

 

Okay, if you have breakout-prone skin and you've been resisting getting a Clarisonic (for some crazy, unfathomable reason) now is your time.  Clarisonic has a new Acne Clarifying Collection that looks fantastic.  Here's the official info on it:

Clarisonic brings you closer to clear skin—in just one step! The inventor of the professional-caliber, dermatologist-recommended Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System, has paired its patented sonic cleansing technology, including an innovative new brush head, with a gentle yet powerful salicylic acid-based cleanser to form the Clarisonic Acne Clarifying Collection. In one easy step, that’s safe and gentle enough for use twice daily, you can remove dirt, oil and impurities more thoroughly---and begin to treat acne blemishes.

I love, love, love, LOVE my "regular" Clarisonic, but it sounds like this one will be even better at helping  with skin that's a little bit more problematic.  It doesn't start shipping out until March 15th, but you can pre-order now.  Get on that!
