I know that headline may have thrown some of you dirty minds, but when anyone asks what the one skin care or beauty item I can’t live without, Clarisonic is often at the front of my lips. Clarisonic really should be paying me—I’m their best brand ambassador! It works like this; the device has a bunch of rotating bunches in concentric rings – kind of like the Pentagon. Those rings of brushes spin in opposing directions at sonic speeds, loosening desmosomes (glue that holds dead skin cells together) to detach old, dull-looking skin cells from your face to reveal your younger skin. It also causes a bit of microcirculation, giving you that “just )(#*@) flush!
My favorite way to use this handheld tool…is to take a dash of Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, add a little water to make a paste, and work it into my skin with the Clarisonic. It yanks out blackheads and sebum (oil) to help prevent breakouts and uneven skin tone. It’s perfect for tackling t-zone drama. I can’t live without it. And if you have problem skin, neither should you!
The tool is unisex, but they do have limited edition colors – grey for guys and pink for girls. It retails for about $195 and if you’re nervous about forking over that much cash, they do sell it at Nordstrom and Sephora, who have customer-friendly return policies.
