Ahhh it's been over a month and a half that I've had my new toy but I'm still excited over it!
Ohhhh yeahhhh, bring on some nice skin hehe
During our New York City trip, Dale bought me the new Clarisonic Plus 3-speed from Sephora :)
OMG thank you so much Dale!
The sales associate at Sephora thought they only carried the new Clarisonic Plus in a white colour.
But Dale had gone alone to Sephora on his own initiative the day before (while I was taking a nap mind you) and checked out the options for Clarisonics. He knew there was a pink one for the 3-speed.
Awww isn't Dale soooo nice to scout out stores for me while I was taking a nap?
I have sensitive skin so my main concern was that the Clarisonic might be too harsh for my skin.
My younger sister has the Clarisonic Mia (the 1 speed version for the face) and she was really kind to let me try her Clarisonic Mia a few times. I didn't experience any irritation or dryness that I was worried about and the vibrating brush against my skin felt really nice. I heard many great things about the Clarisonic. I'm so lucky Dale bought me the latest Clarisonic Plus which has 3 speeds and is used for both face and body ;)
So at first, I followed the instructions.
For cleansing the face the instructions said to use the Clarisonic once a day for one minute.
Well after the first week and a half I developed numerous zits on my face from using it every day :(
I have sensitive skin so it is very common that I have problems using various skincare products or even using products as instructed. Also I knew the newly developed blemishes were attributed to the Clarisonic because (1) I usually only get one zit every 1-2 months and (2) my skincare routine stayed the same except for my new toy
I did some online research and quickly realized that many others experienced the same problem. The solution was to cut back on usage - instead of using it every day, use it every other day or every third day. I'm happy to say that has solved the problem and my skin looks and feels better. Pretty much the only skin issue I have on my face is a bit of redness around my nose and it seems that the Clarisonic has really helped me with that when not much else has.
Oh and my next post will be on the miracle blemish spot treatment that helped me get rid of the blemishes that I got from my Clarisonic. Stay tuned for my review on the best blemish spot treatment I've ever used, if you're curious :)
One thing I LOVE about my Clarisonic is how much it has reduced the cellulite on my thighs!
*sheds a tear of happiness*
The sales associates at Sephora told me the Clarisonic was really good for cellulite - at that point Dale and I looked at one another because he knows how much I hate my cellulite LOL
In March when I saw my younger sister in Edmonton Alberta, I asked her to check for cellulite on the back of my thighs - because hey, that's what sisters are for! Plus she's super honest. I totally dislike it when people lie to me just to be nice - that's why I rarely ask anyone for their opinion and just use my own judgement instead. Anyways, she said my cellulite was barely visible. So I would say my cellulite was mild to begin with - but I personally think it's sooo much better now that I use the Clarisonic Plus on the back of my thighs religiously every day for the past month and a half. I love it!!!!

I can use the Clarisonic on my body every day for as long as I want without any negative side effects unlike using it on my face (which gives me blemishes if used daily, but works great if used 2-3 times per week).
I know the Clarisonic is a skincare investment. It is worth it. Yes I was super lucky to get this as a gift, but Sephora's return policy is also very good. Years ago I bought a GHD flat iron around $200+ CDN from Sephora and it didn't work nearly as well as I was hoping it would - I rarely return things but I was disappointed with the GHD and had absolutely no problems returning it for a full refund at Sephora.
Have you tried the Clarisonic before?
Do you exfoliate your skin? If not with the Clarisonic, what skincare products do you exfoliate with?
