Hi girls!! I just wanted to update you on my recent purchase of the Clarisonic Mia.
So for a long time I didn't really want the Clarisonic. I remember a long time ago Laura of Lollipop26 You Tube fame had mentioned she felt it was widely over hyped and thought a battery powered toothbrush would do the exact same thing.
But lately some of my favorite YouTube guru's (in particular Michele1218 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DpTxtDAwYI ) have been talking about it again so I decided I HAD to have it! Well...I returned it.
That's right...I am (almost) the only girl on the planet that didn't like it! When I posted that I purchased it Cari at http://sisterssincere.blogspot.com/ mentioned she didn't have a good experience with it either!
Honestly I just didn't think it was THAT great! And recently (I wish I'd seen these BEFORE I purchased) I watched GinaBinaWina99's review on her YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KWOsF39pj8) but more importantly KathySpear's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5ZUR_hs3eI) review on YouTube. These are comparison videos comparing the Clarisonic vs. The Olay Pro X but there is also some interesting information in both the videos.
My biggest issue was that honestly it made no difference in the way my skin felt or looked and for the money you pay I wanted to see and feel results! Now I know I only had it a few weeks so maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance but I almost immediately started breaking out. And Kathy Spear's video talks about this and why it may happen. My skin went from being clear to breaking out!
I am in my mid 30's and Kathy Spears video talks about how this kind of manuel exfoliation is not the best thing for more mature skin. If you want to hear an excellent explanation from a skin care expert (really, Kathy is a professional aesthetician) go watch her video! It just didn't work for me but I know a lot of girls love it!
XOXO
