Clarisonic Skin Care Brush Review and Giveaway

As seen on the Oprah’s Favorite Things, the Clarisonic Skin Care Brush is a vibrating brush that dramatically enhances penetration without injuring the skin. In order for any skin product to work, the product needs to get into the skin. The surface of your skin helps your skin to maintain moisture (that is a good thing) but it also prevents products from getting into the skin (that is a bad thing). The Clarisonic Skincare Brush vibrates the bristles 300 times per second. This high speed vibration dramatically improves your skin’s ability to absorb the products without injuring the skin’s ability to retain moisture.

Here are some of the benefits this revolutionary skincare tool delivers:

Six times more makeup removal

Skin is soft and smooth

Cleanses so well that products absorb better

Gentle for use twice daily

Reduces oily areas, dry skin patches and blemishes

Reduces the appearance of visible pores

Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

I have been using mine for about 2 months now. With in the first few cleanings, I noticed my skin was brighter, and breakouts were clearing up faster. I really think the key is knowing your skin, and knowing when it needs exfoliated and when it doesn’t. I don’t use this so much as an exfoliator, as a cleaner. Now yes, it will exfoliate, but I still use a gentle scrub 1-2 times a week, plus a treatment mask.

The Clarisonic Skin Care Brush, actually cleans my skin, gets the residue off, leaves it healthy and able to breath in oxygen, and also to absorb the fantastic natural skin care products I use on my skin. I can’t even say enough about what it has done for my complexion. A dream tool for most acne sufferers. I barely have blackheads on my nose anymore! I totally give full credit of that to the sonic action.

The Clarisonic® was developed to function as an extremely gentle sonic micro-massage, working with the skin’s natural elasticity at more than 300 movements per second. And while most people don’t have a lot of time in the morning and at night to properly cleanse, the Clarisonic® was also designed to work fast – loosening dirt, makeup, and oil in just 60 seconds.

With a push of a button, the bristles on a Clarisonic® brush head are working two ways to clean your skin gently and effectively. The flexing action between the outer and inner brushes works deep within the pores to loosen dirt and oil, while the back and forth oscillating motion of the inner brush effectively cleans, clarifies, and stimulates the skin.

I have only used the Sensitive Brush that comes with the kit, and probably will never use anything but. It works, very well for me. But they do have a Delicate, and a Normal brush as well. You do need to replace those every 3 months, so that part isn’t incredibly green. But I do think that all the wasted products that were sitting on top of your dirt before, will make up for it! Plus you skin is so baby smooth, you just don’t need to apply nearly as much. Nor will you need as many products! this is your breakout, line/wrinkle, anti-aging, skin tone, pigment and oil fighter all rolled into one!

I do admit, that I never even attempted the cleansers that came with it. Sorry Clarisonic! I like my natural products way too much! That is my only suggestion to them, is to make organic skincare to partner with the beauty tool.

I have even noticed some of my fine lines around my mouth have gotten fainter. Now who can’t handle that? Also the baby wrinkles on my forehead are simply not there anymore. Unless I frown of course!

And guess what? I have Clarisonic Skin Care System for one of you Prissy Green Readers! To enter, tell me why you want it and what you think it will help the most with! This system is sold for $195!
