CLARISONIC EXPERIENCE - MY MONTHLY TRIAL...





It's been a month since I received a beautiful gift  - Clarisonic Plus - from Loreal Group Canada who is representing the Clarisonic brand in our country. Those of you, who have been following me&my 4-week journey with this "miracle brush" - know already my enthusiasm about it but today I would like to sum up the whole experience using it myself.



Although my skin is in quite good condition (as I am an aesthetician and taking proper care of my skin mornings&evenings is "a must" ritual), there are parts of my face that gets oily and dirty not to mention more blemishes. I need to spend some extra time taking care of my skin especially after wearing my makeup the whole day. Then Clarisonic is the perfect solution - nothing cleans better than this tool!! (you can see the picture attached which was presented to me a while ago and I couldn't believe how huge difference in cleansing I could achieve!!)


I use my Clarisonic Plus once a day - in the evening - using their standard timing set-up which works great for me-but you can also adjust it according to your needs and skin condition.

I found out that Clarisonic not only cleanses your skin better but also it helps with improving your skin condition and.. maintain it!!!!
My skin felt smoother and softer to touch from day one as well as it also feels plumper and "younger" - I noticed I have less skin problems even though I don't get enough sleep recently and it is quite stressful time of the year for me - but you couldn't tell looking at my skin:-) 
And I have to mention - great skin is the great base itself for beautiful makeup - which means investing in Clarisonic - you invest in your skin as well as you can save money by buying extra makeup products, such as primers, smoothing base etc.

MY BEAUTY MONTH WITH CLARISONIC - WEEK 3...



Almost 3 weeks ago I received a gift from Loreal Canada Group - beautifully wrapped box with Clarisonic Plus inside!!! 
I promised to give you my weekly feedback about my experience with using this "miracle brush" and I cannot believe it's already week number 3!!! Those of you who read my last two posts - know already that I   was very surprised with the results right after the first usage (and as you know, usually I am quite sceptical about products that have been advertised so much that you almost start thinking if its all about the good marketing&promotion or is it really about the product). But I have to admit-I got addicted to the Clarisonic brush - and every week I am increasing the number of times that I am actually using it!!


Though my skin seems to be taking to Clarisonic well, I only use it once a day- even though it says you can use it twice. I like using it at night before I go to bed.  I’m very dedicated when it comes to face cleansing process:) No matter how tired I am, I can’t go to sleep without taking my makeup off - so after the eye makeup removal - I apply my cleanser and take the Clarisonic  brush that makes the cleansing routine easier and faster (it has a timer, so you know exactly when to stop).
This magical brush glides over your skin, evenly cleaning all areas and applying just enough pressure to get rid of the grime without harming your skin (you shouldn't be pressing the brush too much on your skin!!) My skin already feels smoother and my complexion more balanced after using it a handful of times. Moreover, it' definitely brighter and what is most important for me- the makeup application is way easier the next morning!!
So far - so great!!!Wait for my feedback after the next week!!Have a beautiful week ahead!!

MY CLARISONIC EXPERIENCE - WEEK 2 :-)




Those of you, who read my blog posts regularly know that over a week ago I started my challenge with using Clarisonic by testing it for a month and giving you my honest feedback about this miracle tool and condition of my skin...

I know its quite some time since the moment that Clarisonic was introduced into the beauty market, however I was waiting to try the most recent version of Clarisonic brush - which is Clarisonic Plus.
It comes with two brushes (for face and body) as well as it has different speed levels: low/normal/high which gives you an option to choose the one that is appropriate for your skin type and its condition (it looks like the one on the picture below).




 it has diff I really like the fact that it cleanses my skin 6x better than the regular cleansing procedure so I love thinking I am doing something good for my skin every time I use it:-)
Last week I started with using it once a day/2 times a week.
Because I noticed the difference right after the first usage - I decided that I am going to increase the frequency of using it and just this past week I used my Clarisonic 3 times - but only at night.
I know some people likes to use it twice a day(morning&evening) however I think it would be too much for my skin (I know:-)some of you will laugh but with my aesthetic background I am just careful:-)
I had very stressful and busy week when I was running in between meetings from early till the morning till late in the evening with full makeup on my face - so the first thing after coming back home was to remove my "second face" and using my magic brush:-)
Usually, after my marathon type of days - my skin looks so dull and almost dirty the next day, but after cleansing my face with the help of Clarisonic - my skin was actually not only smooth and clean after the use - but the next morning it was radiant and glowing!!!
Definitely, after 2 weeks of using the Clarisonic Plus - my skin condition improved and looks more healthy!!

Stay tune for feedback about  my journey with the Clarisonic:-)
