The Amazing Clarisonic Mia : Review

This cleansing face brush is absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough good things about it! The first time I heard about this skin care product, make up guru Tanya Burr was raving about it. Having tried and tested the product and using it everyday, I must say it definitely lives up to all the hype.

To summarise, the Clarisonic Mia really does everything that it's website claims it does:

"The Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System uses a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to clean, soften and smooth skin. In just 60 seconds, the action removes more makeup and more dirt and sebum than cleansing with your hands alone. Removing more dirt and sebum from your pores also helps prepare for a better skin care regime."


Key benefits:
-If you have sensitive skin and big pores like me, the Clarisonic Mia works really well to tighten and reduce pore visibility.

-Really ensures that all your make up is long gone, unclogging pores and works really well in combination with Philosophy's Purity cleanser. 

-Skin feels really clean, soft and smooth once your done.
-the mia is  super quick (max 1 minute) and it is also waterproof (yes, you can use it in the shower!)



-The original clarisonic is larger and bulkier, so this smaller version makes a great travelling partner for weekends and holidays.

-The mia comes available with a series of replaceable brush heads to suit your skin needs (e.g. "Sensitive" and "delicate" brush heads).


Beware:
-during the first week of use, you may notice a break out or two (AKA: The Purging Phase). Dont freak out, the reason why this may be happening is because your skin is being cleansed six times deeper than it's used to, and all of the extra sebum and dirt is making its way out of your pores. After a week, its all clear and smooth sailing :)


 -Once you get into a routine with the Clarisonic Mia cleansing system, be consistent. If you stop using it for weeks or months at a time; be prepared: breakouts may occur as a result of changing your pattern of consistent daily cleansing.


- Although the battery lasts for at least 2-3 weeks depending on how frequently you use the product, one of the main downsides is that it takes at least a day to fully recharge!


-The Clarisonic Mia doesn't come cheap. It is indeed an investment, but after experiencing all the skin care benefits and durability of the product for over a year and a half, I feel like it was worth every penny!



Honestly, this is one skin care product that I absolutely cannot live without. If you guys decide to take the plunge, trust me-you wont be disappointed!
