Is The Clarisonic Worth the Hype?!

I am a self -proclaimed beauty junkie. I think most of you might have guessed that by now! But when new products and tools hit the market, I often find myself wondering if they are worth all their hype. When the Clarisonic Face Brush first hit the market, I decided to pass on the item due to its price point. I mean is it really worth dropping over a hundred dollars to wash your face on the daily?! Is it really worth the hype? Keep reading to find out!

Almost 2 years ago, I took the plunge and purchased the Clarisonic Mia 2. The Clarisonic Mia 2 is a face washing tool that cleans the skin six times better than your hands. It has two speeds and it times the cleansing process for one minute and pulses when it is time to change to another area of your face to wash. It also has interchangeable brush heads for different skin types.

But I am sure your saying to yourself, ” yeah, yeah but you were gonna tell us if it is worth it or not?” But don’t worry, I am getting there!

Sometimes the following saying is true in skincare, “Don’t fix something that isn’t broken.”

If you have normal and non problematic skin, then NO it is probably not worth it to splurge on a face brush that deep cleans your skin. But if you are someone who struggles with discoloration, acne, textured skin, fine lines, etc than you would defiantly benefit by including the Clarsonic into your routine.

In my opinion, the Clarisonic IS WORTH THE HYPE for the following reasons:

It creates a smooth and even toned skin texture

It deep cleans 6 times better than your hands

It gently exfoliates the dead skin cells

You skincare products will penetrate deeper and be more effective

Your makeup will look better

So my answer is YES. It is worth the hype.

But here are just a few things I would recommend if you do decide to splurge on this face washing tool.

1. Do not use it twice a day. For over a year, I made the mistake of using it twice a day. I do believe using it twice in one day can be too much exfoliation for the skin and could cause irritation.

2. Do clean the brush head daily with a mild soap. To prevent bacteria from spreading, I use dish soap to cleanse the brush head after each use.

3. Do replace the brush head every 3 months. 

4. Do remove your makeup fully before use. I like to use coconut oil to remove my makeup before using the Clarsonic. This can extend the life of your brush head.

If your looking for a way to really change up your skincare game, than I would recommend the Clarisonic.
