This week’s question comes from a reader, who asked the following:
“I’m thinking about buying a Clarisonic, but do I really need it? What are your thoughts?”
Well if you’ve been keeping up with the blog then you’ll know that I first recommended the Clarisonic about 5 years ago here. And with that said, I do still highly recommend it! Maintaining clean skin is seriously half the battle in achieving healthy skin. The Clarisonic takes the guess work out of it by aiding in the removal of dirt, makeup, product build-up and dead skin cells – which in turn keeps your skin clean, ensures pores aren’t blocked and prepares the skin for the penetration of other products (moisturizers, serums, eye creams, masks, etc).
So if you feel this investment is for you I would highly recommend reading the manufacturer’s directions before use and following them! Overuse or incorrect use could possibly result in irritated or even damaged skin.
Now can you maintain clean and healthy skin without the Clarisonic? The answer is “YES”! Following a consistent skincare regimen is key – and, you may need to double cleanse (which is just cleansing your skin twice in the morning and twice at night) to be sure your skin is completely clean.
I hope this helps!
