I'm sure you've seen the Clarisonic cleanser pop up on your social media feed at some point, over heard a co-worker recommending it to everyone after only a few uses, or even just seen the ads everywhere! So, why is everyone crazing over this new product?

What is the Clarisonic Cleanser?
Clarisonic is an electronic cleansing brush for your face that washes away dirt and makeup better than just your hands or the average washcloth, and there's one to suit every skin type. It's an insider favorite of makeup artists, beauty editors, and Oprah.
What does the Clarisonic do for your skin?
It claims to remove six times more makeup than cleansing by hand. It cleanses and helps lift off dry skin cells whilst also removing dirt and makeup. Dr. Neal Schultz reveals that you'll get a slight exfoliation because it's a brush instead of your fingers - the Clarisonic uses sonic technology, at a rate of 300 movements per second(!!) to clean your skin, however those movements are so crazy-fast that it just feels like a gentle vibration. You won't feel any pulling or tugging as the bristles are so soft. Especially if you use the 'delicate' or 'sensitive' brushes. The brush will make your skin smoother and more glowy, reducing the appearance of pores and wrinkles, and help clear up dry patches and acne.

How to use
First you should apply cleanser and then use the brush in circular motion. Clarisonic co-founder Dr. Robb Akridge adivises:
Amount of cleanser: “I find that many only put a dab or a dime-sized amount of cleanser, which is not enough,” says Dr. Robb. “You should wet your brush and face, and apply a quarter-sized amount to the side of the brush — not the center.” Using a dry brush could make for rough cleansing, as it doesn’t allow for the cleanser to work up a lather.
Brushing method: Every inch of your face deserves ample Clarisonic attention. Use a gentle, circular method as you cleanse your face and make sure to avoid pressing too hard. This can reduce effectiveness, so don’t go overboard! Make sure you cleanse your forehead, nose and chin for 20 seconds each, and work on your cheeks for 10 seconds each.
Find the brush that's right for your skin
With so many options it's hard to decide which brush head is best suited for your skin, right? No worries, Akridge has made it super easy for us skincare lovers to help find the right brush, customized to fit your needs. Each was designed with a different type of skin or specific skin concern in mind. Clarisonic offers specialised brush heads for a variety of problematic skin types. Go ahead and find the one that suits you!

What Clarisonic speed should I use?
Another reason everyone should buy a Clarisonic is because several models offer different speed settings. For example, the Mia 2 has two different settings. If you have sensitive skin then the slower 'delicate' setting is recommended; it ensures a very gentle cleanse that won't cause skin reactions. So if you're worried and questioning whether to buy a Clarisonic because of your sensitivities, don't be, it'll help to beautifully transform your skin into a smooth, radiant, healthy looking complexion.
The Cleanser Selena Gomez swears by!

Beauty Bloggers Who Can't Live Without Clarisonic Cleanser
Carla Kokoszka

"I've been testing this beauty for several weeks now and I have to say that I'm completely blown away! I’m obsessed with the Anti-Aging Uplift Firming Massage Head! It’s heaven on my skin! It’s an incredibly pampering tool that leaves my skin looking fresh, plump and invigorated! After using the Uplift Firming Massage Head for one week, I noticed a difference in the texture and overall appearance of my skin! I quickly realized that this little beauty had made a major impact on my skin while offering this tired momma a little pampering at the end of a long day of chasing my twinados around! It’s a win win!"
Brooke Tredway & Meggan Morehead

"I can't live without my Clarisonic, which I use daily with the Gentle Radiance Foaming Milk Cleanser."
Teri Cosenzi

"I'm telling you in all honesty: I will never apply liquid foundation without the Clarisonic Sonic Foundation Brush again. It leaves my face looking so flawless, so fast. I also love that I can switch it out on my device and replace it with the Radiance Brush Head (which I also love) at the end of the day."
Nikki French

"I am so impressed with this. I have never really put it down. I used it for my foundation, contour is amazing. I tried it with cream blush and I was blown away. The other thing I was really amazed by... I looked at the brush and there was nothing left on it so you really don`t waste product and it gives you an airbrushed finish without an airbrush, so it`s a win-win!
Even a 4-year-old could blend makeup with this brush."
MAE Beauty Review
I suffer with sensitive skin and random breakouts and honestly this brush has helped me a lot! I no longer have to spend time and money searching for something that may or may not help my skin. Honestly, in my eyes the Clarisonic is perfect! It's super practical too, and I love that it has removable heads making it easy to apply makeup in the day and cleanse in the night. The brush has reduced my pores, made my skin HELLA soft compared to before - no flakes and more glow! I had a huuge zit that was emerging on my cheek, but it disappeared after just two days using this skintastic device, and I haven't had a full-blown breakout in weeks. Hallelujah!
