We LOVE the Clarisonic! At Spa Trouve we recommend it to all of our patients and use it for almost all of our skincare treatments. It’s definitely a game-changer when it comes to your skin! Not only is it scientifically proven to give you more softer, more radiant skin, it’s also recommended by dermatologists and skincare professionals.
There are so many benefits in investing in a Clarisonic. It loosens the oil and dirt in your skin, and will remove impurities that are rooted deep in your pores. This will give you a deeper cleanse, without irritation. Plus it helps prime the skin so it better absorbs your products. It works well for an array of skin problems, such as acne, rough skin, uneven texture, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, excess oil, dullness, etc. So no matter what your skincare issue is, the Clarisonic can help!
It’s no wonder why it’s the #1 cleansing brush out there!
While the Clarisonic is obviously a wonderful tool for your skin, using it the right way is crucial! You can actually do more damage to your skin if you use it in the wrong way. Because of this, we decided to put a list together of 8 things you can do to properly use the Clarisonic!
1. Be gentle. Make sure you are not pushing too hard when you use the Clarisonic! This could cause unwanted irritation and can damage the skin cells. Softy brush it against your skin in small circular motions. Start with 20 seconds on the forehead, 20 seconds on nose and chin, and then 10 seconds on each cheek.
2. Dry it off after every use. Each time you use the Clarisonic, make sure you dry it off. Just gently rub it with a towel for 10 seconds. This is really important, because it will keep it from getting bacteria or mildew! For that same reason, make sure you don’t leave it in your shower for long periods of time! And once a week make sure you take the brush head off and thoroughly rinse it in warm, soapy water. This will help it from getting any gross buildup, and keep it running smoothly. It’s also best if you don’t use any harsh chemicals to clean the Clarisonic.
3. Don’t use an exfoliating cleanser. You actually don’t even need to use an exfoliating cleanser when you use the Clarisonic, since it’s already helping to exfoliate! So using both at the same time…that’s a big no-no! It will cause too much exfoliation to your skin, leaving you with redness, irritation, and breakouts! Yikes! We definitely don’t want that.
4. Use the right brush head. The Clarisonic has several brush heads, some specifically for acne-prone skin, sensitive skin, or enlarged pores. You can find all of them here. To get best results from your Clarisonic, make sure you are using the correct brush for your skin type!
5. Take off your makeup before using. By taking off your makeup before you use your Clarisonic, you will actually get a deeper cleanse. Plus, it will keep your brush from getting discolored and help it last longer.
6. Change out the brush. Make sure you change out your brush once every 3-4 months. It will actually stop working effectively, so this is an important step!
7. Don’t over use. The Clarisonic is safe for daily use, by only use it once a day! Using it too often can cause irritation. If your skin is sensitive or you notice irritation/breakout try using it only 3 times a week.
8. Be patient! It’s takes time for you to notice the difference the Clarisonic is making! Your skin takes time to change! And because it’s cleansing so deep, using the Clarisonic can sometimes bring out lingering impurities. This can cause a few breakouts during the first few weeks of use. Then you will start noticing clearer, softer, more radiant and beautiful skin!
