I debated long and hard with this installment of
the Clarisonic diaries. There's been a Clarisonic-buying trend at Sugar headquarters, and we all unanimously agree that it's improving our skin. When we congregate before meetings, we talk about our deep and abiding love for the gadget's pore-shrinking, skin-softening capabilities.
I finally invested in the
Clarisonic device that Bella has been raving about and rushed home to try it, only to find the instructions suggest charging the device for 24 hours before its first use. It was the ultimate
luxury gadget letdown — all I wanted to do was test it, and I had to wait patiently.
Most battery experts claim you can prolong battery life by charging them fully before their inaugural use.
Now that I've been using my
Clarisonic ($195) for a few weeks, I think it may be time for an intervention. As dorky as this sounds, I now look forward to washing my face; the brush just leaves my skin so soft and smooth that it's hard not to get hooked.
Unfortunately, I learned a lesson the hard way.
There are two beauty gadgets people usually ask me about: No!No! and Clarisonic. As far as No!No!
The inventors of the infinitely amazing Sonicare toothbrush have now brought us the
Clarisonic Sonic Skin Care Brush Kit. This cleansing brush is extremely gentle on your face, so you can use it everyday, even if you suffer from acne or rosacea. The super-soft bristles oscillate at 300 movements per second to open pores to remove dirt and oil.
