Clarisonic Delicate Brush Head

         I needed to replace my clarisonic acne brush head, so I bought the delicate brush head as a birthday gift to myself. The acne brush head isn't bad, but I haven't really notice a lot of difference so I decided to go with another brush head. The delicate one seemed like a great choice because it is made for mild exfoliation and sensitive skin. I have acne prone skin so I don't want any harsh or rough brush heads. 

          I have been using this brush head since two days after my bday. On my bday, I wanted to try the brush head, but I forgot to charge my mia2 so I wasn't able to use it. Normally, I exfoliate my face three days a week and I think that's good enough for me. I notice that the brush feels just like my acne brush head, very gentle. When I exfoliate my face, I don't tend to press really hard because it might stress my skin out. I'm liking this brush so far and I do feel that its help a little if not a whole lot (in decreasing blemishes). 

It's The Time of The Year - Birthday!!

          The time of the year where I feel older and thankful for just being able to to breathe: my birthday. Birthdays are a celebration of birth and also the courageousness of mothers. I'm sure my mom went through a lot when she carried me so I would like to thank her for everything that I have. For the past three years, I've been splurging a bit and bought beauty products as a present to myself. My birthday is the only day when I feel like I should give myself whatever I want (of course with a limit). This year I had a belated cake because I couldn't celebrate the day of...Anyways it was a mini chocolate cake. My favorite food is chocolate so I would eat any cake with chocolate in it :)  Also, the presents that I bought came in belated too. Technically, I got cake and presents the next day instead of the day of.

            I bought myself the Tarte amazon waterproof clay liner in bronze (ran out of it during the summer) and a replacement brush head for my mia2. Since it was my birthday I also got a makeup forever gift set ( mini lipstick and mascara). Then, my sister bought me a little Josie Maran argan skincare ritual for me :)) I felt so happy even though I got them not on the exact day. Thanks little sis!! Can't wait to use my presents^^ 

            

Clarisonic Mia2

          I have had my clarisonic mia2 for over a year by now. Wow, time really flew by fast. There are always ads in magazines on clarisonic and it presents research on how effective it is on cleaning your skin. So, I did have my eye on clarisonic for a decent amount time because I have acne prone skin and have always been seeking ways to improve my skin. It took me a while to buy clarisonic just because of the price. Clarisonic arrived on the day of my birthday and I remember how excited I was to try it. I bought the clarisonic mia2 in pink with the sensitive skin brush head. Originally, I wanted to get the clarisonic with an acne cleansing brush head, but I decided not too since the price of it was higher and I know I can buy refills. I remember reading reviews about the sensitive brush head, which touched on how the sensitive brush head was harsher than the normal brush head. When I tried using my mia2 the first time, I tried to not push it hard against my skin since I have never tried it before and because of the reviews. The brush did feel quite rough the first few times, but I gradually got used to it. Also, I did breakout after using my mia2, but then again my skin didn't breakout as much gradually. I use my mia2 3 days a week because it is an exfoliating cleanser. My usual routine after using the cleanser is to put on a mask because it exfoliates my skin so I think it would help my skin absorb better. I noticed that the cleanser opened up my pores, which made it easier for my pore strips to pull out the blackheads. The directions for the cleanser states that you can use it when showering, but I never did that. I guess I just don't like to do so much things during my shower. 

              Not long ago I was able to buy the acne cleansing brush heads because of my part time job. This brush head is definitely softer than the sensitive one, which I had no problem with. So, was clarisonic mia2 effective in improving my acne prone skin? I have to say that every time I use mia2, it makes my skin feel smoother. Also, I feel that it helps to clear the dirt and dead skin cells from my skin. Although I still have acne, I kept on using this cleanser because I know my acne can be caused by other factors like bad sleeping habits. This cleanser might not work for everybody as I too don't know the real results from using this cleanser (not a scientist). Everyone's beauty routine and habits differ so I would suggest to be open minded to try new things. 

            

P.s. I really like the green color though :)
