Beauty Bit, Fall Skin Redo

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

As the season changes, so does my wardrobe and as my wardrobe changes with the seasons, so does my skin care routine. Colder weather means drier skin, or at least for me it does! With that said, I have to make sure to keep my skin looking and feeling dewy. One of the best ways I work on achieving that goal is by keeping my routine hands free, or mostly hands free which means having an arsenal of brushes and sponges around to keep my face from picking up any unwanted extra oils. When it comes to my makeup routine it's makeup brushes galore (more on that soon!) but for washing my face one face towel just wasn't enough. That's where the Clarisonic Mia 1 comes in!

When I watch the Victoria's Secret fashion show,  I always tend to wonder how the models get their skin so runway ready, fun fact, some of the models actually swear by using their Clarisonic Mia brushes to get the job done. That was all the info I needed to ensure me that trying out the Mia 1 was a great idea! When I wash my face with my hands, often I feel like I haven't gotten most of my makeup off or the sweat from the gym session, which then leads me to reach for the towel to get the rest of the gunk off. Usually rubbing a towel on my face makes my skin sensitive and dry, never  a good feeling!

Using my Clarisonic Mia 1 brush makes my skin feel clean and rejuvenated after each use, it's not harsh or abrasive just soft and caring. The Mia 1 comes with several brush heads to suit your needs, the radiance brush head, deep pore brush head, and the acne brush head. Each brush head ensures that  your skin gets the care it needs without having to run to the drugstore to get rid of whatever skin emergency you might be experiencing. My favorite one to use is the deep pore brush head because it truly gets deep into my pores to refresh my skin. Clarisonic's cleansing method removes 6 times more makeup than manual cleansing with your digits, helping to increase product absorption into the skin. The result is always softer, smoother, more radiant-looking skin everyday. The brush uses uses gentle sonic oscillation technology which means you don't have to push down hard on your face. I use it with the Refreshing Gel Cleanser, add a dime sized amount of it on the brush head, turn on the device and then proceed to gently move the brush head in small circular motions and keep the bristles flushed to the skin. I like to spend 20 seconds cleansing each part of the face, cheeks, forehead, chin and nose. Do this twice a day and viola, Victoria's Secret angel worthy skin worthy results! 

I've been using this method since October and have been loving the outcome the Mia 1 has been giving me. I used to wash my face twice in one sitting to get rid of my makeup but now I don't have to. Buildup is the number one reason your skin might not have that "glowing from within" dewy look, it's also the reason that you might be enduring blemishes and dull skin. Break the habit and try the Clarisonic Mia 1 cleansing brush, I can finally say goodbye to my harsh face towel!
