We’re down to just over a week until Christmas, and it’s officially crunch time. I don’t know about you, but I still have about a dozen things on my to-do list- from baking cookies to finishing shopping to doing a whole lot of wrapping. With so many things to do this time of year, it’s easy to get so swept up in the holiday madness that you forget to take care of yourself!
When I’m stressed or busy {or both, as if often the case}, one of the first things that I let go is taking care of myself. Whether that’s skipping haircuts or wearing the same chipped polish for three weeks, I tend to put the things I need to do for others above what I need to do for myself, and I’m done doing that!
Even with a packed calendar, I’ve been committing to finding little ways to find time for myself. In some cases that means taking ten minutes to sit down and watch Instagram stories, sometimes that means taking the extra time to do my nails every Sunday, and lately, it’s meant taking literally one extra minute at night to take care of my skin!
I was recently sent the Clarisonic Mia 2 and was asked to give it a try. I was immediately excited about it because it’s one of my absolute favorite colors {a beautiful light purple!}, which of course doesn’t affect how well it works but does actually make me more excited to use it. The next thing that surprised me was the way it charges- it comes with a cord and I couldn’t figure out where to plug it into the unit, so I looked at the instructions and realized that it attaches to the front via magnet! Doing this allows it to be fully waterproof, which means you can use it in the shower for added convenience.
Now the color of it and the charging method are fun, but in the long run they don’t matter if the product doesn’t perform. Luckily, it absolutely does! So what makes the Clarisonic Mia 2 so special? It cleans your skin six times better than hands alone and is the #1 most recommended skin device by U.S. Dermatologists.
The Clarisonic Mia 2 is a cleansing brush that’s gentle enough to use twice a day, though I’ve been using it once a day and it’s been doing such a great job that it’s all I need. That said, my skin is dry/normal, so if you have oily skin you may benefit from twice a day cleansing- you know your skin best.
So have I seen a change since using it? Absolutely! I shared recently that I had found a moisturizer that had made my skin healthier, and I still swear by that. But I still struggled with blackheads and while the moisturizer had made my pores less noticeable, I could still feel them and they were typically pretty blocked. Since committing to using the Clarisonic Mia 2 every night, my pores have been so much cleaner and my skin’s texture has even gotten more even. Using the Clarisonic Mia 2 to deep clean also allows that moisturizer {and other skincare products} to work even more efficiently. I also just feel better knowing how clean my skin is. It also just feels nice to spend a minute- again, literally one minute- each night focusing on nothing but myself!
If you still don’t know what to ask for for Christmas {or you have someone on your list who could use a way to treat themselves}, consider the Clarisonic Mia 2! The Clarisonic website has awesome deals right now so be sure to check that out.
