Clarisonic Skin Care Brush -
Brush Your Face Daily for Glowing Skin

You may have heard about or seen a device that brushes your face. It looks like a small handle-held massager fitted with what looks like a giant round toothbrush. Clarisonic Skin Care System® with its oscillating face brush has become wildly popular after Oprah named it as one of Oprah's Favorite Things® for 2007. Clarisonic® was developed by the creators of the Sonicare® electric toothbrush and it works in a similar way.

Why should you brush your face?

It may seem like an odd thing to do, but there are numerous benefits of daily use:

• Gently cleans pores and remove dirt (sebum) and makeup
• Shown to be 2 times as effective as cleansing by hand and 6 times as effective at makeup removal
• Leaves your skin feeling softer and smoother
• Prepares your skin to absorb moisturizers better
• Reduces dry skin patches
• Reduces oily areas
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles over time as it gently sloughs away old dead skin cells
• Decreases pore size
• For men, reduce ingrown hairs caused by shaving

The brushing system is meant to be used on a daily basis as part of your overall skin care program. It only takes about a minute and since the device is waterproof it can be used in the shower with a nonabrasive facial cleanser.

The only minor downside I see is that, just like a toothbrush, the brush has to be replaced every three months. The Clarisonic is pricey, about $195, but most people who use it -- especially Oprah -- love it. There is a 30 day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied. There are also some internet promos (see below) that may help.

The Clarisonic comes with a cradle charger that only needs to be charged every 30 uses. It is very gentle, so some people like to use it twice a day. It comes with a normal brush head and a sensitive brush head.
