It's True, They Are!

I've been wanting to create a blog for some time, but have never been able to narrow down a focus. I'm always torn between blogging about makeup and skincare or about more intelligent things. I've now decided that I can do both! This blog will serve to educate the masses about all kinds of things--the latest in lipstick, what you can do to help your local library--but specifically the things that matter most to me. On that note, I will always be available to answer questions or offer advice, so don't hesitate to ask me anything! I will not claim to have the answer to everything, but I am always here to help. On to the...

Topic of the Day: The Clarisonic Skincare System, or How My Skin Got So Soft and Clear So Fast!

I recently purchased a Clarisonic Plus Skin Care System from Sephora. Yes, I know it seems like a lot of money. I find it quite worth it. As a licensed esthetician, I can tell you that I've never seen cleaner skin than after using this product. My pores are staying cleaner, my skin is less oily, and the texture of my skin is like velvet.

There are a couple of different options when purchasing the system. I purchased the "Plus" model, which includes a brush head and exfoliating cleanser for the body. This is great if you get dry, flaky, or scaly skin anywhere on your body. It's especially helpful for those with keratosis pilaris, those red, rough bumps you may get on the backs of your arms or in other places on the body. I am finding that I could have gotten by without this model, since I am more interested in the wonders this thing performs on my face. You also have the option of purchasing the original model or a new travel model called Mia. Try checking out Clarisonic's website or Sephora.com for more information. As always, if you have any questions, let me know!
