All Eyes On Her

I was so antsy for Clarisonic cleansing after I spotted my tax return deposit in my bank account. So I called Nordstrom to see if their shipment had by chance come in over the weekend, and lo and behold, it had! So of course, I scheduled the rest of my day around my purchase.

The bummer about this device is that you have to wait a full 24 hours for the thing to charge, before you can safely use it. So cruel! It’s not fair to make me wait after I paid that much. But the good thing is that this allows me to more fully research exactly how to use this alien device.

Thankfully, EDS already gave me some help. A thread about which cleanser to use with the Clarisonic was particularly helpful, since I know I won’t wind up using the stuff that comes with it. (Surprisingly nice in texture and ingredients, but still too synthetic for my natural tastes.) And it turns out there were a few prior threads on this, too.

Yet another good thread (h/t Rachel) gives some general usage tips that may seem obvious, but apparently weren’t obvious enough to make it into the usage manual. I particularly like the point about doing your forehead last so you don’t have cleanser dripping into your eyes the whole time.

Here’s hoping this post can help guide anyone else who’s gone Clarisonic crazy, or at least answer a few questions that Phillips may have neglected to address.
