Clarisonic Plus- reviewed and recommended

I used to be prone to breakouts on my back until I discovered regular dry brushing with the Clarisonic Brush, using the gray (firmer) brush head. Once I made it a habit – and I mean every day – bacne became a thing of my past. A few weeks ago, I was sent the Clarisonic Plus, which I was delighted to see has a new body brush.

The Clarisonic Plus has a brush head that is significantly bigger than the face brush and it is a special body mode. This simple upgrade makes body brushing much more effective and my skin is really liking it.

Not only is my skin clear, I am not getting that winter build up of dry skin. It used to be so bad that some days I would see masses of dry skin cells inside my clothes when I took them off at night. Yes, gross. But now no more.

Clarisonic Plus also has three speeds for the face and costs $225, compared to $195 for the Classic. I wouldn’t trade in your Classic if it is still going strong, but if anyone is considering a Clarisonic, then it would definitely be worth going for a Plus.

could not resist but to say that i LOVE my clarisonic for the face (the regular one), it helped me with my blackheads immensely - even my dermatologist asked him what have i done to improve my skin that much! Of course, i also follow Marta's recommendations on serums, cleansers, etc, so i cannot say it's all due to clarisonic - BUT it was a big part of my skin glow! thank you clarisonic! and my boyfriend who gave it to me as a present :). One word of caution - do not over do it - i stopped using it daily and switched to few times a week... find the right balance for your skin.

Marta- may I ask if you have any opinion on if its possible to over use the clarisonic? i LOVE mine, use it twice a day, and always have for the past 3-4yrs. I recently went to a skin training and the educator said she advised against the clarisonic stating that it causes over exfoliation and long term damage to the skin and dermis . I said "show me some damn proof before you open your mouth and make claims such as that! haha i love my clarisonic and recommend it to most all my clients!!" anyhow, what do you think? thanks!

Marta--I'm so sorry I misspelled your name in one of the above posts. It was a complete brain fog/typo sort of thing, as I definitely know your name is not Martha.

Being that you seem like such an open, friendly type of girl (note the brown nosing use of girl), I imagine it's not a big deal to you, but you have a gorgeous, graceful and unique name, and I just wanted to take a minute to apologize to you for botching it. Sorry!!

Thanks, Marta. While I've had the dry brush exfoliation technique used on my body, I haven't used it on my face. On the body, I can't say I'm a big fan (fingernails on a chalkboard type of thing), but with the face being a much smaller area, I might be able to muster the courage to give it a go. Regarding Clarisonic introducing cleansers later, considering that dry brush exfoliation was the trend in spas when the Clarisonic came out, it would make sense that it was initially marketed to spas that way.
