Clarisonic Mia 2 Review.

I had been looking and drooling over the clarisonic face brushes for months. I had done all my research, read some reviews, but couldn't get over the hefty price tag for a facial cleansing brush. I had first heard about the brush when reading an interview with Kate Walsh. She swore by it, so I looked it up. When I started reading about it, it sounded amazing, and I'm not the best at washing my face so I thought maybe this would motivate me. Well, the only bad things that I noticed about this brush was the price tag. The cheapest one is $125, and the most expensive one is $225, the brush heads are also kind of pricey at $25 each.  I finally asked for the Mia 2 for Christmas which is priced at $150, and it's absolutely amazing. 
The Mia 2 has two cleansing speeds, Universal and delicate. I normally use the delicate in the morning when I first wake up or am in the shower since normally all I have on are my night creams, and then I use the universal at night since I might have makeup on, have my day creams on, and I do more during the day than when I'm asleep. I don't know that it makes a difference, I could probably use the universal both times a day, but this is just my way of doing it. 
The Mia2 also has a pulsing t-timer which is fantastic. The brush automatically shuts off after one minute but with the timer it pulses at 20 seconds to remind you to switch from your forehead to nose/chin, then again after 20 seconds to switch to your cheek, and then after 10 seconds to switch to your other cheek, and then after 10 more seconds it switches off. You can do another round, but I always just stick to the one minute unless i'm continuing onto my neck. 
My Mia2 is easily my favorite facial product right now. I have large, dark pores on my nose and I'm seeing a little bit of improvement after just two weeks. I've tried the biore pore strips and even those don't work so this is very exciting for me. My skin always feels super soft after using this because it does gently exfoliate so they tell you to cut back on the exfoliating products that you use because you can over-exfoliate. I'm only using a exfoliating mask once a month now but will continue my Origins Clear Improvement mask once a week since it's just a clearing mask. Makeup does stain the brush heads a little, but I take my makeup off with this (except for my eye makeup) because I personally like to see what it gets off, although I might start using a makeup remover wipe, to see what gets left behind. I do feel that it's worth the money though, and it's so easy and fun to use. It takes a minute to clean my entire face, and I honestly just feel like it's so much cleaner. I hate to clean my face but now i'm cleaning it twice and day. I'm seeing small improvements and I would recommend this product to anyone. 
I would compare all of the clarisonic brushes before purchasing. At first I wanted the Plus, which is $225, but then after thinking realistically and debating it, I narrowed my choice down to the Mia 2 because it would ideally and realistically be the best for me and I don't regret my choice at all. I would rather invest in a great product, than to invest in a cheaper version that doesn't last as long. If you're debating a clarisonic purchase, make the jump. Take the leap and welcome yourself into the world of sonic cleaning and fresh skin.
