Yes, Mia owns a Mia2… and yes, the brush head looks dirty on
the picture.
The Clarisonic brush has been around for a long time; there
has even been released newer brushes since. Also there are brushes from other
brands, like Foreo’s Luna and Clinique’s Sonic, coming out in these times. I
decided on the Mia2 after trying it, reading many reviews on all the brushes
and evaluating I didn’t have a need for the upgraded Mia3 / Aria brush. I tried
Clinique’s brush as well, though I found it too rough for my skin, and Foreo
hadn’t come to Denmark at the time, so it wasn’t possible to try it. So, there
was a lot of consideration involved!
The brush is supposed to be for normal/sensitive skin,
though I can definitely say I don’t agree with the sensitive part of it. It is
simply feels too rough against the skin, which can make it red and irritated if
used to often. If you have sensitive skin, I would suggest buying the brush for
very sensitive skin; I will purchase that one when I have used this brush head
up.
The brush heads are recommended to be changed every third
month, though if you don’t use it regularly I would guess you can easily wait
and go with every sixth month. In that time you can look for offers, so you can
get the head for a cheaper price. That is definitely my strategy.
I don’t believe the brush is meant to be used every day if
you have sensitive skin like me because the skin will get irritated with the
overuse of the brush. Even if I had the even softer brush head, I wouldn’t use
it every day. Instead, I use it every time I am in the shower, washing my hair,
or if I have been wearing a lot of make-up and really want a clean face. So,
every third to fourth day… and that suits my skin just fine.
In the package from Clarisonic the brush, the normal/sensive
brush head and a charger is included, along with a travel cover for the brush and
a mini of the gel cleanser. The charger snaps magnetically on to the brush when
charging it, which is so practical and fuss-free. The travel cover keeps the
brush protected from other things in your suitcase or toiletries bag like dirt
and leaky make-up when travelling with it. Again, it is practical as it really protects
the investment you have put into the brush. The mini gel cleanser I am not an
immediate fan of; there are better gel cleansers on the marked than this.
Despite the critique I have given, which I feel is needed
when the Mia2 is so expensive and such a purchase requires a lot of thought and
consideration, I absolutely love it. I love it to pieces – hands down! It
cleans my face much better and deeper than I would ever be able to do myself
manually. It really gets the dirt out and clears it from my skin. Afterwards my
skin is so smooth and even without any bumps, which was hard to believe at
first, but… I am loving that look and feel of my skin. It comes to look much healthier,
which I appreciate, as I can look rather sick at times. I really wouldn’t want
to be without my Clarisonic.
Do you have a Clarisonic or anything similar? Or have you
ever considered purchasing one?
Until next time,
Mia ♥
