Back around my birthday in February, I decided to splurge a lot little and get myself a treat. Something small and pretty that would help me feel my best, especially with a wedding on the horizon. What did I get? Behold the Mia:

The Clarisonic Mia! I’ve been drooling over it for, oh, a year, and with a little bonus I got from work, I decided it was time. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the foresight to take some before and after pictures of my face, and I’m not sure I really want to get all up close and personal with all of you like that!

Anyway, I got it in pink, and it’s very cute and portable. It comes with the “sensitive” level brush, which has worked well on my skin. I was afraid I’d need to get the delicate brush, but this is just fine. I use it according to instructions once per day, usually in the evening before bed. I’ve noticed that a lot of my smaller breakouts have stopped, though I’m still sprouting the occasional stress zit. I also found that a lot of the blackheads on my cheeks and right across the bridge of my nose are smaller. The only issue is I have them pretty bad on the end of my nose and the vibrations make me sneeze when I use the Mia there, haha.

Overall, I think it’s been helpful for my skin, though I think it should be a little less expensive. If you’re looking for a skincare splurge, it’s a nice tool to have!

Have you tried the Clarisonic Mia? How has it helped your skin?
