Clinique Sonic Purifying Cleansing Brush

This Clinique Sonic Purifying Cleansing Brush is the BEST thing in the world! When I first heard about cleansing brushes about a year ago, I was enthusiastic yet a bit skeptical - I mean doesn't get the brush dirty from leftover makeup? Because that makes it pretty easy for bacteria to settle and to completely get loose, isn't it?! It took me a year to finally decide to have this system myself and, well, it absolutely has proven my skeptical thoughts wrong.

I've always been taking care of my skin a lot. Every morning and evening I use face products such as a cleanser, a toner, and a face cream. I also scrub my face once a week and use GlamGlow's Supermud up to two times a week (read more about this product here). As if that wasn't enough, since a couple of weeks this miracle of a cleansing brush from Clinique has been in my daily skincare routine, I use it both in the morning and evening.

The first thing I do when cleansing my face is, of course in the evening, getting rid of all the makeup on my face. Then I wet my face and dry it with a clean towel. Now the fun part starts! I wet my face (again) and the brush with water, followed by applying cleanser (could be any of your choice) on the brush. After pushing the start-button I roll the brush, making round circles, on my face for one minute, making sure I reach all areas. Then I rinse my face and the brush with water (water is enough to cleans the brush, you don't have to use any antibacterial soap). I finish my routine with some toner and face cream which I apply on a slightly wet face for a better result. Every single time my face feels like a new born skin, it's so soft and clean. And believe me, I consider it clean when the cotton pad is left completely white after applying toner.

This brush comes with the standard green brush, but as you can see in the picture above I use a blue one which is especially for skin types that suffer from acne or blemishes. This brush is gentler and cleanses deeper. You can use the darker blue part  - or the rougher area on top of the brush - on the more problem areas, like the T-zone for example.    

What can I say? I'm in love with this brush. I've been using it for three weeks now and my skin feels - despite some blemishes - clean, soft and healthy. I honestly think that when I decide not to use this brush for even one night, I would still feel like my skin is not clean enough. Yuck, can't even think about that anymore haha. This thing will be in my life forever - and yes, I know that already.

So, what about you.. Are you familiar with cleansing brushes? If yes, what are your thoughts about it? If no, I can highly recommend you go to the shop immediately and get it yourself.. it will be life changing, I promise! Have a beautiful day everyone! :)
