This is not a paid review. This is me, having a conversation with my girlfriends, about an amazing product.
I have “really” good skin.
Or, I should say, I had “really” good skin.
Since my teens, I have been blessed with skin that doesn’t get very many pimples, whiteheads, or blackheads. I realized how blessed I was in my early 20s and did my best to protect my skin with Cetaphil Face Wash, SPF moisturizer, and night creams.
But earlier this year, my face’s chemistry started to change. I was experiencing breakouts, hairline acne, and deep blackheads. My skin care and makeup regiment hadn’t changed, so I blamed weather and hormones.
I did my best to not pick at my face and prayed it would get better.
It didn’t.
Fast forward to the summer and desperation because I had tried everything and nothing was working.
I saw my best friend from college and her skin looked amazing. And this is a big deal…because she has fought with acne, breakouts, and pimples since I’ve known her. (And that’s a long time at this point in my life.)
I asked her what was the difference. And she said, in these exact words, “Clarisonic. Best Money I’ve Ever Spent.”
So I purchased a Clarisonic Mia at Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale in August.
And, thankfully, my skin is back to it’s normal “amazingness”. And my girlfriend was right, because it is the best money I’ve ever spent.
In fact, I’ve converted my friend Ann to it. She’s now a die-hard user like me.
Why am I telling you all of this? Because “skin care” isn’t something that women share in their daily conversations. And I’ve shared in my everyday makeup tips, if you don’t start with good skin, your makeup will have a hard time looking good.
