Going Sonic

I am honestly not a gadget-device-techie kind of girl, I am actually a big fan of  doing-everything-from-scratch-no-shortcuts.

I don't actually know what got into me that i decided to buy Clarisonic. I do not have skin issues, well neither do i have flawless skin, but i can honestly do away with face-washing, a little splurging on La Mer (Mica Tuano has great skin and she told me she's been using this) and philosophy products.  Aside from these two brands that i have mentioned, I confess that i have other tons of Healthy Options bought skin care stuff (by Alba and Avalon organics), plus special mention to emu oil as a must in my skin care regimen. (Okay, admittedly it's making me realize now that I am such a skin care junkie afterall!).

Well anyways, so i bought Clarisonic for my own vanity (it's pink!). I also bought extra pieces of sensitive brush. So what to do with the regular clarisonic brush head? i asked my husband to use the default (regular) brush! I observed that my skin got smoother, pores became smaller, no more dry and oily skin patches (i have combi skin) and my skin has never been this soft and healthy! Apparently, my skin care products are getting absorbed these days much easier! I guess it goes on without saying that no amount of "natural" or high-end skin care brand will make one's skin improve if the skin cannot absorb all the nutrients that these products offer. Thank heavens husband is so easy to coax in sharing my skin care regimen! (Even Cheenee, she wanted to use our clarisonic! Every night, whenever i will enter the bathroom, she would tell her dad "I will watch mommy wash face" then grabs her own kikay Clarisonic-like device. (Luckily, i have a Watson's facial massager at home and Cheenee uses it  to imitate what i'm doing)

Cheenee's clarisonic-like "toy"

From the website:

Clarisonic is the sonic technology proven to gently yet effectively loosen dirt and oil to clear your pores. The Clarisonic Skin Care Brush uses a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to clean, soften and smooth your skin. In just 60 seconds a day, the Clarisonic micro-massage action cleans more than twice as effectively as manual cleansing.

In addition to cleaner skin with the Clarisonic, you’ll notice a reduction in the appearance of pores, improved skin tone, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improved absorption of serums and moisturizers.

Clarisonic offers a safe, gentle and natural way to cleanse your skin without any harsh abrasion or chemicals.

Clarisonic

Husband has been battling pimples for the past years. It has dramatically improved for the past month: proper hygiene

Sonicare with Sanitizer

 (regular razor disinfection) and tea tree oil, but he still gets occasional pimples! Then he added Clarisonic to his routine. The result, no more occasional flare-ups, he has smaller pores and finer-textured skin! He has tried accutane and tons of derma products in fact. He is sooo satisfied with Clarisonic that he agreed with me to buy another techie stuff by Philips- Sonicare toothbrush!

Last November, right in time before our Braun electric toothbrush stopped working, we purchased Sonicare Flexcare with Sanitizer. I  will not opt to sound like an infomercial but i can only say good things about Sonicare. It is honestly worth every cent! Verbatim as per husband's feedback: "It whitened my teeth, ang galing luminis, really impressive!" I guess those two things are enough to call something a good quality toothbrush! Jethro, Henry and I have been using Sonicare all the time - of course we use different brush heads! hehe. Yes, i honestly noticed squeaky cleaner, whiter teeth and it can actually clean right up to the hardest-to-reach areas of the mouth! (i will stop now, i am sounding like an informercial) 

GHD IV styler pure

Now, only if i can figure out how to "share" with my husband another techie thing I am planning to buy soon..... this GHD. (I heard it's better than CHI flat iron and needless to say waaay better than my vidal sassoon flat iron)
