Since several PSers are new Clarisonic owners, I thought it might be helpful for them to see how we use ours, what cleanser(s) we use with it, etc. Also, for those of us who have had a Clarisonic for awhile now, this might give us some new ideas! So, please post your routine, and also let us know what type of skin you have.
I''ll go first! My skin tends to be oily and congested, especially in the T-zone area. (Clinique says I''m a Type 3.) Here''s my routine, which I do every morning and every evening:
1. Rub Clinique Take the Day Off make-up remover onto my whole face (not just eyes) and tissue off. Rinse with warm water. (Of course, I skip this step in the AM since I don''t have make-up on.)
2. Wash my face with a washcloth and Clinique Liquid Facial Soap for Oily Skin (this is Step 1 of Clinique''s 3-Step System). Rinse with warm water. (I probably don''t really need to do this step, but I have an irrational fear that I need to get all surface dirt off before using the Clarisonic, or the Clarisonic will just work it deeper into my pores! LOL!)
3. Use my Clarisonic Pro on the highest and longest setting, with the Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Cleanser. (I only use a little bit of cleanser . . . I just wet the brush and then put a dab of cleanser about the size of a pea right in the middle of the brush, where the "hole" is in the bristles.) Rinse with warm water.
4. Follow with Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3 and Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel (Steps 2 and 3 of Clinique''s 3-Step System). I also use Clinique''s Turnaround Concentrate (LOVE that stuff!!!) and Clinique''s Repairwear Eye Cream.
I''m liking the Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Cleanser, but I''ve been thinking of trying some different ones just to see how well they work. Biore has a few cleansers that look like they might work well with the Clarisonic. I''ve tried using the Clinique Liquid Facial Soap with it, and that works pretty well, but it gets REALLY lathery!
