Not soap single: in search of the perfect cleansing of the face - review

Yes, the name speaks for itself — about 3 years ago to wash with soap and water was for me a natural "caring", but if there was no soap, I firmly believed that the water has all the necessary cleaning properties. Since then, my godovoe consciousness has undergone some kind of evolution than it is today, I would like to share with you.

Perhaps it would have continued so to this day, and I would assume that uneven skin tone, patches and black spots should be taken as a natural given, like eye color. Until one day my face doesn't rebelled, and I closely got acquainted with drugstore cosmetics and Kosmetatou. Since then I have through trial and error I tried different tools, but today I would like to tell you about the three leading figures who for a long time stretch take pride of place on the shelf.

Cleansing system Clarisonic Mia 2 Sonic Cleansing System
Detailed view: the System is a waterproof brush with cleanser in the kit, which was sent to the bin after the first application my dry skin it was too drying and aggressive. I chose the brush head for sensitive skin (though my such and is not), I was attracted to the softness of the bristles of the cleaning head, they don't damage the skin, provide a great cleansing. I bought it a year ago rather as a curious toy, because when he saw her, remembered the opinion of some overseas bloggers about a similar system that is praised at least improving blood flow and nourishing the skin thanks to the massage effect. First "scrubbed" her skin morning and evening. This for me was still too much, so now I use it every other day. The brush has two speeds (I always have one), and also beeps when it's time to move from one zone to another and finish the procedure. Charges pretty fast (not timed exactly) and the charge me with this application for long enough.
For comparison: the bristles off/working condition
The first thing that struck me after its application, which is how color looks smoother skin and how much better ready to care. It seemed that from the face washed off a ton of excess, but a cotton pad with the tonic remained absolutely clean. Of course, from rashes and blackheads this brush I was not spared entirely, and certainly not for 2-3 applications. However, the General condition of the skin gradually became much better. Before writing the review, I conducted a little experiment — for a week-10 days stopped using all three described tools. The first thing is back to normal is redness and rashes under nose and small pimples on my forehead, which I imperceptibly forgot this year.
For me Clarisonic is one of the most gentle and soft cleansing of the skin, which I can use constantly, without fearing to injure the skin. In addition, looking at his slightly rosy cheeks after using it, I want to believe that the skin receives more oxygen and nutrients through blood flow. I would like to note, that massage her face should be gently, without pressing not to stretch or scratch the skin.

Soft cleansing foam for dry skin Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser With Shea Butter

A detailed opinion: This darling of the crowd in performance and the applause is not needed, so I'll be brief. Is a soft and gentle cream ivory with a nice unobtrusive(to me) smell of Shea butter. It's hard to call it foam in the full sense of the word, when in contact with water, special foaming abilities had not noticed, this is a cream that becomes more subtle texture in the application.
Usually I apply it on wet face and massaging, until you get bored (and not bored quickly). Also using it in tandem with the brush Clarisonic. I really like the cleansing which he gives, as well as gentle and mild care. However, it should be said that barely perceptible feeling of tightness on my face he still leaves, but compared to the other tested tools, this option is optimal for me, so this instance of my care for the third.
Use mandatory nightly as a cleansing and aromatherapy and tactile bliss :)

Daily scrub for face Care Neutrogena Clear Pore and Shine Daily Scrub
Detailed view: Apparently, this product is a debutant of Kosmetische — no opinion, nor in the Directory I can't find it (maybe just curves hands). But just in case composition:
Tool this appeared in my care by chance, and settled as much as 3 years — once I got it and I just really like the smell — invigorating fresh blend of lime and Mandarin, but it was used then once in a hundred years, so the effect of it were not appreciated. Only a year later, I tasted, and for two years he purposefully appears in my care.
The scrub is green-transparent plastic tube and is a soft white cream with a rather large green pellets. Upon contact with water does not foam, but is distributed and exfoliate with a Bang.
According to the manufacturer, the scrub is designed to tighten pores and eliminate Shine. I believe that every day it is more logical to use it with oily or at least combination skin, I just like the effect — the skin really feels and looks cleaner, more matte, and the pores (especially on nose) are visually Already and definitely cleaner. Use it one to two times a week and always in the morning, because this cheerful citrus aroma positive charges on the afternoon.
Price: about 9.5$

Of course, the search for the perfect cleansing, in my case, only in the middle, so it is possible that some of these beauties will have in the near future to move, but at the moment this is what really works for my skin. I hope that this post will be useful for some of you, dear ladies :)

  • As you described Clarisonic! Used to think that this brush is just a gimmick, and now I wanted to try, but as on my skin it will work?Thanks for the post
  • I think that would work well, but the effect will become visible gradually :) thanks for the read!
  • I also thought about buying Clarisonic. I like all sorts of "gadgets" to care for themselves and the idea that it is possible to clean the skin even better is very attractive. But: 1) against my beautician (I have very sensitive and prone to skin rashes, although it is time for it to calm down, age after all..). Said that any effect from this mechanical action and the inflammation can spread all over the face; 2) I heard an opinion that in the first weeks of use all problems worsen, and then pass. And I do not want to exacerbations; 3) the question of hygiene. A maniac of cleanliness, fanatically makeup brushes twice a day not to wash, but the brush cleanser from Shiseido threw in 6 months of regular use, as it seemed to me that she's already "stale") so Clarisonic nozzles must be changed frequently, not less frequently than once in three or four months (and any sponges), and they are sold separately? Actually, I wanted to hear your opinion on 2 and 3 issue. Thank you for the story, I was interested to read.
  • If you don't mind, just jump in))Your esthetician, I think, absolutely right. Strongly skrabut the skin — not to clean it better. In fact, well-chosen cosmetic care in most cases if you are not able to completely solve, then at least greatly minimize the problems and eliminate the need for such devices. Which in my purely personal opinion is the remnants of the last century, and cosmetology can offer a more adequate means and proceduresAbout the third question. Even if you change the nozzle, you can sterilize it in the beauty parlor. So all the germs and other nasty things will be there. Successfully spread through the skin and into the micro cracks, which in any case gives such a "sparing" procedure. So, if it really wants to do the brushing, make it better by a specialist with sterile equipment. This is my opinion of course.
  • Thank you for skliris) so it seems to me that Clarisonic in my case would do more harm than good. The beautician I trust her, she's a advanced girl but categorically against this kind of purification. My skin is tight, combined with individual, but almost constant rash. The age of 35 years, wrinkles no. But these pimples... Sometimes, as a teenager, I want to take something rough and RUB harder and then the "dirt" will wash off)), Though a head I understand that the reason not in it. So keep yourself in hand, don't buy Clarisonic or its analogues. But, curiosity does not rest here and read the posts about it with interest. Although, the price of the device is almost identical to the cost of one visit to the beautician, as I don't have to spend much more for the restoration of the consequences of their use. In General, I Clarisonic not to be)
  • Glad the post was interesting to You :) on item 2 — I do not remember such a reaction like, any large-scale eruption was not exact. Item 3 — I'm not a maniac, clean the brush after each use with an antibacterial agent and dried. Nozzle changed, I confess, after 5 months, as long-sought where to order them in your residence. In Russia exactly can be ordered on the manufacturer's website may in online cosmetics shops will be too.
  • Thanks for the reply! I'm afraid that after all Clarisonic not suitable for my skin. But I will continue to read about it, maybe someday curiosity will still overpower)
  • After reading your post, I can't resist not to make a few comments. Write not for the purpose you have to impose something, but simply to give food for thought so to speak Maybe someone she can be useful.1. Clarisonic is essentially the procedure of brushing at home. And it can be anything but definitely not soft and gentle in terms of cleansing. Any beautician will tell you that this procedure has its own indications and contraindications. By itself the device is not bad. But if you use it wisely. You have not specified what your skin type, but according to the text, I can assume that it is not oily and not combination. If the skin is normal and dry, then Clarisonic ideally, it is desirable to use a couple times a month, not several times a day, as recommended by the manufacturer. If the skin is problematic or sensitive, the brushing in General is absolutely contraindicated! And only for oily / Combi skin and it can be a good tool if you use it without fanaticism: and this not more than twice a week. The fact that after the abolition of this procedure everything is back to normal, might indicate a vicious cycle where the abuse this device gives a temporary positive effect, and what it can mean in the future — God knows from uneven complexion to rough skin. Luck, of course, if the skin has low sensitivity to external stimuli and there will be negative effects. And what problem do you solve Clarisonic? Clogged pores, excess sebum or something?2. Not umywalka to RUB until you get bored of such assets calculated mainly only on the cleanse, and not designed for prolonged contact with the skin because of the content of Surfactants and other not useful for the skin substances. This foam composition is no exception. So, if you constantly overdo — you do the skin more harm than good.Forgive that this sheet you dashed off
  • Thank you so much for passed by, I'm sure Your observations will prove useful to many when making the final decision :)Regarding the first point: to me as a layman it is difficult to judge how heated skin, appear microcracks, etc. To me care of "soft" for purely individual sensations after the procedure: there is no discomfort, stinging, redness and other mechanical damage. Treatment time — 1 minute all over your face, maybe because of this I don't have time to feel discomfort. I also like that the cleaning head does NOT rotate, and as it is pulsating, I can't click on it and do not feel the friction, the "scrabania". Concerning the abolition of its use here, I think, not a vicious circle, and the same factors that previously played a role: heat+makeup residue, street dirt and dust+the habit to touch the face in the places for this rash to thank me :)On the second point: I get bored pretty quickly, as it turned out — 2.5-3 minutes :)
  • Thank you for the detailed answer))
  • Thank you for the information!
  • I have Clarisonic daily thanks. Use it with the cashmere brush (it is the softest, reminds chicagoschool), dropped on it a drop of gel from La Roche a great, cleans perfectly, no rash, but before that I foam wash cosmetics. do not use the appliance on a dirty skin. My skin is Combi, wash this way for more than 2 years, things have only gotten better!
  • Yeah, me too! but not every day. Really like how leather looks after using it: fresh, clean, in good shape
  • But I do believe, girls, that perfect cleanser is a micellar water. It washes away the oil from the pores, does not dry the skin like gels can. I use Bioderma sensitive, striking, and after 2 minutes wash off thoroughly. Face cleared up. To use the gels and the skin is still dry and contracted.I advise everyone to try micellar.
  • I have had this macellaro, but she did not come to me, I have no idea why after using the skin turned pink and her "pinched", not much, of course, but it's not supposed to be? Thought at first that I got a counterfeit, but no — purchased elsewhere means the same effect was given, so stopped using it.
  • Macellari is not for everyone.
  • Very interesting and beautiful post, I read with pleasure. For I do not consider myself clarisonic suitable means, despite oily skin, prefer to use a MITT kese complete with Beldy or gommage.
  • Thank you very much! Oh, reminded me about Hamam in Istanbul, as I liked it! MITT kese use, but only for the body
  • Very interesting. I'd love to read!)The washroom from Clarens love for several years and don't know how old the tubes on the face ismalia For me she is the best!And clarisonic really want to try! Beckons me, this little device))) is that with clarocom use the brush from Shiseido, I love it!))
  • Thank you! Glad that you liked it!
  • If you overdo it with cleansing oily skin, it better not be, that's for sure. Once abandoned the excessive use of scrubs, gommage (replacing what in fact is Clarisonic), skin stopped being so sensitive and Shine was by far less.
  • Yes, measure is very important in any case. and, of course, to monitor closely the reaction of the skin.
  • I have the same foam Clarens, succumbed shares in Letual) bought the shade of Clarens, and came out with 2 jars-bottles clarance tonic with chamomile (did not match), will leave until winter, and facial wash. Enthusiasm about her experience. And generally strange why its called foam))) it leaves behind a feeling of Naumiestis, so I still use it after the foam Aven.All sorts of brushes, including Shiseido and Clarisonic, removed far away, I realized that not for my skin this execution, and a beautician when I found out that I use strictly forbade to even look towards such methods.
