Mission Mommy: Chronicles of a Mom Blogger

While cleansing is the first step in any skin care regime, it is often overlooked. I know personally, as a busy mom, that I have let my skin care routine go. And, for many reasons. Some routines can be time-consuming with little results, others too harsh that I have no reason to use again. Many times I find myself washing my face in the shower or just splashing water to freshen up in a hurry.

But, with typical manual cleansing, dirt and oil are not as effectively removed and may become trapped in your pores and fine lines. Whether it is sun damage, drying detergents, harsh pollutants, or oil and bacteria, they are all doing their part to wreak havoc on your skin. Being young, I want to keep my the skin the way it is for as long as I possibly can.

You've more than likely heard of or use Sonicare. The lead inventor of Sonicare revolutionized the oral care market and is now redefining clean, healthy skin with Clarisonic. Clarisonic is the sonic technology proven to gently yet effectively loosen dirt and oil to clear your pores.

Clarisonic offers a gentle, effective way to clean skin without harsh chemicals. It leaves your skin feeling clean and fresh. Some products I've tried like this are to hard on my skin and leave my face feeling raw and puffy. Clarisonic is quick and fast, just what a busy mom needs. And, it does the job!

I have fallen in love with the new Limited Edition Clarisonic Plus. My favorite feature is the inter-changeable brush heads that allow me to go from a face cleansing brush to the body brush in a flash. The brush is ultra-soft, but durable. It's great for your chest, elbows, knees, feet, wherever you have rough, dry skin. And, it doesn't hurt!

Body Brush Benefits:

Fewer dry patches
Gentle exfoliation for softer, smoother skin
Firmer skin with improved texture
Great prep before applying self tanner

Taking care of my kids and hubby all day, I am a slacker when it comes to taking care of my own needs. I'm a minimalist mama, and Clarisonic has shined a new light into my skincare routine. My husband has said my face is as smooth as Allie's, and that is not a bad thing at all!

Drawbacks: The only bad thing I have found is the cost. I know many of us simply cannot afford an item like this. I myself would have never been able to afford one on a daily basis. But, the Clarisonic is worth every penny. Often you will spend a hefty amount on a product that fails leaves you disappointed. From my perspective, it is well worth it if you care alot about your skin.
