Why I got the Clarisonic Pro & what I love about it!
Ever since I first got a taste of the Clarisonic Pro during a recent professional facial, I knew I wanted needed this tool in my life. Something about the intense pulsations made me feel like I was experiencing something special. I proclaimed my adoration for it in an earlier post and, as we all know, it would only be a matter of time before I finally got my hands on one.
The process towards finally making my decision to purchase took a little longer than I thought. Â I kept debating whether it was logical from someone who owned a perfectly functioning Clarisonic (classic) to got out and purchase another one. Â Allow me to go through my thought process and reasoning with you.
Reason 1: The Cost
On the one hand, I paid around $ 225.00 for the Pro on Amazon, which may seem pretty expensive. Â But, on the other hand, my original Clarisonic cost $200.00 plus tax when I bought it several years ago. Â So, in essence, this better version of my Clarisonic only cost a few bucks more. Â May I also add that prior to buying my old Clarisonic, I fooled around and got some $40.00 one at Bed Bath and Beyond. Â I had to replace that thing a couple of times. Â My Clarisonic, however, has been with me through thick and thin and still works like the first day I got it. Â I appreciate the level of quality I get with this fine piece of electronic artistry. Because of that, I consider the measly $200.00 an investment in my skin rather than a cost.
Reason 2: Â The Extras
On its own, the Pro Version of the Clarisonic was a good buy. But then I think about the added bonus of the body brush and it blows my mind. Â You all know that I'm a huge fan of exfoliation and circulation. I've written on it several times. Â This perfect little professional machine comes with an extension and a larger brush, that allows me to deep cleanse my shoulders and back in the shower. I suspect it can also be used on the thighs to improve circulation and ward off pesky cellulite. Â I've tried it a few times in the shower and, let me tell you, this thing is just perfect. Â I like that the shower setting doesn't have the timer beep so you can concentrate on certain areas for as long as you need. Â Another thing I like is how easily I can convert it from my facial tool into the shower brush with just a few small adjustments.
Reason 3: The Benefits
Speaking of exfoliation and circulation, my primary motivation for saying "yes" to the pro was the intensity of the rotating brush. Â On the pro-setting, the brush cleanses your face with a bit more vigor. Â The reason I love that is because I believe that my skin is getting deep cleansed, while receiving a greater level of exfoliation, and (don't quote me on this) I think the Pro has the ability to stimulate collagen production creating firmer skin. Â I say this because the intensity of the cleansing promotes greater blood flow to the face. Â We all know that only good things can happen when our face is receiving increased blood flow.
Something very interesting happened the very first time I used the Pro on its highest setting. Â The next morning, upon looking in the mirror, I noticed that my face appeared oily. Â Back in my younger days my skin tended to be oily, but as time went on, my oil production seemed to stop causing me to have somewhat dry skin. Â But, whenever I experienced a deep cleansing facial, or when I received my peel from Lady Dee, suddenly oil production increased. Â My theory around this is that surface layer dead skin was effectively removed, allowing my natural oil production to reappear. Â In the past, only major treatments had the power to do this. Now I have the ability effectively exfoliate on a regular basis. Â Imagine what that could mean for my acne scars.
It's also comforting to know that the Pro has several settings for those of us who would like a less intense experience. Â For instance, I can use the Pro setting once or twice a week, when I do my in-home facials. Â Or use the highest setting only my acne scars to promote increased circulation there. Â The possibilities are endless. Needless to say, I'm overwhelmed with happiness about my new buddy. Â I have absolutely zero regrets except of having wished I gotten it sooner.

Glad you're enjoying your upgrade. I bought the PLUS back in July and love it! I still need to get the extension handle though, along with a Mia2 for travel. I'm a Clarisonic fiend now! LOL.
