Sometimes it really is worth making an investment in your skin - spending a bit of money, particularly if you have problem skin, can really be worth it in the long run, especially if you combine it with the other tips I'll be covering about eating right and exercise. To make sure you are spending your money wisely, I will be featuring skin care buys I think that are worth splashing the cash on.
My recommendation for this week is a gadget rather than a cream - the Clarisonic. For anyone who hasn't heard of it, its basically a brush for your face which pulsates sonically at a rate of 300 oscillations per second. And why would you want that done to your face? Well it removes dead skin, dirt, cleans pores and removes oil like nothing else can. If you have problem skin at all, particularly issues with spots and oiliness I really think this is well worth the investment. To use it you need to remove your makeup first and then apply cleaner to the brush, dampen your skin and gently move it around your face in slow circular motions. It takes about a minute and works very well with gel like cleansers, for example with the Clinique liquid soap we covered in a previous newsletter. The results are just brilliant - it cleans six time better than manual cleansing, skin is incredibly soft and products are better absorbed afterwards. For the first couple of weeks after you start using it you might find that your skin breaks out as it gets a good deep down cleanse and all the impurities are removed but you should see a real improvement in clarity and tone after that initial phase. Clarisonic is available from Brown Thomas and costs 149 euros.
