The Best Facial Cleanser Brushes

Hey everyone!

     I was on the Sephora website today and I came across the Clarisonic Mia 2. I remember when the whole idea of a facial cleansing brush came out, and I was really questioning the whole "toothbrush for your face" concept. Now that I have looked into the best of this category, I am truly amazed by the advanced technology that has been put into all of them. This post is to help you decide on a brush, or just learn some facts about these!

The first brush that took the market by storm is the Clarisonic Classic. This is the original Clarisonic brush. The idea behind the Clarisonic and all brushes is to give a deep cleansing scrub. If you are set on the Clarisonic brand, they have a ton of different brush heads specially designed for your skin concerns. All of the system's brush heads spin around 300 times per second, pulling anything harmful out of your skin! The Classic is amazing, but the only downside is the high price tag. The Classic is priced at $195.00, but it will last you a lifetime.

If you want a Clarisonic but you are not too happy with the Classic price, the Mia might be a better option. Personally, the Mia is my favorite. Out of all of the qualities that I love about this, the main one would have to be ease of use. The Mia 1 and 2 both have the brush heads that you can choose from, so that is another added benefit. One thing to keep in mind with any skin cleansing brush is you may not like the first week of using them. I was really worried when I started breaking out after using it, but after a frantic trip to Sephora, they explained to me that it is washing up everything that is clogging your pores. I was new to the whole beauty world at the time, but I did know that all of that would rise to the top of my skin eventually, so better now then later. The Mia 1 is priced at $119.99, and the Mia 2 at $145.99.

The next brush is the Olay Pro-X Skin Cleansing System. For the reasonable price of $29.99, this does a decent job. When I first tested this out, I was pretty happy with it, but I was curious about the bristles in the head of it. I was looking around for what they used in it, and I could not find anything. I know this isn't a huge issue, but I didn't feel the deep cleansing part of it all. It did a great job of cleaning my skin, but the results didn't last. If you are interested in a basic model, this would still work for you.

Another option is the Sonic Dermabrasion Exfoliating brush. This is a great product for those who do not have sensitive skin, but for anyone who does, I warn you, it is very exfoliating. The key to getting any product out there is obviously advertising, and I have learned that a company can find a disguise for any flaw.  This was really harsh on my skin, but I have a friend who loves this. Nothing can get to her skin though, so it is a good match for her.

Some people want something for their face and body, so I decided to throw in another option. This is the BriteLeafs face and body ultra clean brush, and it is, how do I put this, special. This brush comes with four different brush heads, one of them being a pumice stone for your feet. If you are looking for something that will work for face and body, this has a brush head for everything.







     Those would have to be the fan favorites of the skin cleansing brushes. Also, don't let the "skin breaking out after a week" thing completely scare you away from the idea, it went away after a couple of days. It is like breaking in a new pair of heels, the first week might not be too fun, but you are left with a pair of amazing heels for the rest of your life, making everything worth it, trust me.


Sorry if this post has any typo's in it, this is my third time re-typing it because it keeps disappearing on me. I am officially saving this in a couple of different spots, but I will check over it again in the morning. Make sure to follow if you haven't already, and feel free to ask me any questions in the comments or email them to me at foreverfuchsia@gmail.com. Make sure to tell me in the comments what you think of these brushes, and thanks for reading!

My Skincare Routine

Hey Everyone!

    I have been obsessed with my new skincare routine, so today, I am finally going to do the post on it! This is one of my favorite types of posts to read, so I hope you all enjoy! I have been testing out a ton of new products, and I have come across my routine that is actually working for me. Here are my favorites!

In the morning, I start off with my Neutrogena oil free acne wash. I apply this before I even go downstairs, it is like my form on coffee! This cleanser really wakes me up because it has a really nice fresh grapefruit scent, but applying this first gives it a bit of a kick start.

 Next, I like to apply a bit of my Clean and Clear morning burst facial cleanser. Okay, I know I just hauled this, but I promise, I have used it before! Incorporating this product back into my routine has really improved the look of my skin, it has a slight brightening effect to it. I like to use a couple of different cleansers that have different ingredients in them because they will target any skin problems when used together.

After that, I am going to use my favorite toner, which is the Clinique clarifying lotion. I must admit, the name for this confused me, because it is not anything close to a lotion. Even though that may be slightly misleading, it is still an amazing product! I just apply this with a cotton pad all over my face, and it is really refreshing. Out of the four options for this toner, 2 works best for me, but I would recommend testing them out. If you are trying this product for the first time, your skin might feel a little bit tingly. I love it, and it let's me know that the product is working!

Next I want to use something that will work on my skin while I am wearing makeup. Knowing how to cover up blemishes is essential, but you run the risk of clogging your pores. Knowing how to treat your skin is the key, so for this step I am using the neutrogena 3 in 1 treatment cream. This helps prevent your skin from breaking out as well as treating any current problems. I like to think of this product like a heat protectant for your hair, if you use heat on your hair, it an cause split ends, do why not try and protect it? Wearing makeup can clog your pores and in some cases cause acne, so why not do something to prevent it?

Some acne prevention products can be drying, so it is important to moisturize as well. Some people think that moisturizing is the cause to any imperfections, but dry skin can cause them as well. I am going to use a lighter moisturizer, and my favorite of the moment is the Clinique moisturizing gel. Also, when blending any product into your skin, pat it in instead of rubbing. Any form of tugging at your skin can cause pre-mature wrinkles, and since I haven't started using any age prevention products yet, I want to be as careful as I can!

The last product I use in the morning is to treat my undereye circles. I don't know if this counts as a skin are product, but I apply it before I out any makeup on, so I am putting it in here! I love the Clinique under eye roller for many reasons, but mainly because it reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.









Those are all of the products I use in the morning, so these are the ones I use at night! The first product I use at night is my Aveeno positively radiant lathering cleanser. This is so inexpensive but it works so well! This takes off all of your makeup and works into an amazing lather.

If you ever get dry patches of skin, an exfoliator will be your new best friend. My favorite is inexpensive and effective, and it is the St. Ives apricot scrub. This stuff is amazing, I use about a dime sized drop and my skin is really soft after using it. I prefer to apply this in the shower because it will wash off easier and it will turn into a rich cleanser after you rub it in.

My last product that I use at night is my Clinique Turn around overnight moisturizer. I have been absolutely obsessed with this ever since I first tried it! My skin is has this glow to it without being oily. It is a little bit pricey, but a little goes a long way.







And that is my routine! I know it looks like a ton of products, but this is what I have been using!

Picture Perfect!

Hello Readers!
Instead of having to go out and spend a small fortune on skin care products, use these tips and tricks at home to get clean, glowing skin!

1. Healthy, natural food is good for your skin. Try to avoid having too much junk food, because junk food is really greasy and that grease can get on your face and cause acne.
2. Try to drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated. Doctors reccomend at least 8 glasses per day.
3. Exercise lots. But when you are done make sure to rinse off your face using warm water.
4. The sun is good for your skin, but not too much sun. So if you are going out into the sun for a long period of time use sunscreen with a Spf of 15 to 30.
5. If you have acne, blemishes, or dark spots, put lemon juice on them. This will clear them up.
6. Instead of having to coat on the concealer, put cucumbers over your eyes for a couple of minutes to clear up dark under eye circles.
7. Remove all makeup before going to bed.
8. Wash face using soap and warm water before bed. I suggest using Dove soap. Their soap is really gentle  on your skin but it cleans really well.
Thats it! I hope these tricks and tips help you get glowing and healthy skin!
