Let me wax poetic about my magic loofah. No seriously, let me.

In some ways, I regret making what amounts to not only a non-fandom-related post, but a promotional post of a thing. But I cannot contain my silence any longer! I absolutely had to write something about this little device I bought about a month ago, that has literally changed my life.

I'm talking about my Clarisonic Mia.

I would have LOVED to try Proactiv were it not for the Benzoyl Peroxide allergy (seriously, it was bad... my face swelled up to three times the size and I couldn't breathe... but afterward my skin looked GREAT!), but I know that doesn't work for everyone, either.

You should be able to find Clarisonic in O-town if you can find a Sephora, which if memory serves they do have. Even if you don't buy one there, the staff are pretty knowledgeable about the product and can answer any questions you have. My only suggestion is that, because Ottawa is crazy dry (compared to Toronto at least... I used to love going to Ottawa and Kingston because my face would actually be less oily), be careful that you moisturize like crazy if you do go ahead and buy the Clarisonic. I think it's important to moisturize morning and night anyway, but my experience is that such thorough cleaning leaves you at risk for over-drying/over-cleaning your skin, which in turn will make it produce more sebum/zits like I mentioned in the post. It's been weird adjusting to dryness for the first time ever, but that seems to be a pretty consistent effect of getting your skin so much more clean. And especially with Ottawa winters, your skin will be crying out for moisture as it is!

Good luck, and I'm really glad this was helpful! <33333
