1/10
Expect breakouts on initial use
If you are a first time user, you might find that you are breaking out upon initial usage. This is nothing to worry about for the first few days as this is caused due to the stimulation of the skin. It causes bacteria to rise to the surface of the skin resulting in the formation of pimples. Simply use the device once a day and you'll notice the breakout clearing up in a few days.

Use an adequate amount of cleanser
Fill the inner circle of the device with cleanser measuring up to the size of a quarter.

Change your brush heads regularly
It is very important to change your brush heads every 3 months to prevent the build up of bacteria.

Choose an appropriate brush head
Choose a suitable brush head for your skin type and remember to not apply too much pressure. Individuals with acne-prone skin types should go for the Mia 3 model with the Acne brush head.

Clean your brush head
As much as you are constantly washing your device under running water, it is important to cleanse your brush head ever 3 days with shampoo. This removes any traces of oil residues or cleanser build up.

Don’t neglect your neck
The first signs of aging appears on the neck. Use your Clarisonic to give your neck a good scrub.

Do not double exfoliate
As the brush head already helps with the exfoliating action, avoid using products with harsh micro beads. This prevents any unwanted skin abrasion.

Rinse well
To get the ultimate cleansing action, be sure to soak your device well and splash your face with cold water to create a base for your cleansing product to lather onto.

For sanitary reasons, each user should have their own brush head in the event of sharing.
