the sixth beauty must-have
People ask me every day at the store what my must have products are and I always tell them the same five products. Sure I get a new favorite here and there, but I have my fab five that I can’t live without. At least that’s what I thought. What I forgot about was something I use every morning and never think about as an essential element of my mornings. That’s because I have taken it for granted. I assumed after owning and using it for a year that it was just an ordinary part of my ritual. That is until I left it at my in-laws house by accident and went without it for a week. That’s when I knew that my Clarisonic was not just an ordinary tool, it was my skin’s best and most trusted friend.
Pores seemed to be enlarging before my eyes, little bumps creeped in around the sides of my chin and were those little white things in the pores of my nose always there? I wasn’t sure anymore. I hadn’t done anything different. I was still using the same products. It couldn’t be because I wasn’t using the Clarisonic…could it? Well, I didn’t even think to ask that. But after two weeks of having it back and faithfully using it again I realized one day that I didn’t see those pores as much. The little white bumps had gone and what white things in my nose?
So now I can tell you I have six products I can’t live without.
