My New Love: Clarisonic Mia 2

Ah, the Clarisonic. Every time I think my love affair is ending, it just reels me back in! I love every product in the line, but recently, I've been consumed by the Clarisonic Mia 2.

The Mia 2 is similar to the original Mia, with the same sonic cleansing benefits you'll find in any Clarisonic product. But the Mia 2 has three major differences:

1) This version features 2 speeds. This way you can customize how much cleansing you really want to do. I'm definitely a fan of the lighter speed, since my skin is so sensitive, but those with more acne or dryness would do better with the heavier one.

2) The Mia 2 has a 1-minute pulsing T-Timer. Gone are the days of wondering if you've each part of your face ample time with the Clarisonic! Varied amounts of time, split by a tiny pulse, allow you to devote accurate time to your cheeks, chin, forehead and nose.

3) The Mia 2 comes with a protective plastic carrying case. Finally! For the frequent traveler, this was a necessary step in taking the Clarisonic to the next level. The Mia 2 fits perfectly into the case and stays clean and ready for each use.

In other words? Your skin will thank you.

The Clarisonic Mia 2 retails for $149 at beauty.com.
