"I normally don&amp;#x27;t veer into the beauty territory (after all, what do I know about eyeliner and night creams; yep, nada!? I&amp;#x27;ll leave that to the fabulous Girls in The Beauty Department), but since healthy skin, admit it or not, plays such a role in self esteem, I wanted to tell you about a potentially life-transforming gadget (really) ... Something weird has happened to me in the past year: adult acne! Nothing major, but I&amp;#x27;ll go two months with stellar skin, then, BAM, suddenly I have a blemish the size of a snow-capped mountain and the self esteem the size of a pea. No fun! So, I heard about the Clarisonic skin cleaning system recently, tried it, and promptly decided that I&amp;#x27;d like to hug the founder. What genius! After two weeks with this new thing, I am happy to report that my skin is blemish-free and glowing in a way it&amp;#x27;s never glowed before. Wow. Wow. Wow. What is it? Think of a Sonicare toothbrush, but for your face. It pulses and vibrates to get your skin remarkably clean. Apparently dermatologists have used these for years, and now they&amp;#x27;re available to the masses (a little steep, yes--$199--but as Petra said, make it your birthday present this year!). Here&amp;#x27;s what she had to say about the Clarisonic: &amp;quot;Truth is, I am now pretty addicted to my Clarisonic brush, much as I am to the Zeno zit zapper and the Roomba robotic vacuum, two other newfangled gadgets I totally expected to be complete garbage,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I can wash my face normally using cleanser, then use the brush, and it will actually remove more makeup/dirt, visibly. Plus, it gently whisks away annoying little skin flakes, and the sonic vibrations are shown to help stimulate new collagen production--but in the meantime, they make for a nice little massage.&amp;quot; My skin is saying aahhhhhhhh! Have you tried this thing? Would you buy it? More reading: *Oh yuck! Guess what could be in your perfume .. *The beverage that makes you ... prettier?
