Exfoliating the skin regularly by using a gentle facial scrub is an essential part of a proper skin care routine but there are times—when you don’t have the time!
Skin Tip: Instead of using your facial scrub at the sink, keep it in the shower and use it as your morning cleanser 2-3 times a week. Most facial scrubs contain cleansing ingredients in them, so there is no reason why it act as a cleanser and scrub-in one.
We LOVE our Mint Buffing Beads and Dual Enzyme Softening Peel.

Comments:
It is not uncommon for the Clarisonic brush to cause breakout activity. Using it twice a day (which you read in my review) is way too aggressive, even though the company suggests it. We suggest using it no more than 2-3 times a week, but for some, it’s just not a fit for their skin.

Just read your comment on the clarisonic. I also purchased a Mia and before had very sensitive and clear skin except for discolorations. I am now having breakout that i have never had before. Why does this happen! I emailed the Clarisonic people and they say that the dirt and oils come to the surface after you stimulate the skin causing these breakouts. I have been using it twice daily. What to do? I do like the way my face looked and felt before I began to breakout.
What to do?????
