I don’t need to tell you I’m obsessed with facial care. I whip up homemade beauty recipes at least once a week: yogurt face masks, carrot facials, you name it I’ve tried it. I’ve also tried practically every product on the market promising to make me 17 again.
Hint: I’m not going to be 17 again. Ever.
For a few years now I’ve had the Clarisonic in my sights thinking it’s exactly what I need, the secret to amazing looking skin of women everywhere! I’ve been coveting one of those whirring face brushes which is, I know, #10 on the list of no-no’s from on high, but it’s true. I covet. A lot. Sometimes.

So a few months ago while wandering around Costco, as one does, loading up on 6-packs of deodorant and ginormous bottles of vitamin C, I ran across the more budget friendly version of the Clarisonic: a face brush by Olay. Since I’m such a huge, huge fan of Olay I snatched one up for under $30 and took it home for a test drive.
This thing is a game changer.
Seriously my skin is amazing when I use the face brush regularly. It’s waterproof so I can use it in the bath or shower, either with the facial cleanser it came with or my favorite, favorite, favorite (favorite) luxurious facial scrub Strivectin.

Guys, the secret to amazing looking skin? It isn’t so secret anymore.
