After 2 weeks using Clarisonic mia2
So it’s been a few weeks since I started using mia2. Ive been using it once a day, at night time after I take shower.
I’m thinking about leaving the mia2 in the shower, but I’m afraid of breaking it… i am using a suction cup shelf for the shower, so I worry about that whole shelf dropping and breaking the mia2…
So I have it on the bathroom sink counter, right by my Waterpik 🙂 I have a little face towel underneath the waterpik ever since I found that it gets super nasty under those things if you don’t clean it often. (Yeah I know… I need to clean more often) it help to keep under the waterpik clean because the towel absorbs moisture, and I just replace the towel when I do laundry so it’s easy to clean.
And now this is a perfect place to dry my mia2 as well. I also take the brush head off after every use and dry them there too, because water seems to get stuck behind the brush and never gets dry.
Ok now here is my thought for actually using the mia2 on my face:
Sneezing
I still sneeze every single time! But it is getting better, or My nose is getting used to it.
At first I sneeze if mia2 touches any part of my nose. But now it’s only when the brush is on the base of the nose bridge.
And it helps if I stretch my upper lips down to stretch the nose… I’m guessing the muscle or skin around the nose area gets stretches and makes it less vibrated…?
Anyway the sneezing doesn’t bother me much since it really makes my skin feel cleaned.
Battery
I do use 5-10 seconds sneezing, so I need to restart the mia2 to get the whole face washed every time… But it’s just a push of a button, and I have yet to re-charge my mia2 since I first charged it (about 3weeks ago) so that’s pretty impressive. I can definitely take this to travel or road trip and not worry about charging!
Redness has reduced
I had redness at the base of the nose, and on my cheeks, but it has been reduced drastically. I am really surprised about this because I didn’t expect it to do that!
Pimples
I had 3 big red painful pimples pop up on the first week of use: one popped up every other day. I normally don’t get red pimples so it made me worry a little, but those healed within a week. On second week, I still got few pimples but those were small pimples that just pops and goes away in a few days. Right now I’m in a 3rd week, and I have no pimples but have few tiny bumps? (No red or white just kinda skin color but if you try really hard to squeeze you could probably pop them lol) Looking at the size of things popping on my face, it seems like my face is spitting out bad stuff gradually and maybe it’s almost done with it? I’ll continue using and see what happens.
Pores / skin
Looks like the Blackhead on my nose has been getting smaller, little by little. I had few bigger pores that were more noticeable than others, but right now it seems like they are all getting smaller and about a same size. I haven’t seen my blackhead look this tiny in years… I wish I started using this long time ago… they are still there, but I definitely have a hope that eventually they will all disappear with this mia2.
I did notice that my skin is peeling in some places, especially on my nose area and cheeks. But it’s not making me itchy or anything so I think they are just old skin peeling off.
Oil
Also the oil on my face has reduced a bit. I usually use the oil blotting paper in the middle of the day because my face gets super oily, but past week I noticed the amount of oil absorbed on the blotting paper has reduced. Like I can use one paper to almost cover the whole face instead of just my nose.
Summary
Overall I’m enjoying using the mia2, and will continue to use it to see my skin improve! I am excited to see my blackhead getting smaller, and was super surprised that the redness was reduced as well. I hope my sneezing will stop eventually, but otherwise I am very glad that I purchased this 🙂
