The Gift of Perfect Skin

Jennifer — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 03:30:45 +0000

The first time I heard about Clarisonic was from Terri Lawton, facialist to the stars, during an appointment which I’d magically secured while in LA two years ago. She recommended Clarisonic for all of her clients and thought it would do really well in my Edmonton shop. Ten months later, we received our first shipment. It promptly sold out.

YOUR CLARISONIC SONIC SKIN CLEANSING SYSTEM

The frenzy continued through December, with Clarisonic’s Sonic Skin Cleansing Systems being our best-selling gift. Why does everyone want one?

1) Clarisonic uses sonic power to shake that gunk right out of your pores, including stubborn old comedones.
2) It removes 6x more makeup from your skin than manual washing does.
3) It provides the sest exfoliation you’ll ever experience at home.
4) This mean fewer fine line
5) and more rapid cell-turnover
6) which means more even skin colour
7) (like, zits fade faster).
8) Super clear pores absorb serums and moisturizers better so they really get to work
9) giving you more bang for your buck.
10) And finally, you’re skin will look and feel plumped up and firmer with an incredible glow.

Never in the history of LUX has a product been so immediately and passionately embraced by the staff. Listen to the raves:

“I LOVE Clarisonic!! I’ve NEVER recieved such huge pay off for such a small amount of effort from any other product before. AND it makes all my other products work better!!”
“Pretty, portable and effective. I’ve never had people tell me I have beautiful skin until I got my Mia. I can never go back!”
“Before Clarisonic, my skin has never been so clear and smooth! My makeup sits better on my face too!”
“I love how Clarisonic makes my skin feel soft and smooth with a radiant glow, but most of all I love not being surprised by random breakouts every day!”
“Clarisonic has 1000% transformed my skin. Makes my other skin products work better. I will never stop using this.”

I know that our upcoming Clarisonic shipments are going to quickly sell out. Avoid disappointment! We’re placing our last pre-Christmas order on November 30th.

Clarisonic Brush Head 101

Sarah — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 08:00:28 +0000

Have you ever wondered which Clarisonic brush head is the right one for you? Let us help you by breaking down the details, so you can break down those clogged pores and fine lines with the maximum efficiency.

Normal: The perfect balance for skin that’s happy most of the time. Scruby but gentle, this brush is great for everday maintenance and regular glow.

Sensitive: This brush is typically the one that comes with your Clarisonic – with a plush base and gentle bristles, it’s a great beginner brush that eases your skin into sonic cleansing without being harsh or irritatitng. Excellent for easily irritated complexions or post-facial pores.

Delicate: For the most sensitive of the sensitive. Extra soft bristles will keep your face clean without being abrasive. Skin can be exfoliated without being rubbed the wrong way, and this brush is up to the task.

Deep-Pore: For congestion, enlarged pores and extra oil production, turn to this mega-bristled brush head. Gentle enough for daily use on normal skin, it works hard to unearth those hard to clean spots and is a favourite for anoye looking for a fresh start.

Acne: The newest addition to Clarisonic’s brush head line doesn’t disappoint. Extra plush with nice soft bristles, the acne brush is safe for even sensitive or broken out skin. Breakouts are eliminated faster, without hard scrubbing.

Remember to replace your brush heads every three months to keep your Clarisonic at its most effective, and prevent bacterial growth. Your skin will thank you for it! Happy Sonic Cleansing!

Ready, Set, Glow

Has the change in our Canadian seasons left your skin looking dull? An easy fix is a date with your favourite exfoliating product to scrub away dry patches, dead cells and congestion, enhance your moisturizer, and increase radiance in one easy step. Here’s the must-know on low maintenance, once-weekly radiance revealers:

Chemical Exfoliation

A chemical exfoliant gets the job done by utilizing gentle, skin-friendly hydroxy acids to munch away at dullness and loosen up stubborn cells. Look for key ingredients like salicylic acid, fruit enzymes, glycolic acid or lactic acid. Chemical exfoliation is a great option for those who like to kick back, relax and save the scrubbing for their Clarisonic. We are big fans of REN‘s super gentle, super effective exfoliation treatments, which use varying levels of papaya enzyme, vitamin C and citrus fruit extracts to get the job done. If you’re sensitive, treat your skin to the F10 Smooth and Renew Mask, which pampers skin lovingly without harshness. For those with normal, oily, dry or mature skin, turn to the Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask. Both masks are “wet” masks, meaning they work fast, don’t dry out your face (no “tight” feeling!) and are just as easy to remove as they are to apply.

Manual Exfoliation

When we say “facial scrub”, manual exfoliation is what we’re really meaning. These dull-skin solutions use a physical abrasive to resurface your complexion, and integral components tend to be ingredients such as micro-beads, apricot kernel, almond shell, sugar, rice, or salt. Manual exfoliation is a great option for those who like instant gratification, are constantly on the go and are the type who like to take matters into their own hands – literally. Those with sensitive, mature skin can scrub away with the FarmHouse Fresh One Find Day Shea Sugar Flawless Face Polish, which is formulated with super hydrating shea butter, a big dose of vitamins and gentle buffing super-fine micro sugar crystals. For those with normal or oily skin, one scrubby superhero is B.Kamins’ Bamboo & Rice Facial Polisher, which retexturizes and refinishes with finely milled bamboo and tiny rice beads without drying you out or abrading your complexion.

Even if you already use a Clarisonic, detoxing and clarifying your complexion with additional exfoliation products goes a long way towards revealing your natural glow. Just be sure not to overuse – exfoliating once or twice a week is just enough to keep your skin happy without stripping away moisture of causing irritation.
