I just need to make sure I don't overdo. ;)<br /><br />The AHAVA mask would be a good option if you still need deep cleansing. I wonder how it would compare to the volcano mask you have. :)<br />And I've never heard of Foreo, but it sounds so great!! The new Clinique brush looks nice as well.

It's such a pain in the ass when your skin can react to basically everything under the sun!<br /><br />The AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask sounds very interesting considering that it cleanses and feels moisturising. I'm going to have a look into this one! <br /><br />I recently bought the Foreo after umm-ing and ahh-ing over the Clarisonic for years. Every brush from them feels too harsh for me! The Foreo is working really well for me! Some of the oil deposits underneath my skin have gone after 3 days! Whattttt - crazy, right?

I do love my Radical pads but wish they were more affordable or comes with bigger pads or something. They also contain other good stuff like anti-oxidants, but the key ingredients (acids) are mostly dirt cheap.

I try to stick to a gentle cleanser + muslin cloth for thorough makeup removal and some gentle manual exfoliation. Chemical peels with Philosophy products have also been doing a great job of keeping my skin clear and smooth. I just finished a package of weekly exfoliating pads and now I'm weeping because a box of those suckers costs $88.

I find I don't really need deep clean per say on a regular basis, could be because I use a retinoid at night and sometimes alternate with AHA.

I personally couldn't stand the Clarisonic gel cleanser and got rid of the sample tube after a few times. ;-/<br />I'd love to try the Tatcha powder but judging by the ingredients, it would be somewhat similar to the Dermalogica.<br />Having a schedule like this really seems to help me since random scrubbings could be dangerous(?). I often ended up using two physical exfoliators in a row or something, which is not good at all!Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-83395523699177803052014-10-13T13:06:52.796-04:002014-10-13T13:06:52.796-04:00I tend to be lazy about makeup but am fairly vigil...I tend to be lazy about makeup but am fairly vigilant when it comes to skincare. I was just sent the Dermalogica Microfoliant to review and I really like it so far. I'm wary of exfoliating because my skin is on the dry and sensitive side so I limit it to just 2 times a week and I only use my Clarisonic Mia a few times a week as well. <br /><br />Rowena @ <a href="http://rolalaloves.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">rolala loves</a>Rowena @ rolala loveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139269533873270419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-30942162775102831002014-10-13T12:45:22.289-04:002014-10-13T12:45:22.289-04:00I use my Clarisonic once a week, too, with my usua...I use my Clarisonic once a week, too, with my usual cleanser (just a non-irritating one from Neutrogena right now). Then I use my Tatcha rice enzyme powder once or twice a week, and I try to use my charcoal mask from Origins (tubes all the way! I agree) maybe every Sunday, if I remember. I do that before a shower, too, because otherwise there's just gray sludge everywhere. It's a hard balance! If we scrub too much, bad stuff happens. If we don't scrub enough, bad stuff happens.

To be very honest, I don't think the Clarisonic is a game changer if you are already cleansing your face properly. If the troubled skin is caused by inadequate cleansing, yes, it would definitely help (then so would others). I'm glad I've found a nice way to use my Clarisonic, but I don't see it as a must-have especially when I consider the steep price. ;)Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-64855358613734091382014-10-12T20:33:53.459-04:002014-10-12T20:33:53.459-04:00It is always quite puzzling to figure out how much...It is always quite puzzling to figure out how much is enough when it comes to exfoliations. ;)<br />I find the Clinique 7 day scrub a bit coarse but it is effective and its creamy base is moisturizing (if I remember it correctly) :)Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-4263516774574554042014-10-12T20:28:09.985-04:002014-10-12T20:28:09.985-04:00I too don't exfoliate enough, good reminder!

Since my skin leans dry, I don't use it more than a few times a week, usually before I get in the shower in the morning--it's so messy! I also try not to rub it too harshly into my face. <br /><br />Do you think the Clarisonic makes a huge difference if you don't have problematic skin?
