Do you wash your makeup off then use the Clarisonic to really clean your skin or do you just use the Clarisonic? I know this probably sounds silly but just curious. I feel like I need to wash my eye makeup and foundation off first.

I don't because I don't wear a lot of makeup, but Lisa R recently said during an on-air presentation that she does. It's probably OK if you are careful not to dry out your skin.

I use Purity to remove my makeup first, using my hands. I then follow up with my Clarisonic, using either another pump of Purity or a different cleanser.

I use a neutrogena wipe first to get most of my makeup off, and then I follow up with the clarisonic. I wear quite a bit of makeup (I have some melasma) and I feel like my face gets more clean doing that. If I didn't wear that much makeup, I'd probably just use the clarisonic.

I just upgraded my Mia with the Mia 2 from the TSV - love it!!

I wear a lot of foundation, too - due to rosacea and melasma. I also wear "full eyes" - including eye liner, eye shadow, and mascara. I agree with shoppingirl when she says she would probably use the Clarisonic as her only step, if she didn't wear so much makeup. This is what I do on my off days, when I'm bare-faced.

I use a Kirkland's facial towelette to get my eye makeup and most of my foundation off before using my Mia...I use Cerave hydrating cleanser or Roc foaming face wash.

I use Purity with My clarisonic and it does an excellent job. The only problem that I only have is with my mascara. I usually end up having to use some sort of makeup pad over my eyes.

I remember Lisa, said that she has to do that, because they use such heavy studio makeup.

I like to do a quick wash before using my Mia, I feel like if I don't when I see all the make up on the brush that I'm just moving it around.

I always use some jojoba oil on my eyes too, it seems to cut the mascara off easily.

I use a towelette like neutragena if I have makeup on. I use mine usually in the morning so I don't have to do that.

OK thank you, Most days it wouldn't be an issue as I only wear makeup to the office. But when I do it's kind of a lot as my skin is bad and I use IT full coverage. I would probably do the mini wash off then the Clarisonic. I'm getting another one and keeping it this time. I didn't think it was "all that" before but I really need one and sticking with it this time.

Thanks for your input.
