I hate my skin.  I hate it.  I’ve always had oily skin, which my mother tells me will greatly benefit me when I’m older, because I’ll get fewer wrinkles but I am so self conscious about the way I look that I wouldn’t ever let anyone (friends, boyfriends, husbands, etc lol…) touch my face.

A little while back, I had the opportunity to review the Clarisonic Plus Skin Care System & Spot Therapy Kit which was created by the primary inventor of the famous Sonicare toothbrush.  The Therapy Kit is pure heaven.  You can check out that review here.

If you read me often (or at all, which you must since you’re seeing this), you may know I travel constantly.  I’m either at a conference or headed back up North to visit my family and it’s a little hard to bring the kit along with me.  The kit is for the face and body, so I keep it on the charger in my bathroom and use it when I want to give myself the extra lovin’ I deserve in the bath or shower.

Lucky for me, the good folks at Clarisonic noticed the amount I travel and asked if I’d like to try out the Mia.  Here’s a product overview-

Make a “skinvestment” for the New Year with the new stocking-sized MIA.  Well suited for travel or everyday use, Clarisonic is offering free personalization and free gift ($65 value) with purchase if you order through Clarisonic.com.

Lightweight and compact, Mia gently and effectively cleanses your face at home or on the go. Mia is perfect for wherever life takes you – at the gym or while traveling. The one-button, one-speed, one-minute Mia offers quick results that complement any skin care ritual leaving skin looking beautifully healthy.

Mia’s unique compact pLinkâ„¢ power link charger magnetically attaches to the handle and allows for a full 20 minutes of use.  The rechargeable brush is completely waterproof, making it perfect for use in the tub or shower.  Brush heads are interchangeable with other Clarisonic skin cleansing models. You can make Mia your own by imprinting the handle with your name or personalized message at Clarisonic.com.

This little cleanser is fantastic!  I can pack it in my bag and go and I find myself using it quite a bit lately, especially since my hysterectomy has made my skin worse.

Enough about me, it’s time to treat YOU!  Clarisonic wants to pamper YOU!  They are offering one lucky reader a Limited Edition Clarisonic!

The product features a classic rose and lilac paisley print detailed on the outside of the unit that is unique to this model, and 50% of the profits from the Limited Edition Clarisonic goes to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to fund the fight against breast cancer!

The Limited Edition model features the same technology as the Clarisonic PLUS that I reviewed before, with three speed settings plus a Spot Therapy mode to take deep cleansing beyond the face to care for the body.  Simply swap your facial brush head with the new Spot Therapy Brush, and the smart handle will automatically shifts to “spot” mode for areas like the décolleté, elbows, hands, arms and knees.   With Clarisonic’s gentle sonic vibrations that rotate at 300 movements per second it cleans deeply, clearing pores and removing six times more makeup than manual cleansing. The Clarisonic PLUS reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, creates softer, smoother skin, helps reduce oily areas, dry skin patches and blemishes, and is gentle enough for all skin types.
