PLEASE READ ME!
UPDATE November 2019: This video continues to get views and comments, and I want to address that many of you have pointed out that what I'm showing could be bacteria or soap buildup instead of mold. I did my best to research what it could be before I filmed, and mold is what I landed on, but I'm not a medical expert. This was one of my very first videos and I haven't watched this video since I published it in 2014, but I still stand by the over-arching message that you should take yours apart and give it a deep clean every week. Thanks for keeping it civil in the comments...
For more information and another gander at the moldy photos: brokeforbeauty.com/2014/08/04/...
***To deal with my pink mold, I let the top part of the handle soak face-down in some anitbacterial dish soap and water overnight. In the morning, most of the mold had gone away, but it wasn't quite as good as new. Use 3% hydrogen peroxide for more effective sanitization.
ALSO I didn't mention that you're supposed to clean out the brush and handle with soap and water weekly to prevent buildup!

the "pink mold" is actually calcium from harder tap water. where I live it's everywhere, shower heads, water taps, everywhere. it's not mold though. it's perfectly fine

@astrea79 8 лет назад

+applesandoranges244 Is hard water bad for your skin?

@saigewhite2196 8 лет назад

+astrea79 no just a bit drying

@mywingsareyours 8 лет назад

+astrea79 it's just water with lots of minerals

@peachy75019 6 лет назад

+applesandoranges244 I was thinking the same thing. And it could also be residue of the foundation she is removing with the device.

@lalarenbrie7218 5 лет назад

applesandoranges244 thank you!!! I was annoyed by that.

@tiagomotta8720 9 лет назад

despite what they say in Clarisonic's manual, In my opinion, exfoliate your skin two times a day (even mildly) is a crazy thing to do. the skin has to have time to recover the natural oils to stay healthy. Definitely does not seem a good idea to clean the face with Clarisonic and then put on makeup, clogging the pores all over again, and then having to make an even heavier cleaning at night to remove all the makeup used. Our skin is a living thing and needs to breathe and rest just as we do.

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

Tiago Motta You're right. I do like to skip days here and there (I also don't wear a full face of makeup every day). I mainly like it at night after having had makeup on, because the Clarisonic always seems to find more!

@tiagomotta8720 9 лет назад

***** Yeah!! i think this is the right way to use it. Once a day, at night is perfect, this way your skin get through the night breathing well. I use mine just 3 times per week and it's great for my skin. xoxo...have a great weekend!

@ingainge3146 9 лет назад

Would you suggest getting Clarisonic?:)

@tiagomotta8720 9 лет назад

Grace Jones I think shaving everyday is crazy, at least here in Brazil, men shave just twice a week. I never use razors, i work the trimmer on my facial hair and that's enough for me, but i guess men are getting clever about facial hair cos each day i see more and more men who don't shave at all, they're just growing a beautiful and stylish beard. About make up, i fear the future for those women who don't leave the house without make up on. I've been noticing more and more young women of 20/25 with lines and even wrinkles and that's just the beginning, cos as you said, the formula of these products bring really bad stuff for our health.

@tiagomotta8720 9 лет назад

***** Yes. Clarisonic can be a good ally to keep your skin clean, but it has to be used with caution cos i've seen people who got crazy with it (i mean, using clarisonic 3 times per day) and got the skin bruised and brittle. the most important thing about skin products and devices is that we have to know our skin very well so we can identify what is doing good and what is not.

@oliviastrees 8 лет назад

+LX X which clarisonic do you have?

@ixchelaguilarcampos3893 7 лет назад

LX X hi, how Long take yours to charge ?

@xlx077 7 лет назад

Clarisonic Mia

@xlx077 7 лет назад

IT really depends, if the battery is all ran out, it usually takes about 4-8 hours.

@ixchelaguilarcampos3893 7 лет назад

LX X I run out completely and I have the smart profile, I have it for less than a week and I charge it for 24h the first time.

@AM-nj2it 7 лет назад

Just ordered a Mia 2 yesterday and am so glad I found your video! Lots of great tips to keep in mind and if anything you're helping to ensure we have the best experience possible with the product. :)

@victoriahollis 5 лет назад

I have had my Clarisonic for 9 years and I still only charge mine every like 2-3 months. I use it twice a day as well.

@bethknapp5838 8 лет назад

Scrub it with a baby toothbrush (they are smaller to get into the tight areas) and spray with alcohol and leave to dry.

@neonlacee 7 лет назад

I ordered my first Mia last weekend, and am awaiting delivery - I'm so glad I saw your video, and thank you for these tips! Especially about the mold...I would never have thought of that before I saw this video!

@rachelrosen5501 8 лет назад

Ok, no. The Clarisonic does NOT "pull" matter from your skin. Only things that cause cell turnover are actives, BHA AHA and RA. If the Clarisonic is causing you to break out it's not for you!

@idou 8 лет назад

+Replicant Rachel That is not true. Do your research. Many have broken out at first, but then it clears up and they say their skin is better than ever, and no breakouts. If you're still breaking out after a while using it, then it may be the cleanser, the water or the brushhead that is too harsh. Many ways to make the clarisonic work.

@veekay1693 8 лет назад

+Rachel Rosen  It is the brush head type that can cause breakouts. If the brush head is not the right type for one's skin type, it will over-exfoliate, which leads to the skin produce more sebum to compensate, which results in breakouts. Use the cashmere or delicate brush heads, and you should have no problem. ~Vee Kay, Licensed Esthetician

@rachelrosen5501 8 лет назад

I have a clarisonic. I know what it does and doesn't do.

@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co 6 лет назад

Nopi It can’t pull things out. It has no way of pulling things out. Do YOUR research, and don’t confuse cynical marketing lies for the truth.

@sherylking9837 6 лет назад

The woman in this video knows nothing and sounds like she just made a bunch of stupid assumptions and made a video for YT bc that's what the loudly uninformed like to do these days lol

@heather23renae 8 лет назад

Leaving it out to dry overnight with the brush head off should be plenty to dry it out and keep it sanitary. I'm sure that it's just calcified water deposits. You could try soaking just that part of it in vinegar for about 20 minutes, that should clear it out. Vinegar is EXCELLENT for hard water deposits.

@ShesDopeLikeThat 6 лет назад

you can take that white plastic ring off inside the handle to do a deep clean. that info came from a clarisonic product trainer.

@marinapaez-johansson4312 8 лет назад

Thank you for the info and great 3 points. I. Have happened to have done cleaning of the brushes, taking them out and turning machine down. My husband and I have two different types of clarisonics and we love them. Very helpful, please feel better.

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

SarahClose1 I'm so glad you found this helpful! If you take really good care of your Clarisonic from the beginning, you should be able to avoid some of these issues.

@hierbajal9950 7 лет назад

I just got one and I'm glad I see this useful vid. Thank you.!

@ttlovesyooh 8 лет назад

Your skin doesn't "purge" then get better. That's completely untrue. You need to clean your clarisonic before each use if you want to prevent breakouts

@wwheresyou 8 лет назад

+ttlovesyou well if you watch other beauty gurus on youtube that have tried and reviewed them, a lot of them do say that you do break out before your skin clears up.

@ttlovesyooh 8 лет назад

they all say that and they're all wrong. thats not how skin works. ask a dermatologist.

@shuggaqube 8 лет назад

+ttlovesyou You do have a point. I remember watching Wayne Goss (makeup artist) and he got the same problem when he was using one particular brush head, I can't remember which one. His dermatologist told him the same thing you're saying..it doesn't get worse then get better...so we went back to using his original brush head and never had a problem again.

@parisrousseau9561 7 лет назад

Wayne's skin issue was with the deep pore brush. I was thinking of ordering the deep pore brush last night, remembered watching his video ages ago. So I watched it again, I'm sticking with the sensitive brush head.

@Joy-qs6vc 6 лет назад

I'm not sure what dermatologist you are going to, but your skin does purge. I've been on accutane 3x each time my skin got worse before it got better because it "purged" Clarisonic does the same thing brings all the dirt up to the surface of your skin

@2klatte 8 лет назад

That pink stuff is not mold -- its mildew.

@Slimelover-sm4xc 7 лет назад

New sub; thanks so much for this video! This really helped me, I was about to get one, and I got an alternative instead. I have had it for a week now, and I don't have many of these problems YET. Thanks so much!

@mahricrawford9837 9 лет назад

why can't you just put it on the charger after every time you use it??? it's not that complicated lol

@idou 8 лет назад

+Mahri Crawford Yeah, 'cause that won't minimize the battery life at aaaaaall.

@mahricrawford9837 8 лет назад

+Nopi if you put it on the charger after every time you use it, it won't matter how long the battery life lasts cause you'll be charging it the whole time ur not using it

@LongLiveNikki 8 лет назад

I agree, doesn't seem like a problem to me

@evicaf4e 7 лет назад

if you do this and dont let the battery empty itself, you minimize the battery life even more!

@mirandapelletier8114 6 лет назад

That a really quick way to kill the battery. Come on, learn your science.

@corielle3337 8 лет назад

Just bought a Mia2 and this has been really informative. Thanks!

@TheBohemianStyle 9 лет назад

I think this is a great video and the battery life problem is new to me. The very first one lasted me years! I think all the latest models were designed not to last. Great video!

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

Chris Harrison Thanks! I definitely think the more recent cheaper lines are not meant to last too long, but I have the Smart Profile now and it seems like it's going to last twice as long as my original Mia.

@robbiem1976 7 лет назад

You are right! I have had mine for 7 years and was working perfectly until I dropped it... The company is totally making them to stop working around the two year mark. It's all about the $$$.

@sarahharris7929 8 лет назад

Mine grew toxic black mold and I couldn't get it out so I had to get a new one. :'( Keeping the brush head separate all.the.time. is imperative.

@michelelee9009 6 лет назад

Late on the bandwagon🤷🏻‍♀️, but I finally ordered mine and it should be here tomorrow. I’m so glad to have seen this informative video. Thanks for taking the time to give us these helpful tips.

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

+Chris B. Haha no problem. Glad to contribute!

@helonohara 9 лет назад

EXCELLENT video, very interesting information, specially the tap water thing! I've had my clarisonic plus for 4 years and only now it started showing battery problems. The difference, I suppose, is that I keep it in the charger all the time. I use it and put it back on the charger. I've read about people who had problems charging it in the first couple of months so, maybe keeping it on its charger can help improve battery life

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

hnohara That's an interesting idea. I've heard that doing that can actually make the battery worse faster, but it seems like that isn't the case for you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

@lockergr 6 лет назад

I hadn't considered that deep cleaning with my terrible water would be bad. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I haven't really noticed any problems with my skin though, as I always seem to have acne but then I always have been showering at this same house. And that same pink bacteria grows in my shower and sinks as well. I used to think it was mold too but it's actually not and you can look it up on Google and there will be some University papers and some scientific papers on it. Basically I use rubbing alcohol in mine but on the one occasion that I did have that pink bacteria, I ended up throwing out my brush head and putting bleach into the base of my Clarisonic. Never again have I left the brush head on after using it. I wash it out every time while I'm still in the shower and wash the brush head as well and sit on the side of the shower to dry.

@bazooki666 7 лет назад

Thank you for your video, I wilk check the hardness of my water, as struggling with my skin at the moment. Great insight!

@rachelrosen5501 8 лет назад

The pink mold as you call it is NOT calcified deposits. Do people read? It's a bacterium called Serratica Marcesens. It's in most water, and is not something you can prevent with water filters and such, the only thing one can do is have a tungsten rod installed in the hot water tank. I

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 8 лет назад

+Replicant Rachel Thanks for this comment. For some reason I'm only seeing it now. I've gotten many, many comments telling me what it is or isn't. Serratica Marcesens was casually called "pink mold" in a lot of what I read online before making this video, and it seemed a likely culprit. Whatever it is, it's gross and I don't like it in my Clarisonic! I wish people would focus on THAT more than telling me I'm wrong! lol

@beautytalkwithsam 8 лет назад

Great video!! I've had my first Clarisonic mia (just got a new one for Christmas) for FOUR years and I love it but I've never had the battery life get worse on me though. I always try to rinse out that inside part under the head but never think to dry it except for only when I charge it. i'm definitely going to be doing that now lol.

@laricewilcox5344 6 лет назад

thanks for this vid...just got my mia2 in the mail and was concerned about the excess water left behind post washing, but overall, I'm in love with my new face brush!

@lillianflores1499 9 лет назад

@farahzehra6040 8 лет назад

OMG just saw your video and immediately ran upstairs to see my clarisonic and YES It had mold in that. I was about to throw up. You are a life saver :*

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 8 лет назад

I'm so glad this helped! Sorry you had mold, though :(

@tl9873 4 года назад

Thank you for this video. I bought the Ma Fit about 2 years after my Mia 2 died. It hasn’t been holding a charge. I was thinking of replacing it with the new Mia, but after realizing how mold has been trapped in my current one, even after frequently cleaning it, I started rethinking whether I want to go with Clarisonic. After researching, I’m thinking going with an anti microbial cleansing brush like Fureo or PMD.

@onheels5572 7 лет назад

very useful video since I'm planning to buy a Clarisonic ^^ thank you!

@deniseherud 8 лет назад

Awesome! Totes changed my life. Was ready to chuck mine in the trash cuz kept breaking me out like BAD. I've been thru bunches of brush heads cuz they all seemed too rough, but I tried using distilled water instead of tap, and omg what a diff! No more red skin or bumps! Clarisonic totes owes u a job or commission for all the devices u've saved from getting trashed!haha

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 8 лет назад

Wow, I'm so excited that I was able to help you! Comments like this beat a commission any day, although that would be hilarious...

@bunnie8906 9 лет назад

I know this is a bit late, but thank you so much for making this! I recently bought a clarisonic (this is my last ditch before i go all out and try to get insurance that will cover accutane.. rather not get to that point!) and i'm glad that you've listed these so now i know what to look out for/prepare for/prevent! Otherwise i'm so excited for it to get here; your skin looks super gorgeous, i hope i get similar results! :>

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

Thank you so much! I am so glad this helped. It's so important to take care of something that's such an investment. I really hope it helps with your skin, and good luck!

@johnh1001 9 лет назад

I am using my husband sign-in here, but I have to make additional comment. You made and excellent point about water. I find I break out depending on the tap water. Also, don't press the brush on your skin. Allow the brush to do the work. I've commented before on this video and it was nice communicating with you. The mold was very informative! I just purchased Mia 2 and it is charging the first 24 hours. I can't wait to use it. In the past, when I had the old one, I always had the habit of removing the brush head after every wash and allowed it to dry on my vanity table, not the bathroom. Your video is very informative and I still purchased Clarisonic, but I will make sure I remove the brush head as I did years ago. Thank you!

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

John H Great additional tips! How's the Mia 2? I hope you love it. It sometimes takes a little time for your skin to get used to it, so hang in there if it's not super life-changing yet. It sounds like you'll take great care of it.

@johnh1001 8 лет назад

***** I love it! The key is getting the right type of cleanser that is gentle but does not leave a residue on your skin. Don't press the brush on your face. Allow it so glide and do it's work. I didn't break out from Mia 2. I didn't press hard on my skin and got a cleanser that is not over drying.

@PrincessJas24 7 лет назад

Thank you for this!! I've had a clarisonic for a couple months now and I literally love it so much but I hardly ever take my brush head off even though I don't leave it in the shower!! I'm definitely going to start taking the brush head off

@LynnFishmanMeditation 5 лет назад

I think the issue about Clarisonic is the level of bacteria that can accumulate on the brush.

@juliark 5 лет назад

I was wondering about the mold. I take mine apart after every use and only use it every couple of days but found black mold in it. I didn't know because without glasses I'm basically blind and I leave it open and face down on a shower holder. Cleaning it now

@reddalchemy5970 7 лет назад

Thank you for this though. You are right, a lot of owners do not mention the possible mold issue. If you take good care of the Clarisonic, it will last for a while, but ultimately, you will need to replace it at some point, the battery does not last forever, sadly. You would think that with all this technology, they could make something that could last, but I guess for 100-200 bucks, and 3 years worth of life, that is not too bad.

@ItsJustKathleen 8 лет назад

this was so useful, i ordered my clarisonic right after this video

@delwright5870 8 лет назад

@user-de5dv3fj4w 8 лет назад

I totally agree with removing the brush every time and i do use bleach to clean out the mould that develops in the handle.

@lpg8518 8 лет назад

I purchased this item, actually the profile, a month ago and I love it. Breakouts have to do with what type of cleanser your using and what types of creams/serums you use. Also, you didn't mention if you switch out the brush heads, they are supposed to be replaced every three months if you use it daily. I use it once a day and I would think more than that would probably dry out or irritate the skin, depends on your skin I guess. I would have thought it was obvious that anything you use that gets wet would need to be dried off. I dry mine off after using it. I don't think these things were advertised as mold resistance, like anything else, if you don't clean it you will have issues with it.

@Vivekatt 8 лет назад

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

@JadaSnacks 5 лет назад

how often do you do this?

@pupujohn 8 лет назад

I take apart my Clarisonic after every use and stand it up in a small glass jar. I also wipe it down with a dry towel. I've never had a mold problem and I've been using it for about a year.

@evelynjoyce 8 лет назад

I've had my Clarisonic for five years and the battery life hasn't changed. I let it run down completely before recharging it so don't know if that makes a difference. I place my Clarisonic face down after using it and dry it out. I remove the brush head and allow it to dry out. I also swab the Clarisonic with alcohol regularly to clean it.

@oliviastrees 8 лет назад

+evelynjoyce which clarisonic do you have?

@jtruearmywife 6 лет назад

Me too! Love mine. Going on 7 years now and I take care of it every single day and it’s wonderful ❤️. If you’ve got pink mold and leaving it in the shower.....well, duh..

@hessaalshehhi8222 5 лет назад

Same here, i was a little surprised she doesn’t take the brush out to dry after every single use which i do. You have o dry it out and any other items you put in your skin face or body. Also mine is working as great as the first time i used it and i charge it only one every 4-6 weeks and i use it once a day unless there is an occasion then its twice.

@BUnique4Him 8 лет назад

can also try to use white vinegar on a Q-tip, white vinegar is good about killing bacteria

@ip4502 6 лет назад

Just so you know the Clinique brush is made so no holes underneath the brush head so you can’t get mold in the brush. Plus it’s smaller and lighter and cheaper.

@kutie216 7 лет назад

Use vinegar to remove the calcium buildup. It happens literally everywhere like diffusers, coffee makers like keurigs and many other things. Its really easy to get rid of also rubbing alcohol works

@dindog22 4 года назад

I bought one of the OG Clarisonics when they first came out. I've had it 11 or 12 years now and the battery is starting to not hold a charge. I saw a pretty good deal on Cyber Monday for a Mia Smart so I decided to splurge. The first thing I noticed about the new style ones is that the brush head has some sort of indicator on the back that's covered in foil. I'm not sure if it's some sort of chip or what to try to make you buy new brush heads more often. I'm kind of wishing I went with one of the dumb Mias instead of the smart one.

@TheBohemianStyle 9 лет назад

I always removed the brush head after every wash. I think it is in the instruction box

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

Chris Harrison Yes, I think that's what they recommend. After making this video I started doing that, and I've been doing that on my new one as well. So far, no problems at all!

@TheBohemianStyle 7 лет назад

That is wonderful! Mine is doing okay so far also.

@tonylopez1598 8 лет назад

You can use vinegar to cleanse your clarisonic if you find mold. We use it for people on breathing machines that have a moister tank. Might be safer than bleach..

@Mychaeltoddmtr 9 лет назад

I own one and will use it this weekend for the first time.

@Abigailalicex 9 лет назад

I literally ran to my bathroom to take my brush head out so my Clarisonic wouldn't go mouldy! I had no idea that that could happen. Thanks for these helpful tips

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

Abigail Alice Someone pointed out that it could have been soap scum, but either way, it's good to check every so often and clean out the device!

I've been having mine for about 3 years now and the battery its just fine and I use it twice a day, I charge it every two weeks and to prevent mold you need deep clean your Clarisonic (don't need to use bleach, you can try white vinegar and water) and even the instructions says to deep clean it, so just take the time to keep your stuff clean :)

One thing Broke for Beauty did not mention in her video is keeping the actual brushes clean. A couple months ago I came back from a deployment and then when I got back to the U.S. I noticed I started breaking out again in my usual area (which is my jawline). At first I thought it was coming back to the climate I was used to that was making me breakout but as soon as I cleaned out the brushes. How I clean out the brushes is I take a cup fill it up with water and then put anti-bacterial dish soap and also hydrogen peroxide and I let the brushes soak in that water overnight. I have the Smart Profile and I use it a lot in the shower so one thing I do (as mentioned in the video) is I take the brush head off and let the unit breathe. I also do pour some hydrogen peroxide into the part where you put the brush and let that soak there for awhile too.

+Ana Johnson Good point. I was going for mentioning things people don't talk about, and I thought cleaning the brush head was a common thing people mention. Thanks for the tips!

@baggergurl16 8 лет назад

Your welcome but Clarisonic is hands down the best skin care investment I have made and since then I havent gone back to washing my face with my hands.

That pink mold is called Serratia Marcesans and it LOVES to feed on soap scum. I've seen this grow in the guest shower where it wasn't used often, but also wasn't cleaned as often. Ewww, but is very easy for me to clean and it is one of the less harmful molds, unless you are very sensitive to that particular strain.

I am specialist in clarisonic and let me tell you, you should clean your brush and your device once a week with soap and dry it,. That's the reason you have that pink thing.

@TheChswe 8 лет назад

Informative, thank you.

@everythingsperfectagain8112 8 лет назад

That moment you realize you're the only one that started off doing it right by your own instinct and taking it off after each use! Yay me!

@summergame69 8 лет назад

Did you use pure hydrogen peroxide on the brush? Thank you for this video!

@Genuilon 9 лет назад

The other thing they don't mention is that the brushhead literally starts to stink after several usages (also has to do with not removing it completely to dry each time I used it).

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

Yes, that would definitely happen if the brush head isn't drying completely. If yours starts to smell, I'd suggest cleaning it with antibacterial soap or throwing it out right away!

@michelemele5833 9 лет назад

Yeah...that's because your suppose to replace the brush heads every 3 months. It's cleaning dirt off your face of course they need to be tossed for new.

@tarathetarantula 7 лет назад

I just bought the smart profile clarasonic. I have hard water in my house. Are you saying I shouldn't use this now? The hard water doesn't necessary irritate my skin, but it does DRY it out like crazy. I use good quality moisturizers/ serums/eye and neck cream. I figured this brush would make the lotions work better if all the dead skin was gone.

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 7 лет назад

If it doesn't cause a reaction in your skin, you'll be fine. Your skin is likely accustomed to the water you have. I only wanted to point out that this can be a consideration if you have sensitive skin or use water at multiple locations (like I was at the time).

@Ranunkel121 9 лет назад

I always take of the brushhead and ones a week i pour very hot water over the brushhead and the top where the head sits on the machine. You can use aswell a hygienespray. There a some made for delecate surfaces.

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

Ranunkel121 That's a good routine to be in. Thanks for sharing your tips!

Spray grapefruit seed extract on it in a spritzer. GSE is like a natural safe bleach. Look up the mixture ratio with distilled water for all kinds of uses😊

Hy Clarisonic has 2 year warranty so if you find your battery life is bad you could take it back. I think this is the problem with the basic Mia, which they don't do anymore. I have Plus for over 2 years no and no issue with the battery life. I agree the fact it's waterproof it means you can use it in the shower but they do suggest to take the brush off and dry it in a well aired room. Wash it in a water with soap too. The entire device head without your brush head on. It'll help. Also If you find that your skin gets a bit sensitive even if it's due to harder water in your area changing to a more gentle wash or swap your brush head to a softer one. Hope it helps. Great video, and true no one talks about the mold issue!

@ColleenCaseyVlogs 9 лет назад

SocialBeautify I think I was past the warranty, but it's always good to check! I agree that the "lower" models likely have a bigger battery issue than the more expensive ones. Thanks for all of your tips :)

@oceanne0724 8 лет назад

I'm looking into buying a Clarisonic or Forneo Luna, and hands down no comparison, I'll probably purchase the Clarisonic, it seems to deep clean your face with brush bristles against rubbing something that's I don't know what type of fibre, soft rubber? against your face. What you're mentioning in your video about the mold, it's logical, you have to clean your Clarisonic. For the price you're paying for it, you shouldn't be leaving it lying in the Shower wet, it's easy, take off the brush, clean it and air dry it - it's like cleaning your cosmetic brushes, I clean them almost after every usage.

@vannessagenzel3131 7 лет назад

I was told when I got mine to wipe it down too take it apart , I scald the brush and a lite spray of hydrogen peroxide and rinse it use a Q tip to clean it and wipe it down or use your hair dryer on low heat after cleaning.
