Wish List: Clarisonic

By now most people have heard of (and many use) Sonicare toothbrushes.  A few years ago, the guy who invented that sonic technology that cleans our teeth so well, came out with a brush that cleans your skin.  The same theory that applies to the toothbrush, applies to the Clarisonic brush.  In 60 seconds, the brush moves a million (or so) times to get your face squeaky clean.  There are different brush heads depending on the sensitivity of your skin, and they now even have brush heads for the body. 

So why have I been lusting after a product that costs between $195-$225 for something I can do with my own two hands?  Well, evidence shows that it cleans much better than manual cleansing:

Clarisonic claims that using this brush will improve skin tone, wrinkles, pore appreance, etc.  And from all the reviews I've read on this, I believe it really works.  What sells me most is that using the brush preps your skin to better absorb all the serums, eye creams, moisturizers, etc. that I spend so much money on already.  You wouldn't spend $200 to get your hair colored and then use dollar store shampoo to wash it, right?  That's how I justify my need for the Clarisonic.  Plus, it comes in pink!
