Today, this is a Christmas gift with a difference. It'd make a lovely gift for those who love their skin care and look after their skin. It's the Sirius Sonic Skincare System*.
This system is a fantastic cheaper alternative to the Clarisonic (which I've tried about before and reviewed here and here and have since got rid of as I really didn't like it). It uses the power of sonic technology to buff and polish the skin to give you instantly luxurious looking and feeling skin that you'll notice from the first time that you use it. It's waterproof and portable and it can be used by everybody and on every skin type (even skin that has been affected by acne) - this is the part that drew me in as the Clarisonic broke me out very badly. So badly that my skin was in pain. It vibrates at a frequency more than 300 motions per second which allows for 50% more absorption and it gives a much more effective and deeper cleansing, toning, exfoliation and hydration. Now that that part is out of the way, what do I think about this?
First of all, I love the look of this system. It comes with a stand that sits beautifully by my sink and I love how smooth everything looks. I also love that it comes with a number of different brush heads. It comes with two cleansing brushes (one for normal skin and one for sensitive skin) which give a deep and gentle cleansing. These brushes are extremely soft and don't upset the skin in any way. It also comes with an exfoliation head which gently buffs away dead skin cells and clears the pores. This exfoliates in a way that is much better than hands and it's definitely my favourite brush head of them all. You also get an hydration applicator which apparently gives you 50% greater nutrient absorption whilst plumping and tightening the facial muscles. This is another brush head that is a great idea and my skin feels a lot smoother and more moisturised when I've used it. And finally, there's a toning brush head that is used alone without any product.
The one thing that I don't like about this product is that it doesn't need charging as you use batteries. I do like having to charge things as for me, batteries are quite expensive but I will be investing in some rechargeable ones for this machine as I can't live without it. However, not having to charge it is definitely a good thing when it comes to travelling as you don't have to carry a great bulky charger with you.
Overall, I'm in love with this skin care system. It hasn't broke me out once, it's suitable for daily use and my skin has looked and felt a lot better since using it. I'm not the greatest when it comes to technology but you can read more about what this product does and how it works here. But I must just say that is does work. My skin is a lot more clean which means less breakouts and my scars seem to be fading a lot better. Also, my foundation now goes on a lot nicer which is great!
This device retails for £65.00 and it's exclusive to Boots here.
