Hello beautiful people! Hopefully if you are still keeping tabs on this blog, yes, I am still alive and well. I have been busy being more mindful of my skin and experimenting with my face routine, while also trying ways to reduce my hyperpigmentation issue, of course. I decided to stray from my previous routine with my African Black Soap for more hassle-free and less messy products. This leads me to my recent amazing discovery - the Olay Professional Pro-X kit.
You may have heard or seen about this brush on commercials, beauty forums and on sites like Amazon or eBay, and truthfully - this brush does indeed live up to its hype!
Since the dawn of time, I have wanted the Clarisonic Skin Care System. For those who are unfamiliar, the Clarisonic system was the first innovator of the vibrating skincare brush. Their brushes range from its original brush with 2-speeds to its travel-size version Mia, which operates on one speed. Its range of brushes run everywhere on the web from $100-$200. Being the frugal beauty enthusiast that I am and considering I have yet to find a steady income after just graduating from college, this was a challenge for me. On one hand I could spend my measly part-time paycheck on this device that has been so raved about and temporarily sacrifice my social life and bills, but on the other hand - is this product really worth it?
I remember the countless times I'd add the Clarisonic Mia to my Amazon cart and just stare at the glaring total, hesitating to proceed to enter my card info. Thankfully, it never happened. And all thanks to Olay Pro-X. As soon as I saw the commercial for this new brush system, I hopped onto Makeupalley (my trusted source for product reviews) and scoured through the comments. Sure enough, it was rated a 4.7/5 from a good amount of buyers as well as those on Google and Amazon. In total, I paid a fraction of the price ($29.50) for a brush that works probably just as well as the Clarisonic.
Yes, I understand that I have not tried the Clarisonic, but how much more different can it be? The Olay Pro-X is cute and compact, uses gentle brush-heads to get all the grime off my face by the end of the night, and has 2 different speeds. I've been using it every night with my PanOxyl Cleanser with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide and my skin has never looked better. It's also water-resistant so I can also bring this in the shower with me without worrying about damage.

My only gripe is that I wish it wasn't battery operated and instead could charge like the Clarisonic, but I can live. For $29.50 I surely cannot complain about looking forward to washing my face every night with this baby.
So if you're stuck on the fence and are hesitant about dropping the benjie's on a Clarisonic, try the Olay Pro-X. Your face and wallet will thank you!
