Absolutely! I clean mine every few weeks. They sell a spray cleaner but it really doesn't work well. A cosmetologist showed me how to clean. Make sure all powder is out then fill the space where you would put the powder with warm water and a few drops of Dawn dishwashing liquid. swirl the brush on your palm to clean. Rinse by running water through and repeat the process several times until brush is completely clean. shake out excess moisture then let air dry over night before refilling with powder. I have found it best to only partially refill so I can clean in between as it tkes a long time to use the entire refill. Works like a charm. Brush will be like new. Absolutely!

I have not cleaned my colorscience brush yet, but when ready for a refill will most likely clean it as I do all my other brushes. Directions below:Fill two bowls with warm water.In one bowl, add a mild soap and hydrogen peroxide... just a little of each and stir up water.In that bowl, swirl around the brush portion of the powder stick. until water is murky with oils and dirt.Take the stick and swirl it around in second bowl of clean water, making sure everything is off. Take your fingers and run them down the brush carefully to remove excess water - lay on clean towel until dried.Hope this helps!

I haven't had this issue, are you letting it dry on your skin? I scrub, with wet face, then rinse immediately with a washcloth. It tends to "ball up" as I scrub and washes away pretty easily. a little toner gets any residual lumpy spots.

I would recommend it. Both my father and I use when necessary and it always seems to help. However, when I first started using it, my face would seem very irritated afterwards for about 10 minutes. I kept using it and after awhile the irritation went away. It's more of a harsh cleanser, but it does work. I also use Avon's Clear Skin face wash about once every 3 days and I use the nanocleanse in between just once a day instead of twice. Seems to do well for me! Hope I helped you out.

Well I did notice that it seems the oil is dispersed right away and then hardly any fragrance. Except for patchouli oil ! One drop of that almost runs me out of the house and I'm not sure I even like it.Try more drops or different brands maybe. But I do wish it filled the air with a more potent aroma.

The most I've ever done for mine is to make sure I rinse it thoroughly with hot water after each use, making sure that all of the cleanser that I used is rinsed out completely. After that, I squeeze it and hang it to dry. I also agree with the first poster that a mild soap or vinegar should work as well. Also, something to consider is that the bristles are supposed to be naturally antimicrobial according to the company. As a side note, I've also been wondering how often the brush should be replaced if anyone has any thoughts on that.

After removing any hair in the bristles, I soaked in a bowl of warm water mixed with a little dish soap (dish soap does an excellent job breaking down oil). I didn't time how long I let it sit but it was probably only 5-10 mins. Then I rinsed it in hot water and let it air dry. I now just rinse it in hot water after I use it and I'm sure I won't have to soak it again. I love how easy it is to keep it clean.

Hi Nina. I have a sensitive skin and I am thrilled with my Clarisonic Mia. After one month's use, my skin has more resilience, my deep lines are smoothing out and my skin looks full of life again. Instructions are adequate, by which I mean I could follow them. There was only one brush which I think will need replacing some time, so I'll need to find out about purchasing additional brushes. Good luck. I'd say go for it. Cheers. Joyce

Personally, I use it twice a day. It is a good cleanser and I can tell after I use it, that my makeup and the rest of the nasty oil from my face is gone. But if you are looking for something that would help you with your pores I suggest the Etude House Pore refresher. I use both and my skin has gotten so much better. Both are sensitive for my face and if you don't mind a slight lemony sent on the baking powder cleanser, you should try it.also, BB Cream is a type of make up that is really popular in Asia. It's stands for Beauty Balm and it is an all in one makeup that helps the skin with various stuff like spf,and skincare, while at the same time covers your face like a foundation. hope that helps!

Ugh, come on guys, she asked about hair and skin, not how great it tastes; I'm sure we all know that by now!Kate: I actually only use this for my face-it's not so sweet and I only use this in my tea if I run out of my trader joes raw organic honey. For my face it is fantastic! I'm allergic to everything so this has become my cleanser, face wash, and moisturizer all in one (though I do use various oils afterwards on my face) but its fantastic for whole body, softening, making less sensitive, calming, etc. I think you'll def enjoy it! I have not tried on my hair yet but others I know love it in washes! Hope it helps!V.

no, I didn't have any problem, I love it. I am on my second bottle right now. I hope I answered your questions. You might want to scrub your face before using this item.

I just bought all the BE and I am not totally satisfied. I will keep playing with the brushes and minerals. But I too have large pores and was horrified to see them look twice as big, when I tried to apply it myself. When I went to the BE store in Dallas this afternoon, they applied it. My pores didn't look big then, so I will keep trying.I thought about using a water mist spray to set in better. But if what others are saying about the staying power is true, I may be defeating the coverage.

I'm using it daily. It's been a few weeks now. I see some improvement, but I do feel it's too soon to give a more thorough answer. Feel free to check back. My skin is looking a lot better overall!

I am wondering too, about the one guy who said he received the green brushheads instead of the blue. The model number also matches that of the Acne cleansing head. Is this product actually the Deep Poor model, and if not, are all of the reviews actually for the Acne Cleansing model? Which one are they actually talking about? They must have ordered it here, right?

I had the same problem and I used a painters razor. I wish I never used the quickshine product as it is like putting a thin nail-polish laquer on your expensive floors! Not sure if the cleaner would work or cause more problems. I haven't tried it. (a bit afraid to venture into another headache with this company)

I've been using this for about 2 months and haven't noticed any damage at all. My hair is generally healthy and I do wait until it's about 80% dry before styling though. I start each section on high for about 10 seconds and then switch to the cooler setting for about the same amount of time. I generally have my free hand near the brush as I'm styling and I haven't ever felt that it was getting too hot to touch. As another person mentioned, it styles my hair in loose curls or waves, partially because of the size of the brush and perhaps because it's not as hot. Not for you if you want dramatic curls, imo.

Hello Barbara, I know that they were all great ingreadients as I need moisture for my hair and this products did really well. I have not re-ordered as i got a gift of "It's A Ten" leave in, and that is a top one also. Stick with oils as well like the argan and moraccan, on wet and dry hair. Makes a big difference for my naturally thick curly hair, if that is what you also have? Good luck and have fun shopping. Also to wash I have been stuck on WEN $$ at first but you can wait for when you need more product. I will now use nothing else.
