Frugal Friday: Ulta Dual Action Cleansing System

If you haven't been living under a rock you have probably heard about the Clarisonic cleansing system. It is a sonic skin cleanser that claims to clean your face better and in turn your skin will absorb all those spendy products you buy better. People of all ages are raving that its a game changer. Unfortunately it is also a wallet changer. Ranging from 99 up to 225 dollars. Pricey much? That's not even including how much you are going to be in the hole when you start replacing your brush heads every 3 months. 30-40 bucks a pop.

So here is where you can get your frugal on: Ulta brand sells their own version for 25 bucks. With there near constant 20% off coupons you can get it for 20. Replacement heads are a two pack for 8 dollars. It comes with a foam head or a brush head.

 

Ulta Dual Action Cleansing System

 



 

I like to break the rules. It isn't meant to be used in the shower because it isn't water proof. I like to use it in the shower. I keep it up on a ledge out of the direct spray of water, and I don't submerge it. It's a risk I'm willing to take because it makes it more convenient for me.

 

What to do with the two separate heads? The foam is obviously more gentle and it can be used to apply lotion.

 

I can't say that it has transformed my skin. It does make my cleanser go farther and make it foam up much nicer. I usually use my bare mineral deep cleaning foam. I have also tried it with Indie Lee which I received in a subscription box. The Indie Lee was designed to be used with a Clarisonic-type of cleansing system.

 







 

My skin has been really dry lately. I don't know if I can attribute it all to this or just the changing of seasons. My skin CAN get really dry in the fall/winter. I used the foam today to apply a facial lotion and it did work quite well buffing it in. I also really like how clean my skin is after using it. I might look into a more moisturizing cleanser for winter.

 

 

I'm absolutely happy with my purchase.
