Caring for your Clarsionic Skincare Brush (shampoo, head, conditioner, cleanser)

What is the best way to care for your Clarisonic?

After using my brush both morning and in the evening, and while the brush is spinning at a high speed, I run some warm water over the brush head for a minute or so to maintain basic cleaning. I then detach the brush head and clean it with my WEN Cleansing Conditioner to get all of the dirt and cleanser off the brush. I then try to make sure that it is dry by attaching the brush head onto the Clarisonic and with it spinning at a high speed, I hold it against a clean washcloth for for approximately 10 seconds to dry. Once I feel that the brush is dry, I apply the protector and put it back on charge. I also make sure I rinse out the interior under the sink or shower head every time I use the brush.

Am I caring for my Clarisonic the correct way? It is recommended that you change the brush heads every 3-4 months, however, I like to change mine every month. Also, since I'm changing the brush heads so frequently, is it really necessary that I clean the brush heads with the WEN Cleansing Conditioner every single time I use the Clarisonic?

I just purchased my Clarisonic the other day from Sephora. I was using microfiber cloths, but I think this is better.

Thank you and I hope someone can give me some insight on whether I am doing the right things.

Is it really even necessary to do this especially if I change my brush head every month? I was just at Sephora and was told by a sales associate that using a shampoo or anti-bacterial hand soap was completely optional, as she believed the cleanser I used in synergy with the brush would keep it clean. She recommended just running warm water over the brush head with every use for hygienic purposes. Again, she said using a shampoo or anti-bacterial hand soap was not necessary.

What are your thoughts? Am I over analyzing things?

Personally, I would much rather use only water as cleaning the brush every morning and night with the method I described above is adding additional time to my routine, which is starting to become more of a household chore than a beauty program.

I clean my clarisonic with Philosophy's Purity. In fact, I clean all of my makeup brushes with that and it works really well.

I would pour alcohol or hydrogen peroxide over it and then rinse at least just to make sure its germ free.

I just use some of my antibacterial hand soap from Bath and Body Works to clean the brush head. I love my Clarisonic!!! I has helped me SO much with my cystic acne. It's worth every penny
