A Sonic Love Affair

Once in a while a product comes along that poses existential questions, like “what good are my hands for?”

Okay, let’s rewind. For almost three decades, twice a day, I’ve been using my hands to wash my face. They scrubbed and cleaned proudly, not knowing one day they would to be replaced. Then it came: the Clarisonic Mia, a shapely little micro-massaging brush with the ability to cleanse six times better than our good old hands. With skin so clean now, using one’s hands seems almost… barbaric.

Sorry old friends. — Anya Georgijevic
