This is how I do it...
I manually take my eye makeup off first. Then I spread cleanser all over my face with my hands, especially around my eyes where you don't go with the Clarisonic, from there I'll use my Clarisonic and do my forehead, chin and each cheek like they suggest. Sometimes you are going to have left over mascara smudges, I'll clean that off with a q-tip. Love this thing, its really amazing, the travel one (Mia) was a godsend this summer for me on the road.
