How do I get Healthy Glowing Skin?

Nature's cycles change throughout the year and it adjusts to the elements.

Our days are affected by the cold, rain, sun, wind, and pollution. They influence what we eat and become a regular part of our personal lives. The skin on our face is especially sensitive and exposed to these environmental stressors and shifts in the weather, day after day. It needs special attention at the beginning of each season to help it adjust and defend itself against the effects of aging.

Give your face what it needs to help it adjust to seasonal changes. Take care of your skin and it will take care of you! Here are some tips and tricks for achieving well-being and beautiful skin.

01 How should I cleanse my skin?

How should I cleanse my skin?

First step of your beauty routine: renew your skin!

The key to a fresh and glowing complexion is removing your makeup.
It’s important to dedicate a few minutes every day to this step whether you've been inside, outside, wore makeup or not.

Your skin must be cleansed every day to eliminate traces of pollution and excess sebum. There’s a cleanser for every type of skin, from combination to oily or dry. Instant makeup removers, cleansing lotions, water-based cleansers, foaming or exfoliating gels—explore our wide range of products, and give your face exactly what it needs.

Usually called micellar water, cleansing water is recommended for cleaning faces with blemishes. Apply with a cotton pad morning and night.

No need to rinse it off, your skin is purified and has retained
its natural moisture. Exfoliating versions of water-based solutions are like
giving your epidermis a new life by helping eliminate dead skin cells.

Refreshing and soothing Clarins cleansers take care of cleaning your face, especially the eye area that can get easily irritated.

Starting your day with a radiant complexion is all about following a 100% gentle face care routine!

02 What are the benefits of gentle cleansing?

What are the benefits of gentle cleansing?

For comfortable mild cleansing, Velvet Cleansing Milk gets rid of the day’s makeup and impurities.

It leaves your skin soft and clean, and gives it a nice supple and fresh sensation all over. Clarins botanical experts traveled to India where Moringa grows, to tap into its detoxifying properties. This powerful natural ingredient is rich in vitamins and minerals and is used in all the Velvet Cleansing Milk products. It oxygenates the skin and eliminates pollution particles.

Impurities are gone and the skin can breathe.

03 What is the best way to apply cleansers?

What is the best way to apply cleansers?

Apply using the Clarins professional cleansing method:

1

Warm

the Cleansing Milk between the palms of your hands to bring it up to skin temperature.

2

Apply

by simple contact using the entire surface of the hands. Do not apply pressure.

3

Lay the hands

flat on the face and neck and remove hands briskly as if the skin were burning hot.

4

Repeat 7 times:

the cleansing milk will thicken and sponge away make-up and impurities without irritating or disturbing the tissue.

5

Rinse or wipe off

Apply toner to finish.

04 After cleansing, how do I wake up my skin?

After cleansing, how do I wake up my skin?

After removing your makeup with your cleansing product, revive your complexion with a Clarins toning lotion.

There is a great selection of products to choose from, depending on your type of skin and specific age-related needs, with refreshing lightweight textures that create an instant sensation of comfort.

This skincare step is a genuine blast of freshness that will quickly become a must in your beauty routine! Whether you choose to use it as a morning wake-up call or a moment of well-being at night, it restores the skin’s velvety softness and vitality. It feels smooth, beautiful and has a youthful glow!

To apply your Toning Lotion, soak two cotton pads, gently wipe them over your face and neck twice a day to hydrate, tone and prepare your skin to fully collect the benefits of any product you apply afterwards. This prepping action makes your skincare routine more effective.

05 How do I hydrate my skin throughout the day?

How do I hydrate my skin throughout the day?

Like nature, your skin needs to be nourished and intensely hydrated. It requires different amounts of water, depending on your age and the season.

You must listen to what your skin wants and hydrate it. Moisturize it twice a day (morning and evening) with the right skincare products that are effective.

The Hydra-Essentiel line offers an entire range of unique hydrating treatments for beautiful skin in any condition, including a silky cream with a rich creamy formula for normal to dry skin and Cooling Gel with a lightweight liquid texture for combination or oily skin.

06 What does organic leaf of life do?

What does organic leaf of life do?

Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream is enriched with extracts of a powerful activator of natural hydration from Madagascar called organic leaf of life.

Clarins experts extract its potent moisturizing active ingredients from the leaves, which can stimulate the synthesis of hyaluronic acid.

It works day after day, helping all layers of the skin to stay hydrated. Organic Leaf of life will be your best ally by giving your skin the intense nourishment, comfort, and radiance it needs.

Regardless of your age or skin type, you can achieve beautiful, soft and silky-smooth skin every day.
