THE DAILY RITUAL FOR SUPERB SKIN IN SHORT EXPERT ADVICE

THE BEST BEAUTY GIFT? A CLEANSER! Not convinced? Then picture this: don’t you clean and sand a wall before repainting it? And since your skin is much more precious than a wall, it deserves the best! Thoroughly cleansed and gently exfoliated, it is immediately more beautiful and stays younger-looking, for longer. Day and night creams are more effective and make-up is more luminous. Now you can see the true value of the gift Jacques Courtin, Clarins visionary founder, offered guests when he always gave them cleansers!

THE PLEASURES OF CLEANSING

Well-being! You feel so good after cleansing, as if you’ve just washed away all your worries by removing all the impurities, dirt, pollution, oiliness and sweat that sticks to your face whether you wear make-up or not.

Your skin care basics At Clarins, cleansers and exfoliators are genuine skin care products formulated to the same rigorous standards and delivering the same unrivalled effectiveness, as its most advanced age-control creams. And to satisfy the needs of every skin, Clarins always offers the widest choice of textures.

WHERE DO I START? WITH THE EYES!

I’ve found the secret to radiance! FOCUS

Whether you wear eye make-up or not, always start cleansing here. It avoids leaving impurities on a cleansed face and/or gives a refreshing, relaxing effect at night.

INSTANT BEAUTY TIP To remove eye make-up, gently wipe a cotton pad soaked in lotion over the eyelids, then the lashes from root to tip. Do not rub eyes and use a separate cotton pad for each eye. Heavy make-up? Leave the cotton pad on the eyelid for a few seconds to dissolve make-up.

A FRESH FEEL FOR EYES The specific formulas are dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested, to effectively refresh even sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers. Light make-up? Choose Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover Lotion. Cornflower water, rosewater and soya protein gently soothe eyelids and strengthen lashes. Heavy make-up? Go for Instant Eye MakeUp Remover with rose and cornflower extracts and ultra-fine oils. They are the ideal gift for teenagers who have started wearing make-up! 8
