Talk About Restorative; These are Super Restorative.

August 05, 2009/

There comes a point in life where skin needs a bit of extra help. I have been at "that time" for some time now. Even if you are not at the time when your skin is in continual need of extra help, a weekly or monthly skin re-charge is always in order.

I have been re-charging my face and neck a few days a week with this great Super Restorative combo from Clarins. What a delightful re-charge it has been.

First, I use the Super Restorative Replenishing Comfort Mask. It is a thick, rich creamy white cream mask that hydrates and tightens my skin, while even-ing out my skin tone. It can be come quite addicting, especially when you feel skin needs an extra pick me up. Which for me, is like I said, a few times a week.

I follow up the mask with this wonderful Super Restorative Wake-Up Lotion. This is a thicker toner-like liquid that is meant to be splashed over the face, though I like to apply it and gently swipe away impurities by using it on a cotton pad. It is a perfect compliment to the mask as it further wakes up the skin and makes it appear even more fresh. This lotion can be used in place of toner everyday, but I find it best as a follow up to the mask, for a mini-facial, if you will.

Both of these Restorative beauties are available at Clarins counters as well as their Clarins.com.

Self Tanned,Toned and Delicious!

May 20, 2009/

It looks a bit like whipped chocolate pudding. This even smells a bit like cocoa which is most likely because this self tanning cream is made with cocoa, the richest part of cocoa butter. Clarins Delicious Self Tanning Cream smells good enough to eat, though you definitely should not.

I urge you to spread this luxurious cream over your body - wherever you want a deep rich, glorious golden tan. This beauty is perfect for the legs. My legs are finally looking how I like them to look faux-tanned and toned!

This delicious cream moisturizes as it glides across your skin, while leaving it super soft. The instant color is gorgeous too, one that you can apply and then go out of the house with - after waiting about ten minutes for it to completely dry, that is. I so love the fact that I only need to re-apply this cream every week or every five days if I really want to amp it up. Of course, the darker you want to go, you could apply as often as you wish, but it is not necessary. Really, this self tanner lasts, and fades very naturally. No one will ever know that you go faux!

Check this out online at Clarins.com or at your favorite Clarins counter. I bet this one will become part of your self-tanning ritual.
