I was sorting out my cupboard when I decided that I'm gonna give you a little insight into my skin care products that I'm currently using.
now I know most people say how amazing these products are and stuff but I'm gonna back them up really I am. and I know most people go on and on about these products and are very popular but I use the Clinique brand products I find that this is one of the only brands that keep my skin healthy and fresh looking....
I use the 3-step skincare system '3 steps, 3 minutes, twice a day'.
so the first product that I use is the facial soap which acts as a cleanser.
'Clinically formulated cleansing-that's how great skin starts. Clinique's dermatologists believe soap is best. Our non-drying formula removes facial dirt and oil. Works to loosen surface flakes. Leaves skin feeling fresh, clean, comfortable-perfectly prepped for the exfoliating action of Clarifying Lotion. Custom-fit to skin type in Very Dry to Dry, Dry Combination and Combination Oily/Oily skin formulas.'
I find this a really refreshing soap to use it's available in solid soap or liquid I have the liquid which come in a cute bottle which is easy to use as it has a pump on. I use a good single pump which is about enough and can lather up just right. I havn't tried the solid soap so im not sure what it's like to use.
the second step is the clarifying lotion which is an equivilant to normal toner.
'Exfoliation is the engine of skin renewal. Why Clinique's dermatologist-developed Clarifying Lotion is the difference-maker. Custom-fit to skin type in Mild, Very Dry to Dry, Dry Combination, Combination Oily and Oily Skin formulas.'
the differet types of clarifying lotion are numbered and have different colours. I have number two which is the purple one, it is the most popular type of clarifying lotion. this product comes with a choice of two bottle sizes one is 200ml and another is 400ml obviously there is a difference in prices.
the last step is the dramatically different moisturisng lotion/gel.
'ramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion is the moisture "drink" developed by Clinique dermatologists to maintain optimal moisture balance. Custom-fit to skin type in Very Dry to Dry Combination skin formula.'
'The oil-free version of our famous moisturizer. Custom-fit to skin type in Combination Oily to Oily skin formula.'
this is a very good moisturizer but I only use it at night although it seems to last me forever. I have the lotion version as I have dryer skin.
also I have two other steps I added in myself the first is take the day off cleansing milk.
'Gentle, milky makeup dissolver removes even long-wearing facial makeup and sunscreens, then tissues off or rinses away with water. Residue-free formula leaves all skin types soft, comfortable. For all skin types; ideal for drier skins.'
this I find removes most of my make up very quickly and is very easy to use. although I do find that it stings my eyes alot :( but other than that I think this is a perfect make up remover. I usually use this product before using my facail soap as the facail soap doesn't remove makeup.
then instead of using the facail soap in the morning I use the seven day scrub.
'Skin looks translucent, clearer brighter; takes edge off tiny lines. Better stimulation; promotes even skin tone. Helps control oil-related problems. Gives a light reflecting look to mature skin. Allows better makeup application. Moisturiser absorbs more easily. Will not scratch. Gentle; leaves no residue on skin after rinsing. De-flakes, polishes, clears pores.'
this is the perfect exfoliator for me it leaves my skin soft and ready for my foundation application. I have also found it removes black heads effectively over time.
Now I'm going to jump in the shower and get ready for an Indian (also tonight I'm seeing case 39, hope it's good!)
have a great day! hope you enjoyed this little post :)
