I adore Clarins skincare, and consider it (and genetics, I'll admit) the reason people think I'm younger than I am. After I started using Clarins, I was hearing "you have perfect skin". I give credit where credit is due and point folks towards the closest Clarins counter.
Made with natural botanical ingredients, this is such a wonderful smelling product line that it would almost be worth purchasing just for the way it feels and smells!
But enough gushing... on to Clarins' holiday offerings.
Let me just start with the one I'm picking up first. It seems like as good a place to begin as any! While I do makeovers on customers all day, I'm constantly washing my hands and using alcohol-based hand sanitizers, so my hands feel dry and tight all of the time. I don't like it, and I don't think it's that nice up against the faces of my customers. Since I don't like to completely demolish other counters' testers, I spread the wealth and through the course of my time in the department have sampled hand creams and supposed "miracle treatments" from just about every line out there. The Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream is hands-down the best (pardon the bad pun!). So, when I heard that Clarins was offering
two 3.5 (full size) Hand and Nail Treatments for only $40 in their Happy Hands and Nails package, I realized Christmas had come early. (Normal retail price for
one of these is $29)
Next up is the
Head to Toe Heaven Gift Set, which includes a .34 fl oz Water Comfort One-Step Cleanser, a .53 fl oz Moisture Quenching Hydra-Care Cream, a .53 fl oz Beauty Flash Balm, a 3.5 oz Hand and Nail Treatment Cream, and a 6.8 fl oz Moisture-Rich Body Lotion. With all of this bow to stern pampering for only $62, it's a great way to launch your own voyage into Clarins skincare, or to convince someone else to try it.
For anyone whose skin needs some revitalizing (especially for those who want to fade some irritating freckles, hyperpigmentatino or other discolorations), the
Brightening Solutions Gift Set is a must-have. I use these products, and my melasma has faded considerably. I've also got that whole healthy radiance thing going on. In the kit: a 1.7 fl oz Bright Plus HP Protective Day Lotion SPF 20, a .53 fl oz Bright Plus HP Repairing Brightening Night Cream (the bomb!), and a .34 Bright Plus HP Firming Brightening Essence, all for $55 USD.
