Clinique 3 Step Skin Care System

I have to admit that I was fortune enough to have made it through my teen years blemish free. Neither the less I did have other issues, but bad skin was never one of them. Growing up I always saw beauty treatments on my mom’s boudoir and one brand stood out Clinique. I also have other girlfriends who swear by the brand, every time they go through an airport where they can get duty free; they pick up each product from the Clinique 3 Step Skin Care System program.

Now that I share a flat with a make-up artist life is even harder for me to go to bed with makeup still on my face! Oh, I forget to mention I am a tomboy and hate anything routine. She is always yelling at me to wash my face before I go to bed and moisturize it! Huh, but I like the instant shadow effect from yesterday’s mascara!

OK, I will I will wash my face, before I go to bed. Here’s me before I start the regime.

Another tip she gave me was washing the face at night is better then washing it with soap in the morning. At the end of the day your face has all the dirt from the day, and so that is when it’s at it’s most vulnerable stage. In the morning you should just use a toner or a clarifying lotion on your face. In the morning your face is at it’s best when your body has had time to rest and naturally replenish it self.

Now that I am a grown up I have decided to take the Clinique challenge and take care of my skin with their 3 Step Skin Care System program.

My flatmate says I have combination skin, who me! It’s a little dry in some areas, after taking the Clinique skin test they recommended the mild liquid facial, clarifying lotion clarifiante, the dramatically different moisturizing lotion for very dry skin to combination. I have also decided to add more water to the regime!

You might wonder what is the Clinique’s 3 Step Skincare System. Clinique have designed the new-money-back-guaranteed 3-step Skincare System that can be tailored to suit your specific skin type.

Just visit any Clinique counter or click online to take a quick questionnaire on your skin. Your answers will be analysed to determine your skin-type and they then provide you with suitable products for your customised 3-step skin care system.

Here is my facial regime for the next two weeks

Step 1:Cleanse using Liquid Facial Soap Mild, £13
This cleanser promises to clean the face lifting off all dirt and oil without drying skin out. It also preps skin for the exfoliation in Step 2.

Step 2: Exfoliate using Clarifying Lotion Type 2 for Dry Combination Skin, £14
They call this the ‘difference maker’ as it is chosen specifically for my skin type. It is in a fluid form but has exfoliating properties to shift dead skin cells from the face.

Step 3: Moisturise with Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion for Very Dry-to-Dry Combination Skin, £15
Described as a ‘moisture drink’ this light lotion hydrates and helps the skin maintain its moistures balance.

Check back in a few days’s so you can see how my skin is doing and if I have kept to my regime.
