Are you experiencing a bit of snow today? I am, and as much as my inner-child is screaming with delight at the idea of rolling around in it all, the more mature lady in me is fearing the effects that all this harsh weather may be having on my skin.
You see, I have quite the sensitive face (woe is me), where I suffer from dryness and even break-outs at the mere sight of bitter winds or air conditioning. Winter for me equals one dull complexion, but this year I'm taking extra measures to appear as glowy as possible!
Enter Clarins. They're famous for brightening up the faces of ladies all over with their Beauty Flash Balm, but it's their HydraQuench Cream-Mask that has been my real lifesaver over recent months!
Specially designed for dehydrated skin, this is one of those clever products that contain Hyalauronic Acid, the perfect ingredient for ensuring moisture levels are maintained.
But does it work? Well, for the past three weeks I've been giving myself a weekly dose of the stuff, applying it all over my face (even on eyelids and lips) and relaxing for 10-15 minutes. The idea is that your skin drinks it all up, and you remove any excess with a cotton pad soaked in toner.
The final result has been smoother, brighter, softer skin! Plus, I've crushed that fear of being out in the cold. A tube will set you back £30 from Debenhams, but with only a weekly application being necessary, I'd say it's worth the price tag.
