My Skincare Routine (Clinique Product Review)

Self care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what’s left of you.

This year I want to focus on looking after myself and wellbeing. As I grow older, I see the lines in my face and that doesn’t bother me at all, I am embracing my age. What bothers me though is my dry and sensitive skin especially in the winter. So I am very particular in using skin care products. But for me, its all about pampering yourself no matter how busy your life is. Whether it’s getting your nails done, getting a hair treatment, doing a face mask or getting a massage. This year I want to prioritise pampering myself all year round. I’m gonna give extra attention to looking after my skin, body and also take more pride in my beauty routine.

So I want to share with you my favourite skincare products. For all my life I had rather dry and very sensitive skin. Clinique is the only skincare product that I use and perfect for my sensitive skin.

HERE ARE MY FAVOURITE CLINIQUE PRODUCTS:

1. CLINIQUE TAKE THE DAY OFF CLEANSING BALM

DESCRIPTION: A lightweight makeup remover. A uniquely textured face and eye makeup remover that transforms from a balm to an oil for gentle, yet effective removal of even the toughest makeup.

HOW IT WORKS: This amazing balm gently yet efficiently dissolves and removes tenacious eye and face makeup as well as dirt and oil because of its innovative formula that includes Safflower Seed Oil.  

HOW I USE IT: I use this every evening as a first cleanse. I rub a small amount into my skin for about a minute – it gently and effectively removes every trace of makeup, including mascara. I wipe off with a face cloth before a second cleanse.

REVIEW: Best makeup remover by far. It dissolves and removes eye makeup especially mascara and eyeliner easily with a small amount. I love the ease of it being an all in one for eyes and face. It leaves my dry skin moisturised and smooth after cleansing.

2. CLINIQUE FACIAL SOAP (3 Little Soaps with Travel Dish)

DESCRIPTION: For great skin when you’re on the go: three Facial Soaps with convenient travel dish. Leaves skin feeling fresh, clean, comfortable-never taut or dry.

HOW I USE IT: After removing my makeup, I wash my face with water and this soap. It leaves my skin moisturise and clean.

REVIEW: I like using facial soaps because it lasts longer and it feels more pampering when you lather it on to your face. It rinses easily too. I always buy the travel size ones because it is very convenient to bring when I am travelling and the size is perfect. It leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean and moisturised.

3. CLINIQUE CLARIFYING LOTION 1

DESCRIPTION: An exfoliating dermatologist-developed liquid lotion that sweeps away pollution, excess oil and dulling flakes to reveal fresher skin.

HOW IT WORKS: Instantly refines pores, helps skin accept moisture. Overtime helps revitalize the skin’s natural renewal process.

HOW I USE IT: I use it twice a day in the morning and evening. In the morning after I wash my face and put makeup on. In the evening after I cleanse and remove my makeup. Apply with a cotton ball or pad, sweeping gently over face and neck. Avoid the eye area.

REVIEW: I have been using this product for as long as I can remember. It sweeps away the dead skin in my face and it really helps absorb the moisturiser. It leaves my skin clear and looking healthy.

4.

MOISTURE SURGE 72-HOUR AUTO-REPLENISHING HYDRATOR

DESCRIPTION: Enhanced Moisture Surge with activated aloe water helps skin create its own internal water source. A light, refreshing gel-cream that keeps it almost twice as hydrated at the end of the day than it did before. Delivers an instant moisture boost.

HOW IT WORKS: Works nonstop for 72 hours, leaving skin endlessly plump and dewy even after washing your face. Provides both immediate and long-term hydration. Helps plump up fine, dry lines and quickly restores hydration and binds water to the skin. Skin stays soft and comfortable in changing climates allowing the skin to adjust to shifts in humidity and temperature which can result in loss of hydration. Helps restore proper moisture balance whilst helping to protect against environmental damage.

HOW I USE IT: After my cleansing routine, I use it under or over makeup. And I never missed applying it before bedtime.

REVIEW: I have heard a lot of good reviews about this wonder face cream. Then I have received a sample and tried it then bought one for myself at the beginning of the autumn last year. It really absorbs and makes your skin plump and it doesn’t feel sticky on your face. It doesn’t ruin or make your makeup cakey. It keeps my skin supple and hydrated all day and all night. I love this moisturiser.

So there we have it, a little look at my favourite Clinique skincare products. Clinique products can be a little pricey but they last me for 6 months to a year and they are really perfect for my sensitive and dry skin.

Have you used any Clinique skincare products? Which one is your favourite? What do you look for in skincare?

Lots of Love,
