I love Clinique. Skin care fads come and go, but Clinique is established, reliable and innovative. Your face is the first thing people see – so why would you trust its care to anything else?
As a doctor, I’m only too aware that we absorb many things through our skin – good and bad, and it concerns me that not all skin care products contain only beneficial ingredients. So thank goodness for Clinique, because they’ve embraced medical science from the off, launching the first-ever dermatologist-developed skin care products back in 1968. Researching better products is still their major focus, meaning they have the benefit of experience and innovation – so important for anything going on your skin.
All Clinique’s products are gentle, non-irritant and yet powerful, allowing your skin to be the very best it can. Whatever your skin type, they’ve got something specifically for you.
So when I was asked to test Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+TM I was so excited I even did a little dance (my two young grandsons did roll their eyes, but fortunately they’re resigned to their grandma’s eccentricities).
Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+TM contains barley, sunflower and cucumber, plus natural moisturising factors (NMFs) to balance and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier, meaning the moisture stays in, where it should be. It’s best for dry, very dry or combination dry skin types. It hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier – keeping moisture in and harmful irritants out for up to 8 hours.
I love the familiar yellow colour of this very light moisturiser. Within seconds of applying, it had absorbed completely and my skin felt immediately different – softer, smoother, and even my hard-core wrinkles look decidedly less sure of themselves. There was no pungent perfume, just pure natural moisturisation and my skin is saying ‘thank you’ right now.
This moisturiser is just perfect for my (definitely dry) skin but if you’re not sure what to choose, then you simply must try their Clinical Reality tool –let the app take a photo of your face and it gives an immediate readout on your skin hydration, skin tone evenness, irritation and blemishes and much more. Then just answer a couple of simple questions about your skin and you’ll get a personal skin care recommendation – it took me less than 5 minutes and was really informative (sadly confirming my skin is no longer that of a twenty-year old).
So do check out the Clinique website – it has a wealth of useful information on skin care and why not treat yourself to Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+TM ? Normal price is from £20 (for 50 ml) however check out their great deals with 200ml for just £35 at the moment.
So if you’re still pondering on New Year Resolutions – a Clinique face care regime is an enjoyable and effective one – treat yourself.
