I really am having a skincare kick and over past year or two Clarins has become my favourite skincare brand
I still try other brands but I always come back to Clarins. Before I used to associate Clarins with my mum and nan's age group haha how wrong was I lol. I love that Clarins products are plant based. Whilst having retail therapy on my birthday I wanted to buy the Clarins Pure Radiant face mask so when I popped into John lewis Oxford street the SA said they had an offer of buy 2products you get to choose 4travel size skincare essentials of your choice so I thought hell yeah,might as well. I bought Clarins Pure radiant mask and Clarins Daily energizer cleansing gel and chose products to suit my needs.

Lovely people at Creme de la mer John Lewis was kind enough to send me a birthday card for mini facial of my choice and get free sample of serum of my choice I chose the Brightening Facial which helps with dark spots and brightening, the beauty therapist was so lovely and helpful,explaining things into detail, Sarah was her name and we chatted away like old mates. I loved the Mini facial, made my skin glow without makeup here is to hoping I win lotto and purchase all the products from BLANC DE LA MER range haha. I also requested sample of the Moisturising Soft cream which launched last year as the Original Creme De La Mer can be too thick for my liking and everyday use.
The other two samples are the newly launched Clarins Double serum Complete Age Total Concentrate
The Clarins Double Serum Complete Age Control Concentrate is an essential skin treatment that infuses the complexion with the power of 20 anti-ageing pure plant extracts.
The lightweight, luxurious serum reactivates the 5 vital functions of skin: hydration, nutrition, protection, oxygenation and regeneration. This works to intensely boost hydration, radiance and collagen production, while fighting the effects of ageing, stress and pollution. Skin is firmer, smoother and more resilient day by day.
Created with almost 30 years of anti-ageing research and expertise, the Double Serum harnesses the two-fold power of hydric (water-soluble) and lipidic (oil-soluble) phases in two separate pump dispensers, which are mixed only when applied. This ensures maximum concentration of the best skincare ingredients, delivered directly to the skin.
Use the Clarins Double Serum both morning and evening after your usual cleansing routine, and follow up with moisturiser.
