Beauty FAQ
Comment avoir une belle peau ?

How can I get clear, glowing skin?

Our skin is exposed to different stressors and variations throughout the year, as nature follows its cycles, the weather changes and the activities of our private lives vary.

The skin on the face, a particularly sensitive area, is exposed to these external stressors and variations in climate on a daily basis. It requires special attention at the start of the season to help it to adapt and feel its best all year round.

Support it through the changing of the seasons by adapting to its needs and learning how to keep it clear and fresh, maintaining a healthy glow whatever the weather!

01 How to cleanse my skin

How to cleanse my skin

The first step to beautiful skin is to help it renew daily.

Cleansing is the key to a fresh and radiant complexion. Make time to devote a few minutes to it each day.

Whether you’re going out or staying at home, wearing make-up or not, your skin needs to be cleansed of traces of pollution and excess sebum every day. There's a cleanser for every skin type, whether combination, oily or dry.

Our skincare range includes instant make-up removers, cleansing milks, water-based cleansers, foaming or exfoliating gels to help you give your face the most suitable care.

Cleansing water, often called micellar water, recommended for faces with imperfections, is applied morning and night using cotton wool. There’s no need to rinse after applying, as the skin is purified and its natural hydration is preserved. Water-based exfoliation solutions eliminate dead skin cells to give skin a new lease of life.

With a refreshing and soothing effect, our make-up removers and cleansers take care of cleansing your skin and the area around the eyes, which are normally so sensitive to irritation .

A gentle facial skincare routine is the best way to start your day if you want to look after your skin.

02 What are the benefits of gentle cleansing?

What are the benefits of gentle cleansing?

Cleansers eliminate the day’s make-up and impurities, providing comfort and softness for your skin.

They leave the skin soft and clean, with a pleasant feeling of suppleness and freshness. Clarins' botanical experts travelled to India to harvest the detoxifying power of the Moringa plant. Rich in vitamins and minerals, this powerful natural ingredient is present in our range of cleansers.

It helps oxygenate the skin and eliminate pollution particles, leaving skin free from impurities and able to breathe.

03 How to use cleansers

How to use cleansers

Apply cleansers to your skin using the Clarins recommended method:

1

Warm

the cleanser between the palms of your hands to bring it up to skin temperature.

2

APPLY

the product by simple contact using the entire surface of the hands. Do not apply pressure.

3

Lay the hands

flat on the face and neck and remove hands as briskly as possible.

4

Repeat 7 times:

the cleansing milk will thicken and sponge away make-up and impurities without irritating or disturbing the tissue.

5

Rinse or wipe off.

Apply toner to finish.

04 How can I wake my skin up after cleansing?

How can I wake my skin up after cleansing?

After removing your make-up and cleansing your skin, wake up your complexion with a Clarins toner.

There’s a wide range of products to choose from according to your skin type and its specific needs.

Applying a toner gives a real boost of freshness, which will quickly make it an essential part of your beauty routine!  Whether you apply toner as a wake-up call in the morning or for some relaxation time in the evening, it restores the skin's velvety texture and vitality, leaving you feeling refreshed. Your skin will feel smooth, beautiful and will take on a gorgeous glow!

Soak two cotton pads and gently wipe them over your face and neck morning and night to hydrate, tone and prepare skin to fully reap the benefits of any product you apply afterwards. This prepping action makes your skincare as effective as possible.

05 How do I keep my skin hydrated throughout the day?

How do I keep my skin hydrated throughout the day?

Your skin needs to be nourished and hydrated to make sure that it feels its best all year round.

It requires different amounts of water depending on your age and the current season. You must listen to what your skin wants in order to give it the hydration it needs. Moisturise it twice a day (morning and night) with suitable effective skincare products.

The UV protection Clarins Hydra-Essentiel SPF15 moisturising day cream enhances glow and protects your skin throughout the day. It activates self-hydration in all environmental conditions.

06 What does organic leaf of life do?

What does organic leaf of life do?

Hydra-Essentiel Cream is enriched with extracts of a powerful activator of natural hydration from Madagascar called organic leaf of life.

Clarins experts extract the potent moisturising active ingredients from the leaves, and have shown that it can stimulate the synthesis of hyaluronic acid.

It works day after day to help all layers of the skin stay hydrated, and it will be your best ally in giving your skin the intense nourishment, comfort and radiance it needs.

Regardless of your age or skin type, you can achieve beautiful, soft and silky-smooth skin every day when using a product that contains this ingredient.

Healthy skin is something else that will help you feel radiant and comfortable in your body. Everything that you do to indulge in life’s little pleasures, enjoying the happy moments, laughing and getting out in the sun will be great for your complexion and your wellbeing.
