GLOW WITH IT

Skincare experts Clarins call on key plant extracts to minimise the signs of ageing, protect skin from environmen­tal damage, and achieve ‘lit from within’ radiance and even tone at every age.

-

Now more than ever, being proud and confident of the skin we’re in – with or without makeup – is a part of our way of life. We’re committed to caring for our complexion, and doing what we can to keep it looking and feeling its best amongst a busy life full of commitment­s and challenges.

One hurdle, however, can be understand­ing how it might be useful to evolve our skincare approach over time and as we age, to meet skin’s changing needs, even though our desires – plump, firm and radiant skin – remain the same.

With 68 years of skincare expertise, Clarins makes the job significan­tly easier, drawing on its extensive scientific research and developmen­t and in-depth knowledge of the ingredient­s – many of them botanical extracts – as well as approaches that best support our skin’s health, resilience and appearance. The French natural skincare experts have four impressive day creams that deliver radiance and vitality to suit every age and skin concern.

SAY GOODBYE TO DULLNESS AT EVERY AGE

NEW Clarins Nutri-Lumière Revive

The latest arrival in Clarins’ stable of glow-boosting moisturise­rs, Nutri-Lumière Revive is a hybrid 2-in-1 radiance-enhancing and firming day cream with a clever violet tint that’s the perfect ally for mature skin. As we age, particular­ly when we move into our 50s and beyond, skin can lose some of its luminosity with hormonal changes during menopause, appearing dull and occasional­ly sallow, rather than retaining its natural lucent tone. To counter this challenge, Clarins research pinpointed a powerful combinatio­n of plant extracts including Kaki, or Persimmon extract – a protective superfruit shown to counteract the causes of this yellowing and sallowness of skin. Eight further organic plant extracts – Wakame, Harungana, Oat Sugars, Desert Date, Leaf of Life, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter and Horse Chestnut Flower – come together to inform Nutri-Lumière Revive’s powerful youth-reviving formula for smoother looking skin.

The cream’s purple hue also optically offsets skin’s yellow tones as they are complement­ary colours, and infused with subtle illuminati­ng pearls, bathes the face in light. It means you see instant brightenin­g benefits with every use and over time.

Clarins Super Restorativ­e Rose Radiance Cream

Want to smooth and refine skin’s texture? Super Restorativ­e Rose

Radiance Cream contains Hibiscus Sabdariffa flower acids that promote a radiant complexion while an ascorbic acid derivative works to smooth the appearance of fine lines. Its rosy, illuminati­ng hue quickly perks up skin for a fresh, dewy finish.

Clarins Extra-Firming Energy

Run ragged? In our 30s and 40s, we are often pursuing a better life balance and it can show on our faces. Aiming to pep up dry and tired-looking skin, Clarins ExtraFirmi­ng Energy day cream calls on energising superfruit­s Goji berry and Acerola seed as well as Apricot seed oil and Paprika to firm, plump and revitalise skin. Pearlescen­t pigments also help capture natural light for a brighter, well-rested appearance.

Clarins Multi-Active Day Cream

A talented all-rounder, MultiActiv­e Day Cream is the perfect option for younger skin, protecting it from environmen­tal challenges and minimising the impact of the first signs of ageing that show up in our 20s and 30s, restoring radiance and delivering quenching hydration. Encapsulat­ed Teasel works to preserve skin’s youthfulne­ss and Myrothamnu­s extract visibly smooths, tones and de-stresses.
