Expert Secret

The cleanser you use is important. It cleans your skin twice a day every day, so it’s important to choose a cleanser of the highest quality.

Clarins advice.

. It’s essential!

Even if you’re not wearing make-up, cleanse skin before bed (even if it’s late) to remove all traces of impurities. Be sure to cleanse again in the morning as well, to eliminate nightly secretions.

. Cleanse in the right order.

Always start by cleansing the eyes, or you risk wiping impurities onto a clean face.

. Gently does it.

Pulling the skin stretches tissues and speeds up skin aging. Discover the Clarins cleansing method from our Institute’s expertise to remove all impurities without pulling or stretching skin.

. Absorb don’t rub.

For the same reasons as above, never rinse or wipe the face by rubbing. Instead, place a tissue over the face and absorb.

. Make the right choice.

For your eyes only: Use Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover Lotion or Instant Eye Make Up Remover. For Tthe fresh feel of water, use: Gentle Foaming Cleanser. For Qquick cleansing: , use One-Step Facial Cleanser, One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser and One-Step Cleansing Waters.

For total comfort: Cleansing Milks and Extra-Comfort Cleansing Cream.

A little extra tip!

Make cleansing a pleasure! It’s the first treat of the day and the last of the evening! A tip: use a variety of textures for different sensations – the fresh feel of water, a silky-smooth lotion, a revitalizing exfoliator or a soft, gentle cream.

· Which products should be applied during the day and which ones at night?

In the morning, we recommend using a product which will provide a gentle ‘lift’ effect like Eye Contour Gel, Advanced Extra-Firming Eye Contour Serum or Eye Revive Beauty Flash. These products will work primarily on diminishing the eyes’ fatigued appearance.

At night, choose products with a richer texture, a balm or cream according to your needs.
