Clinique CLASSIC 3-step and more..

CLINIQUE

 

 Between beauty routines, all the make-up, stress and daily environmental pollutants, one product that definitely calms my skin, is CLINIQUE. What gal doesn't needs a little CLINIQUE? Shockingly ME. Believe it or not, I didn't use CLINIQUE until this past year (I know, where the heck was I??) Well, I have really tricky, sensitive skin that even though I don't break out, my skin can dry out or worse - blister in a rash, if a product is too harsh. There are days when I hide from make-up, and let CLINIQUE pamper my face (really, I go rogue!)

                             
                                          Make-up FREE is sometimes, the way to be! 

CLINIQUE came to the rescue and I tried their world famous 3-Step Program
(Cleanse - mild combination skin liquid facial soap $16.20 6.7 fl. oz, Exfoliate - clarifying lotion 2 for dry combination skin $13.00 6.7 oz and Moisturize - dramatically different moisturizing gel $26 4.2 oz.) I also received their Moisture Surge gel-creme, "extended thirst relief". Being that I test so many beauty products, I love how CLINIQUE is super soft and gentle, while removing all the dirt and grime accumulated throughout the day.

3-Step Program for dry-combination skin
The Liquid Facial Soap in "mild" (Step 1) at first seemed to me as if it wouldn't get the job done, but I was so wrong. It removed all traces of oil and make-up and left my face very smooth. NOW, I tend to stay away from astringents, but CLINIQUE'S Clarifying Lotion just tingled and finished removing all residue left behind by the cleaner. My skin feel "squeaky-clean" without the tightness and dryness one would expect. The "dramatically different moisturizing gel" I received, is for oily/combination skin, which I found out I have (forehead, nose.) I would stay away from lotions, fearing it would make me break out. I would only end up with dry skin.

What about the eyes? Well, after a grueling Mercedes Benz Fashion Week this past September, CLINIQUE once again made sure that I remained refreshed, rested-looking and puff-free! (check out my review on BeautyStat.com: http://www.beautystat.com/2014-best-fashion-week-survival)
