“Take care of your skin, it is the first thing that people will notice when they meet you!"

“Take care of your skin, it is the first thing that people will notice when they meet you!”...was the advise my mother always instilled in me. However in latter years, I seemed to let this crucial piece of advise slip. I was either “too busy” or just never justified it in my weekly shop.

 

As you can imagine I really enjoyed being a part of the Clarins Multi-active trial! I was aware of the Clarins brand before, but always thought it was something I couldn't afford to buy just to try because I'm on a tight budget.

 

I'm 34, and have a 19 month old daughter who is my whole world but the lack of sleep is really starting to show and I feel like I've aged a lot - I don't even get ID'd any more, I guess the people at the checkout feel sorry for me lol because I look so tired! I've been thinking I need to spice up my beauty regime because I don't use any moisturiser at all so was intrigued to try Clarins and see how I get on.

It was surprisingly easy to fit into my busy day, making me realise I should really have started moisturising sooner!

 

I was really excited to start on my journey with Clarins, opening the box was like receiving a luxurious present just for me! The packaging is simple, effective and the pots are smooth to touch and clearly labelled. Both the day and night cream smell divine! It glides onto the skin smoothly and is absorbed quickly without any tacky feeling afterwards and leaves you feeling refreshed and lovely and smooth to touch. With the Day cream I was comfortable to put make-up on within minutes which was important to me as I don't have a lot of time when getting ready as there's normally a child hanging from my leg whilst I get ready.

 

I really feel that my skin looks allot healthier and feels lovely and soft to touch. I can't say that the creams have made me look miraculously younger or less tired (sadly I think only a good nights sleep will get rid of the bags under my eyes)
