As an early twenty-something, I’m still trying to figure out how to operate my stove and budget my paycheck every week. There are a lot of components of adulting that I haven’t touched yet, and for a long time skincare was one of them. It’s easy to disregard preventative cosmetic care when you’re young and can’t see the signs. But when I started developing forehead wrinkles (thanks, stresses of the working world), I began looking into simple skincare routines that could help. Enter Clarins. I’ve touched on them before in a more cosmetic capacity, but the root of Clarins’ mission is anti-aging skin routines.
The new Clarins line was designed specifically for stressed out millennials. They created products that are multi-functional and easy to incorporate into a busy routine. The Double Serum, a longtime Clarins classic, rejuvenates your skin in a matter of minutes, minimizing pores, evening tone, and creating a healthy glow. The newbies are multi-active day and night moisturizers that work to counteract the negative effects of stress while you’re experiencing it.
I’m very minimalist on the beauty front. I wear very little makeup and I like to keep my morning routine under five minutes. Clarins Double Serum and moisturizer are the two products I use consistently every morning no matter what. I’ve always had acne-prone combination skin and the Clarins products moisturize deeply without adding oil. They create a smooth base for applying foundation and on their own they create a glowing, healthy face in seconds. Since I started using these products I’ve had friends, coworkers, and family alike tell me how nice my skin looks.
If I had known how easy it is to take the first steps into skincare, I would’ve done it years ago. Even better? All Clarins moisturizers have built in SPF for sun protection. All your beauty needs are met in one easy morning application.
