Loving It Series- New Skin Care Products

Being an avid makeup enthusiast, I love experimenting with the latest beauty products in the market. Recently, I used a few products for the first time and would love to recommend the superb products to the readers.

Let’s check out the Loving It Series, as I call them:

Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil

An amazing product, this rejuvenating face oil makes an excellent alternative to face serums. It is made of hazelnut oil along with pure plant extracts of Rosewood, Patchouli and Blue Orchid. I love this product because it leaves my skin soft, supple and hydrated. It has a thin consistency and does not give a heavy or oily finish, rather leaves the skin looking radiant and healthy. What more, it is effective for getting rid of blemishes and open pores too. Just apply the oil in the evening and leave it overnight to let the skin soak it.

Tropika Skin Coconut Cleansing Oil

Another skin care product that I fell in love with is Tropika Skin Coconut Cleansing Oil which is just right for sensitive skin. The best thing about this cleansing oil is that it is formulated with natural ingredients, virgin coconut oil and olive oil. While virgin coconut oil keeps the skin clear and blemish-free, olive oil prevents premature aging. Together, these ingredients work magic to remove the makeup and leave the skin smooth, soft and clear. Mix a few drops with some water and massage on your face to get rid of dirt and makeup gently.

Coola SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray

Coola SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray is a great product if you are an outdoor lover. Made with 97% organic inactive ingredients, the spray offers active sun protection naturally. It contains aloe, algae, cucumber and strawberry extracts which work together to hydrate, nourish and repair dry and damaged skin. Algae and strawberry extracts give protection from the harmful UV rays. The spray comes in natural citrus mimosa and pina colada fragrances and I absolutely love both of them.

Estee Lauder- Perfectly Clean Triple Action Cleanser, Toner and Makeup Remover

A versatile product, this one is something I would recommend for all. It is a refreshing, airy foam cleanser that removes makeup and impurities gently and thoroughly, without drying the skin. It leaves the skin toned and luminous, without any oily residue. The product is enriched with natural botanicals and minerals that comfort and clarify the skin. Gently massage it on dry skin and rinse it off.

Price: £ 26.00

Clarins SPF 50 Sunscreen

Another Clarins product that I would like to talk about is Clarins SPF 50 Sunscreen. It is a lightweight and oil-free day screen that provides complete protection from UVA/UVB rays. It also protects the skin from pollution and damage caused by free radicals. Clarins’ pioneering Anti-Pollution Complex forms an invisible shield for the skin, keeping it safe from premature aging and dark spots.

I recommend that you make all these products a part of your daily skin-care regime to get a radiant, youthful and beautiful skin.

Clarins 50+ SPF Sunscreen For Face Wrinkle Control Cream Review

Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Cream SPF 50 1

We all think that SPF is something we should only wear in summers and hence I chose to write about this product only when we are heading towards winter season. In all honesty, SPF is not for summers alone, but is a necessity all year round, be it  summer or winter or any other season. The bottom line is, whenever you are out in sun, or exposed to even indoor lights of a certain kind, you can get tanned  – I know it’s scary, but that’s the truth.

For many years now, I have been wearing SPF most of the time when I am out and it has made a huge improvement to how my skin looks and feels. SPF helps in preventing aging of the skin caused by UVA and UVB rays, besides prevention of tan as well. I will go into more details about SPF another day – watch out for that girls, I promise you it will be a good read and very informative.

Clarins 50+ SPF Sunscreen For Face Wrinkle Control Cream is an anti-aging sunscreen that protects your skin while defending it against wrinkles and age spots. “Wrinkle control cream” here doesn’t mean it’s only for people above a certain age but simply that it has antii-aging properties which will prevent your skin from aging because of exposure to sunrays.

Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Cream SPF 50

This product has Clarins’ patented Phyto-Sunactyl 2 Multi-Cellular protection complex – which in layman’s terms is designed to strengthen and reinforce the skin and protect against collagen damage.

The above photos capture the UVA logo is in a circle which means that at least a 1/3 of the UV protection is against UVA.

The formula of this product is a richer SPF Cream but with more of a liquidy consistency. It absorbs into the skin in about 10 minutes or less. I always prefer to wear my sunscreen about 10-20 minutes before I head out for it to be most effective. It can be a bit oily for some but you can easily control that translucent powder and even wear makeup on top if you like.  For me, some sunscreens can cause breakouts as I have a slightly sensitive skin, but that has never happened with Clarins.

When it comes to sunscreen products, I am very selective and have done lots of research on the same. I have tested more than 4 Sunscreen products this summer itself, and for me Clarins is always the product I return to. It has worked for me every time and protected me when in the sun. Simply put, I love Clarins’ sun products.

This Clarins Sun product is also available in SPF15 and SPF30, with a wider selection for the face and body. They also have a range for kids which I am yet to try.

Final Verdict:

Pros:
Great sun protection.
Value for money (Good size for a decent price).
Lasts a long time.

Cons:
Maybe a tad bit too oily

Star Rating: 4

Price in UK: £19.50
