Every Day Face

Beauty Regime

For my own personal facial beauty regime I use Clinique's 4 Piece Set which consists of; A liquid facial soap (mild), a Clarifying toner Lotion,  a Dramatically Different moisturising lotion+ and Moisture surge intense Creme in Type 2 Dry/Combination Skin.

I have been using these products for over a year now and I have noticed my skin looks a lot brighter and fresher. I always receive comments about how radiant my skin looks. I have also suffered from bad acne in the past so I found the type 2 dry/combination skin care pack especially good because it dealt with the oily t-zone area as well as patches that may get dry like my outer cheeks.

Here is how my routine plans out;

Step 1: I splash my face my luke warm water a few times to ensure if not all then most pores are open. Then I apply Clinique Liquid Facial Soap which is a mild soap in light green liquid form which feels extremely soft on the skin and lathers up. Then I rinse this off with luke warm water consistently to ensure all soap is off. Finally, I pat my face gently with a towel.

Step 2: As I bought a set from Clinique, inside the set were a few of Clinique's specially designed cotton pads to apply the toner to. However you can use any cotton pads. Applying Clinique's Clarifying toner Lotion to the cotton pads must be carefully placed as you don't want too much product - and you don't want to waste it either! I brush the cotton pad across my face with the toner specifically focusing in and around the nose area where blackheads live. You will be amazed what you take off on your cotton pads. Repeat this a few times, with a  different and clean pad each time. The pad will usually run clean once everything is away from your face.

Step 3: Your face will now feel tingly from the toner. Your face feels cold yet fresh. Then I apply a walnut sized amount of Clinique's Dramatically different moisturising lotion+ and apply it all over my face. The cream sets in really nicely with a light firm hold but not hard or dry feeling. My skin feels nourished and soft.

Step 4: This step is only necessary if you have dry patches or areas on your face that need a little extra attention. This is where Clinique's moisture surge intense Creme comes in. This is a bonus to the cream you already have in this pack. It's a gel Creme so 50/50 combination of gel and Creme.  It works as an intense Creme to focus on areas that could appear dry when you apply your foundation.
