Clarins Skin Beauty Repair Concentrate

For those of you who have sensitive skin, if you have not tried this, you absolutely need to.  It basically is sensitive skin SOS in a bottle. This treatment oil from the much loved skincare brand Clarins was created for sensitive skin that reacts to every little thing. It was designed to instantly calm even the most extreme irritations and inflammations thanks to its ingredients of 90% plant extracts.

I started using this product for extreme inflammation on my skin. If you have read any of my other skin care posts you will know that I have slightly problematic skin, which all started when I fell pregnant with my daughter. My skin has never really been the same since, and I have on countless occasions changed my skincare and added different oils and multi vitamins to my diet to try and help my irritating skin problems. The bad breakouts that had dominated my skin for 10 months, left a lot of angry looking red inflammation under my skin, and it was really getting to me. The only way I could seem to cover them up was by using a lot of concealer and a heavy foundation on a daily basis. So, I decided that 2013 was going to be the year that I get my skin looking as flawless as I can. My aim is to be able to leave the house make up free and feel confident in doing so. 

So, this product was given to me as a gift from a friend of mine who works for Clarins, she used the words "miracle" and "immediate results", so i was delighted to get my hands on it and see if it could help my problematic skin.

I started to use this product at night time, putting two drops of the oil into my hand and lightly rubbing it into the inflamed areas of my skin before I applied my moisturiser. It smells beautiful, like an aromatherapy oil, and the consistency is so light. As I have combination skin, I am quite wary of putting oils onto it, but this just feels so light, it doesn't even feel like an oil. For the first week I used it every night, and I could actually see a drastic reduction in the high colouring in my inflamed areas. My skin looked so much clearer after just one weeks use. So I now use it three times a week as a treatment, and I am so happy with the results I am seeing. I'm not quite ready to brave the world bare faced, but i am happy to say I now wear just a little concealer under a BB cream! For me that's halfway to where I want to be, so I will continue using it, and who knows by the summer I  might have that flawless skin I dream of!!
