Cleansing Routine

Everyone needs a daily cleansing routine, whether you're male or female, whatever your age or skin type, your skin needs to be cleaned, exfolitated and sufficiently hydrated.

Having a cleansing routine also creates a fantastic natural base for make-up; ensuring a smooth, flake free surface when putting on foundation or concealer.

I use Clinique's 3-Step Skin Care Regime each day and it is a fantastic way to obtain and maintain glowing, healthy skin.

The first thing you have to do is identify your skin type.
Skin Type 1 - Very Dry to Dry
Skin Type 2 - Dry Combination
Skin Type 3 - All Skin Types
Skin Type 4 - Very Oily

The Skin Type that you are will determine which Clinique 3-Step products you buy.

The first step is to cleanse your skin. For this Clinique provides a specially formulated soap, which comes in either a liquid or a bar.

There are three different types of soap:

Mild (for skin types 1&2)

Oily (for skin types 3&4)

Extra Mild (for skin type 1).

The second step is to exfoliate, using Clinique's Clarifying Lotion.

This comes in a number of different formulas, for each of the different skin types:

Clarifying Lotion 1 - for very dry to dry skin

Clarifying Lotion 2 - for dry combination skin

Clarifying Lotion 3 - for all skin types

Clarifying Lotion 4 - for very oily skin

Anti Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion - for all skin types.

The third step is to moisturise.

There are two different types of Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturiser. A lotion, for skin types 1&2 and a gel for skin types 3&4.

The results that you get from using these products are instantaneous, but are also still visible over a period of time. Making your skin continuously feel healthier, smoother and brighter.
