If you are looking for a new skincare line to try then maybe my routine will work for you! Today I am happy to share with you how I keep my skin fresh, hydrated and glowing. I am sharing my experience with a brand that I have been using since grade 10. Wow, can you believe I have been using this system for 6 years? I can barely believe it myself but, it is true! And that is exactly why I thought you needed to know all about it.
I know how hard it is to find the right product line that doesn’t make your skin dry out or break out! I have been there too girl. I searched high and low, scoured the internet for days reading countless reviews and articles just like you have. And I took forever to make up my mind! But then I came across Clinique. I thought What did I have to lose? And then I took the plunge buying the Clinique 3-Step System and I haven’t looked back!
I love this skin care line with a passion and it is always my number one recommendation for any skin type! So are you ready to find the right skin care line for you? Yes!! That is just what I thought! Then keep reading! Below I explain what I am using right now, why I love it and how I use it day and night! It’s how I keep my face acne clear, hydrated and ready for anything that the day throws my way! And who knows maybe this will be the next skin care line for you!
| Step One || Cleanse
The cleanser that I recently started using is the Clinique Liquid Facial Soap. I used to use the full line up of the Acne Solutions but changed because my acne has toned down since high school. I start by splashing your face with warm water to open up all my pores then I remove my make up. Next, I rub a small pea size amount of my Clinique Liquid Facial Soap in between my fingers tips then apply it all over my face in a circular motion. Then I rinse with warm water until all the soap is gone. Next, I give my face a splash of cold water to close all my pores this is important!
I love both of these products but since my acne has cleaned up a lot I decided that I wanted a gentler cleanser. Now don’t shy away because I said gentler, the Clinique Liquid Facial Soap removes all that dirt from the day without drying out my face. It leaves my face feeling smooth, calm and fresh. Did I mention that it is also perfect for every skin type? Whether you have dry skin, oily skin, acne prone skin or a combination of all of that like I do then I am sure you will be in love with it too.
| Step Two || Clarify
After cleaning I move on to clarifying or toning as some people call it. I really love this step! It takes away any extra pollen, grim, or grease that you may have missed when you were washing and it prepares your skin for the moisturizer. I start by applying a small amount to a cotton pad then I swipe it across my whole face, cheeks, chin, forehead and all! Then I let it air dry before I move onto the last step.
I use the Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion for an extra acne fighting chance because yes even now I still get the odd flash of acne due to stress or the extra cupcake that I indulged in. Don’t judge I am just being honest with you!! And if I am telling the truth then I have to tell you that this clarifying lotion really works when it comes to fighting acne. I have been using it on and off since I was in about grade 10!! It just works so well for me and my skin I haven’t been able to find anything else that works as good because why change something that is working so wonderfully?
| Step Three || Moisturize
Start by applying a small pea-sized amount in your fingertips then gently massage it into your face until it is all gone. If you need a little more just repeat this step until you feel your skin is well hydrated. Keep in mind a little goes a long way, aha I found this out the hard way!
Moisturizing is what I would say is one of the most important parts of the whole three step system! It locks in all the cleanser and the clarifying lotion and leaves your skin feeling ready for anything the day throws your way. I have been using the Clinique Moister Surge Hydrating Lotion lately because with the weather changing from sun to rain every other day my skin has been very dry and all over the place. The Moisture Surge Hydrating Lotion fights even the driest of my skin leaving it feeling calm and rehydrated. not to mention that makes me feel like I can take on the biggest and baddest of days.
