Face

Different skin types require unique skincare routines to treat specific concerns. Understanding your skin type is the first step to committing to an effective skincare routine with the correct face skincare products that help replenish moisture and radiance.

Dry skin is a common concern that often involves flakiness, rough patches, itchiness, tightness and more, including the premature formation of fine lines and wrinkles. If you have dry skin, you need more than just a good moisturiser. Follow these steps to achieve the healthy, silky-smooth complexion of your dreams, starting with Clarins’ face products designed for dry skin.

Step 1: Cleanser for dry skin

A cleanser is a vital first step of every skincare routine, especially if you have dry skin. Use a gentle foaming cleanser like the Hydrating Gentle Foaming Cleanser or the Soothing Gentle Foaming Cleanser to wash away grime, make-up and excess sebum from the skin. The Velvet Cleansing Milk is also a perfectly moisturising moisturiser option for dry skin. These facial cleansers are made with hydrating benefits that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils.

Step 2: Toner for dry skin

Toners help to prep your skin after cleansing to receive maximum nutrients from the next skincare products, in addition to eliminating any excess dirt and make-up from the surface.

Getting a hydrating, alcohol-free toner like the Soothing Toning Lotion helps to prevent irritation or dehydration on your dry skin.

While in terms of treatment essence, our range of treatment essences like the Extra-Firming Treatment Essence, Multi-Active Revitalising Treatment Essence and Super Restorative Treatment Essence will definitely provide your skin with ample hydration to leave your skin feeling renewed and energised.

Step 3: Serum & eye care for dry skin

Clarins’ serums for dry skin are highly concentrated skincare products containing botanical ingredients that aim to repair, nourish and moisturise. If you have mature skin, the Super Restorative Remodelling Serum will help redefine facial contours, minimise wrinkles and age spots, as well as redensify skin to combat sagging.

Eye care is equally important to maintain a youthful complexion. Say goodbye to dark circles, puffiness and fine lines with the Double Serum Eye, an intensive anti-ageing eye treatment featuring Horse Chestnut, Organic Wild Chervil, Turmeric and other plant extracts.

Step 4: Moisturiser for dry skin

A good moisturiser for dry skin should contain nutrient-rich ingredients that soften your skin without leaving a greasy residue.

Day creams like the Extra-Firming Energy and the Bright Plus Dark Spot-Targeting Moisturising Emulsion are lightweight moisturisers that help to keep the skin hydrated and protected from environmental pollutions during the day, while night creams such as the Extra-Firming Night Cream and the Super Restorative Night Cream are packed with revitalising ingredients to repair the protective layer of your skin while you rest.

Step 5: Exfoliators and masks for dry skin

Now that we’ve covered the daily skincare products, let’s move on to the weekly products that are good for dry skin.

Exfoliators remove dead skin cells and keep your skin soft. Don’t forget to exfoliate once a week with the One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser or the Comfort Scrub to purify your skin and prevent clogged pores.

A hydrating face mask is also essential to ensure your skin stays soft and smooth all week long. Some popular picks for dry skin are the Extra-Firming Mask and SOS Comfort Face Mask, both enriched with plant extracts to nourish and moisturise parched skin.
