Clinique Must Haves

Clinique is one of my favorite affordable skincare lines. The products are well formulated and feel very clean and for lack of a better word, clinical. I've been introduced to some products I've never tried before from the line and I just had to share them with you. Here are some of my new favorites.I love Clinique's take the day off makeup remover because it really does take off every little bit of eye makeup and lipstick leaving your eyes fresh and bright and your lips ready for a great lip treatment before bed. One full size bottle lasts for two or three months and I use cotton pads rather than cotton balls with this product. I also stock up on mini sizes at Sephora and they're fantastic for travel.
I used to have dark spots from past blemishes and nothing worked for them until i discovered Dr.Miracles three step acne system and Clinique's Turnaround Radiance Peel Once-A-Week System. I use the two systems side by side and they have drastically changed the appearance of my skin and have visibly reduced my dark spots. The system is extremely simple to use you simply take the little jar filled with a potent toner like serum which you apply with a cotton ball or pad to your face. I like to use the excess on my neck and decolletage. The system breaks down dead skin cells which make your skin appear dull and also evens out your skintone drastically.

Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Corrector

I've been using Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Corrector for the past 3 weeks and I am raving about this product. If you have olive to dark skin you know how annoying dark spots from past blemishes can be. Instead of covering up your flaws with loads of foundation and concealer treat them with Clinique's Even Better Skin Tone Corrector and watch them vanish forever. Simply cleanse your face with a mild face wash, I recommend the Purity cleanser by philosophy and then apply the skin tone corrector before you go bed. You can also use it during the day but don't forget your sunscreen. Sun exposure can make your dark spots even darker. Remember, beauty starts with great skin. Visit Clinique today and get ready to become absolutely flawless.

Clear Skin Made Easy With Clinique

My search for an easy skincare regimen for beautiful skin is over. Thanks to Clinique's three step acne solutions system, skincare has become affordable, effective and most of all simple. The system is composed of three products which you use three times a day that are gentle yet very effective. You will see an improvement within a few days. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Cleanse with the cleansing foam. The cleansing foam is so gentle but lathers up so well leaving your skin feeling clean but not raw. It's similar to the purity foam by philosophy.


Step 2: Tone with the clarifying lotion. You'll need to shake the bottle vigorously to dissolve the sediments into the solvent. You apply the clarifying lotion using a cotton ball and it removes all excess dirt and oil that the cleanser didn't pick up leaving no chance for bacteria to attack your skin all day or night. It also improves your skin tone and exfoliates dead skin from the surface allowing the next step, the clearing moisturizer to work its magic more effectively.

Step 3: Moisturize with the clearing moisturizer. I adore how hydrating this moisturizer is. It soothes your skin and leaves your skin fresh.


This regimen is to be followed two times a day. This system is perfect for males and females with all types of skin types, and I recommend it even if you do not suffer from acne. It's best to prevent it before it happens. You never know when your skin will breakout so it's best to be prepared. If you don't suffer from acne and use this system rest assured your skin will be soft, clear and beautiful. Remember no matter how great your skin is it's important to remove a days worth of makeup and pollution, exfoliate dead skin and also to moisturize, everything this system includes. On the other hand no matter how bad your skin is there is hope and it can be repaired. This system is a great start. Get it here.
