Clinique face wash was first introduced to me about twelve years ago. When I worked at Starbucks, a coworker told me how much the product worked for her. I had bad acne at the time and could not afford to go to go dermatologist.
I was a little skeptical at first due to the fact that I had tried many off-the-counter products that didn’t do much to improve my acne. So, I thought I’d give it a try. It did not disappoint! I was pleasantly surprised at how much my skin cleared with products from Clinique. My roommate at the time actually starting using Clinique when she saw how much it cleared my skin.
Here I am many years later still using Clinique products faithfully. Moving away from these products is simply impossible for me to do.
The Starter Trio: Clinique Signature 3-Step Skin Care System
If you are using Clinique for the first time, their signature 3-step skincare routine products is the prefect starter kit for you. These formulas were also developed by Clinique dermatologist. These three products have really changed the game for me when it comes to a good skincare routine that actually work. These three products are 100% fragrance free for individuals who may be sensitive to scents.
1. Clinique All About Clean Liquid Facial Wash
This facial liquid is the very first step of the Clinique 3-step skincare process. Not only does this product leave your face feeling refreshed, you won’t find dryness or flaking to the skin after a good wash. After you’ve cleansed your face with the “all about clean” you will apply the “Clarifying Lotion 2.”
2. Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2
The “clarifying lotion 2” while exfoliating, sweeps away dulling flakes from the skin. The routine for using this product works best with a cotton ball. After you apply the “clarifying lotion” to the cotton ball and sway it around the face, you will notice the dulling flakes from the the skin the cotton ball. I will admit, sometimes you may feel a slight burning sensation in areas of the face where dull flakes may be the heaviest. You will only feel that burn for a few seconds if it happens. It doesn’t happen often to me but sometimes it does. It actually, makes me feel like a thorough cleanse is taking place when I feel a little burn.
3. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
This is Clinique’s #1 face moisturizing lotion. I absolutely love the way this product feels on my skin after applying the clarifying lotion. It gives my face a slight shine after applying and my skin feels like it can breath. I’ve used many brands of facial moisturizer, this one by far is my favorite.
You can also purchase three products in travel size when you’re on the go.
My Favorite Lipsticks from Clinique
35 Think Bronze Lipstick
If you’re like me and like to keep it simply. The “35 Think Bronze” is your girl. I am obsessed with this color. Why? because it’s not too much but not too little at the same time. The soft sort rose gold nudish color I feel fits me like a glove.
Clinique Black Honey
This very smooth to the touch product, is very much for those that like a soft “not too much” but “not too little” type of lipstick. This product in my opinion is more like a gloss than a lipstick. It moisturizes the lips perfectly and gives them a sweet shin. The packaging was lovely, and the slim tube is easy to slide in your pocket, purse or makeup bag when you’re in a hurry. This will make the perfect stocking stuffer for the holidays.
