Advantages: Fantastic on the skin

Disadvantages: slightly pricey!

Although Clarins is quite pricey, my mother has always sworn by their products. Therefore as I was growing up I have watched her use their products, and when my time came I bought them myself. Whereas I am not convinced by their cosmetics range, their skin care ranges are fantastic! Great on the skin!

I first tried the Clarins Cleansing Milk after years of going through many high street cleansers and make-up removing wipes etc. Non worked, and they all made my skin worse rather than better. As my mother had always used their products I started being sneaky and using hers when she was out of the room! I noticed the difference within days! Unfortunately my mother noticed the bottle going down not soon after and so I was forced to buy my own!

Unlike other cleansers, Clarins is gentle on the skin but harsh enough to remove all traces of dirt, make-up and un-block the pores. I have normal skin but things like cleansers can cause breakouts and therefore I have to be careful with the products I use. Clarins dries out imperfections and although it can't stop breakouts, because it is good for your skin, they become less likely or at least not as bad as they previously would have been! This is probably due to the fact that the cleanser is made using the finest, most effective, natural key ingredients. Clarins use the purest plant extracts which they grow with full respect for the environment. This is clear from the moment you begin to use their products.

The cleanser is easy to apply, and on the leaflet you are given with your cleanser you are told to apply the cleanser with your hands and not to rub, but wipe over the skin four times. However I still find the age-old method of applying with cotton wool the best. I feel I can properly clean my face this way! The cleanser is soft on the skin and glides over easily. The colour means it is easy to see where it has been applied and although it does have the tendancy to make your skin look a bit flushed straight after application, that dies down within seconds! As recommended I use the Cleansing Milk twice a day. Once in the evening and once in the morning, I finds this prepares my skin and helps to keep my face clean and clear!

Unfortunately, the only downside for me is that after I have used the cleanser, my boyfriend can't sit near me because it makes his eyes water quite badly! My eyes are fine with it, but not his, oh no!

You can purchase Clarins Cleansing Milk from all good department stores, Boots and some supermarkets. I get mine from Boots because then at least I get the advantage card points! It is also a bonus because no matter where you buy it from, lots of the time Clarins have special gifts available if you buy two or more products! This is perfect if you buy the matching toner with the cleansing milk!
The Cleansing Milk costs between £15 and £14 pounds, but that is for a bottle with 200ml in it. And it does last quite a long time!

I very rarely buy this for myself due to the price, and therefore spend half of the year using this, and then converting to high street names until I recieve my yearly bottle from my parents! However as I am getting older (yay!) I understand how important it is to look after your skin, and have now a bottle for myself! I have the feeling this will now be the habbit of a lifetime!

p.s Great for Christmas pressies! Always makes both me and my mum smile on Christmas day! Also if you do chose to buy some as a gift, you can get it specially gift wrapped at the Clarins counter! Perfect!
