Regular readers will know that I’m not the biggest fan of men-specific skincare. My view is that I’ve been using ‘women’s’ skincare for many years and, for the most part, these have worked well on my skin. My biggest issue with skincare aimed at men is the scent, with many often smelling like a pungent cologne. However, every now and then a male skincare product comes along that I … [Read more...]
Mention the C word to most women and their faces instantly take on a look of horror. I am of course talking about cellulite – that frustrating orange peel looking skin that can affect anybody no matter how slender or large, and usually deposits itself on the buttocks and thighs. Scientists are still unable to pinpoint the exact cause of it; although they have established many contributing … [Read more...]
First launched in 1985, Double Serum is one of skincare giant Clarins’ flagship products but it has undergone changes over the years, from improved formulation to more convenient packaging. This is the seventh generation of this serum and it was launched with great fanfare by Clarins in the convention Centre in Dublin just before Christmas. As the title suggests, it contains two treatments; a … [Read more...]

Dublin’s Convention Centre was awash with bright red lights and glamour as a host of well-known faces gathered to celebrate the launch of Clarins’ latest innovative skincare product, Double Serum.

I’m usually giddy with excitement when asked to try new products but I must admit to being a bit apprehensive about testing this. Although I always set my make-up with a light dusting of loose powder I don’t like that “caked “ look and I had horrible visions of looking like an extra from a zombie movie after using this. This meant that I was more than pleasantly surprised when I discovered … [Read more...]
I’m about to use a word I have never used to describe any cosmetic product before – idiotproof! While there are many marvellous products that make our cosmetic application more efficient and professional-looking, most require a bit of work on the part of the user. Not so this ingenious eyeliner which allows you to create a fabulously lined eye with little or no effort. In this product … [Read more...]
Back in July, I paid a three-day visit to New York City as part of a trip to the US. Knowing that the humidity was going to be at its highest at that time of the year, I made sure I armed myself with the best thirst-quenching products for dehydrated skin. Clarins’ HydraQuench range is one of my favourites for dehydrated skin as the gel and gel-cream formulas are perfect for my combination … [Read more...]
Far be it from me to be the one to remind you that autumn is on the way and along with it, cooler weather that can wreak havoc on your skin. Arm yourself with the right beauty tools now to make sure you have a full arsenal of skincare weapons to battle the impending elements. Not that I’m being dramatic or anything! One of the most important skincare tools is body moisturiser, which should be … [Read more...]
Strictly speaking, today’s product is aimed at skin that's younger than mine but regardless, it’s one of my favourites for early morning pre-moisturiser energising. The Clarins Daily Energizer range is marketed at those aged 18 to late twenties but there’s no reason why the products can’t be used on older skin, especially if you are prone to oily breakouts. My favourite from the … [Read more...]
