Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil

I picked this 30ml sized product up at the Clarins counter at Selfridges for £29. The lady at the counter told me to use 5 - 6 drops each night instead of my normal moisturiser. I was hoping that using an oil on my face would give me a glow and put some much needed hydration into my skin. My skin type is blemish prone oily/combination, which is exactly what this oil is targeted towards.

 

The product is said to 'purify, balance and improve combination or oily skin', quite a vague description i'd say. The oil smells lovely and refreshing with essential oil qualities of rosemary and geranium. Once rubbed into the skin it gives a really fresh moisturising effect, doesn't feel too greasy. 

 

I have used this oil for a couple of months now and it's still going strong, I haven't even used a quarter of it yet. I found that using the oil every single night was too much for my skin and was causing congestion, just making my skin more spotty, so now I only use  the oil about twice a week when it is feeling quite dry. If your skin is oily/combination but not too blemish prone I would recommend thus product as I feel it does balance the oils on the skin. Have you tried this product? Do you have any other Clarins products you would recommend? I am dying to try the Beauty Flash Balm and any of their toners.

Sunday

Well hello there. I am Robyn and have decided to start a new blog. I will use it to discuss random things I like, food, makeup, travel and general day to day nonsense. I will keep this first post short and sweet, follow me on instagram @Robyn6789

 

Here are some little things I have enjoyed this week;

Wearing my new cosy knit jumper from h&m with bright pink lipstick, Lidl magnum style goodness (much better than the real ones), essie bargains from fragrancedirect at only £1.99 each.

I have had a successful week finding some other online bargains, which I will reveal in future posts.
