Stress, tiredness, pollution, poor diet, alcohol – all these things can have a really obvious effect on your skin making it dull and blemished. So those clever people at Clinique have included no less than five products in their Turnaround Revitalizing range that are made to work with your skin’s own cycle of renewal to help bring back a healthy glow and soft skin.
I tried out all five over the course of a few weeks and found them lovely to use, being light on the skin (nothing too heavy to clog pores), easily absorbed and, I must admit, not only did my skin feel smoother than it has in a long time, but people have commented on how good my skin was looking. You certainly don’t need to invest in all five but they do seem to work very well together for a really impressive effect on skin.
First up was the Turnaround Daytime Revitalizing Moisturizer (£34.00) which is incredibly light-weight as it is oil-free so easily absorbed. My skin felt really hydrated all day and nicely glowing without being shiny. Available in two hues: Rosy Glow and Golden Glow.
There is also a Turnaround Revitalizing Serum (£37.00) which enhances your natural exfoliation process to renew your skin cells – really the only way to keep skin looking fresh. I used this in conjunction with the Overnight Moisturiser and had great results in the morning.
The Turnaround Overnight Revitalizing Moisturizer (£36.00) really works hard when you are asleep and all your skin is busy renewing itself. It moisturises and is a little luxury that leaves you skin really soft and beautiful even in the morning!
In addition to these key products in the range there is also the Revitalizing Treatment Oil (£35.00) which is a light weight, nourishing oil that helps, especially with dry skin (which I am particularly prone to). Really complemented the other products and I used it a couple of times a week as an extra boost.
Last but not least is the Revitalizing Instant Facial (£35.00) which is a quick at-home facial with gentle exfoliator. It’s a five minute pampering mask, great excuse to lie on the bed and think beautiful thoughts, and all you need to do is apply to a cleansed face and leave for five minutes then rinse off with warm water while gently massaging the micro-granules over the skin. I used this a couple of times a week which really seemed to do the job.
The Turnaround Revitalizing range is available now from Clinique.
