Clarins Advice

The Facts

My body? I only look after it just before summer.

And at top speed? It's easier to look after your body every day of the year just like you do for your face! You'll see that five minutes of daily bliss (Clarins textures are fabulous!) are all it takes for great body contours all year round. It's a question of routine – weekly exfoliating, daily moisturizing and an intensive body slimming and skin firming treatment once or twice a year or more often if necessary.

After a certain age, it's too late for a beautiful body…

Not for Clarins. Naturally, as you mature you have different needs. However, by paying closer attention to your body and using daily skin care you can keep that youthful-look for longer. Try regular exfoliating and a personalized skin care routine and you'll see and feel the results more quickly than you expected.
Ideally, you should get into the daily body care habit when you're young.

Winter curves? A crash diet is all it takes…

And as soon as you go back to eating normally, you'll put weight and volume back on just as quick. Balance is the key word to beauty. A balanced diet avoids nutritional deficiencies and helps you to stay slim without even thinking about it. Losing weight just requires reducing the size of your portions. Too many curves? Why not make an appointment with a nutritionist?

I have to lose weight to lose cellulite.

Not necessarily. Even slim people have cellulite! If you have no problem with your body shape, try the Anti-Eau Body Oil/High Definition Body Lift routine without going on a diet. Just be careful about keeping your diet balanced.

It's the product that counts, not the application method!

Not true, the application method changes everything. Product effectiveness is essential but to enhance the benefits of all the ingredients chosen by Clarins, the application method is ideal for better absorption and stimulated cellular activity. All Clarins application methods do just that and are the result of our widely acknowledged Institute expertise.

Cellulite control skin care targets thighs and buttocks!

That's because cellulite is most often found in both these areas. The effectiveness of High Definition Body Lift will naturally be visible if you only apply it to these priority areas but don't forget that effective elimination is also a question of blood and lymphatic circulation. By using the Clarins method, your legs will benefit from all ingredients found in the product that boost circulation by stimulating return circulation.

If I use one product after another, they cancel out their effectiveness.

On the contrary, they strengthen each other. In Clarins Institutes, our Beauty Specialists always mix products to find the ideal combination for each client. If your beauty routine includes two complementary products, you can apply them one after the other. You can even mix them together into one single application, if the product textures are compatible.
