Clarins makes some of the best skincare made for getting rid of water retention on the face.

The newly-reformulated clay-based V-Facial Intensive Wrap has a lightweight mousse-like texture. It contains zerumbet ginger, beautyberry and escin from horse chestnut to help reduce puffiness. Lady’s mantle extract is also added to help brighten skin, while the white clay mattifies and gets rid of impurities.

I slathered this mask on after a gym session and it made my skin feel clean, firmer, fresher, and brighter. This clay mask did not leave my skin feeling tight and dry either. This do-it-all mask is a good option to bring along on trips. 

Clarins’ new Enhancing Eye Lift Serum is a lightweight gel formula made to lift (with organic oat polyoses, kaki extract, zerumbet ginger, and guarana extracts) and brighten (lady’s mantle extract, horse chestnut escin) the areas around the eyes. The best part? It makes eyelashes darker and thicker (panthenol) too. It is easily absorbed, and feels refreshing on the skin.

This new Beauty Perfector with SPF 30/ PA+++, anti-pollution hydration and brightening properties, is one of the best BB creams I’ve tried. It blends seamlesly into the skin, so it perfects my complexion without being obvious. It also leaves skin with a satin matte finish.

The BB is made with acerola seed, meadowsweet, aloe vera extract, and hyaluronic acid. The sunscreen is also 100 per cent mineral, so it is suitable for those with sensitive skin.
