Clarifying lotions from Clinique

I wasn't a big expert in Clinique as I had only tried few of their products before, but now as most of my skincare is Clinique, I became more aware of how Clinique is great.

The most amazing thing I truly like are their clarifying lotions. There are quite few people not being sure if they are not too harsh for their skin, but if you get a right product for your skintype I believe you can't go wrong.

Clarifying lotion is a gentle exfoliator for the skin, so used morning and night, you are removing gently dead skin cells. Dead skin cells can lead to dull complexion, your moisturizer not being absorbed, if you have oily skin to clogged pores.

Clarifying lotion is giving so many skin benefits. I started to use anti-blemish clarifying lotion as it has anti-bacterial ingredients and the powder on the bottom controls oil. So if you have dry skin, you don't shake it, but if you have too much oil, you do shake;)

One other big plus with blemish prone is that if you have active breakouts you shouldn't use mechanical exfoliant (clarifying lotions are chemical exfoliants) as you are spreading the bacteria. So this way, you exfoliate but without spreading your breakouts.


One thing you you have to keep in mind that as it is an exfoliator you need to work gently and don't rub on the skin.

I am using it every morning and night for 2 months and my skin is much smoother, brighter and certain areas of breakouts are much visibly clearing out.



Have you ever tried Clinique clarifying lotions?

Review: Liquid gold smoothing and perfecting mask

It was again that time of the month for me, so I was breaking out as crazy. Nothing was helping me, teas, special skincare regime....nothing....

Then I went for my Liquid gold smoothing and perfecting mask. I use it normally once in 2 weeks or so, when I feel like a need a little bit of help with exfoliating the skin.

If you don't know Liquid gold smoothing and perfecting mask, it is exfoliating mask, which chemically exfoliates just in less than 10 minutes.


I really love it in normal days, but specially this time it helped me so much. As you know when it comes to blemishes, the pores are producing oil, the dead skin cells are on the surface and as no oxygen goes to the pores, pores get blocked.

This mask helped me so much to help heal the imperfections and also my active breakouts were much less active ;)



It is great solution as if you have active breakouts you shouldn't go for mechanical exfoliants as they could spread the bacteria that is on the breakouts.

Sooo....this is absolutely great if you need exfoliation if you have dull skin, skin with a lot of imperfections or if you just want beautiful skin- it exfoliates, clarify, freshen and brighten. For all skin types.

Price: £46.
