SWEETIESAL

A lovely email popped into my inbox a couple of weeks back from the ladies over at Clarins in Selfridges Exchange Square, inviting me in to try out some Clarins products and also to learn a bit more about the brand.

Clarins is obviously a brand I had heard of but not really used much myself, so off I toddled to the stand which is housed in Selfridges Beauty Hall! I did not realise that there is also a Clarins Skin Spa down there offering a range of treatments so I will definitely be back to try that!

I sat down with Jennifer and we ran through my skin woes. For me, it's that I have oily skin but random dryness at times on the cheeks and around the nose area. I am also prone to hormonal breakouts around my jawline. Annoying to say the least.

Jennifer set to work, removing my makeup and gave me a mini facial, talking through what she would recommend for me. I need to be honest now, and admit that I had had one to many gins the night before, AND had gone to circuits class that morning so I literally felt not a care in the world being sat in Selfridges Beauty Hall without a scrap of makeup on on a Saturday. So if you saw me sans make up then I am very sorry, I am sure that was probably not a very pretty sight!!!

The facial was so relaxing and I felt thoroughly spoiled being pampered in such a way. The products were gorgeous and I was also waved off with a very generous gift of some bits and bobs to try! If you need a refresh on your skincare or fancy a treat at the Clarins Skin Spa then definitely pop down to Selfridges as not only are the surroundings and products amazing, Jennifer was really lovely too :)
