Clarins How To

##Your Hand in Marriage
The Products: Hand and Nail Treatment Cream and ClarinsMen Active Hand Care What do they do?
Hand and Nail Treatment Cream is enriched with sesame oil and Japanese mulberry extract, while ClarinsMen Active Hand Care contains Vitamin B5, allantoin and purslane. Both formulas form a protective layer against any environmental aggressors and minimise signs of ageing. Dry, chapped and fragile skin will thank you.
When do I use them?
Ideal during seasonal change when we experience skin irritations, these lotions keep our skin soft and supple. You never know when your hands may fall into the spotlight, especially if a certain ring appears.

##Short on sleep emergency care
Multi-Active Night Cream
¿What does it do? Bursting with plant extracts (teasel, organic Californian poppy, organic shea), this cream with a pampering texture plunges the skin into an ideally restorative sleep. Early wrinkles don't have time to appear and radiance is revived, despite too-late nights or poor-quality sleep. It makes the skin tireless!
When? From the age of 30, when long days between work and late dinners with friends begin to leave their mark on the skin, this cream acts like an antidote for tiredness. After thorough make-up removal (yes, even at two o'clock in the morning!), apply it with gentle pressure, working from the middle of the face outwards, not forgetting the neck. On waking, skin is smoother and toned.

##Beautiful lips in winter
Hydra-Essentiel Lip Balm
What does it do?
Enriched with soothing blue lotus wax, this balm's melting texture protects, hydrates and nourishes the lips. From slight to extremely intense dryness with chapping, nothing can resist it. Lips recover their softness. Smoother and shapelier, they are also coated in a pretty pink tint.
When?
As soon as the thermometer drops! With little natural protection, lips tend to quickly dry out and crack, especially if you keep wetting them with your saliva. This balm has a repairing as well as a cosmetic cocooning action, insulating this delicate area from the wintry weather. Apply and reapply to your heart's content. And why not apply a thick layer like a mask in the evening before going to bed?

##Skin saver
Energy Booster
What does it do?
It tones and re-energises the skin, particularly thanks to its formula ultra-concentrated in ginseng extract, which is known for its stimulating properties. It erases signs of tiredness and revives the face's radiance. A made-to-measure beauty activator to boost your mistreated skin.
When?
This booster, which is mixed with three to five drops of your usual skin care in the palm of your hand and applied using draining pressure, meets an occasional need. Late nights, jet lag, etc. You haven't managed to relax properly on the plane and your skin really feels it. Quick, a shot of positive energy!

##Work-work-work-work
Supra Volume Mascara
What does it do? The principle: 1 mascara, 2 effects. Make-up and lash care, thanks to a plant wax cocktail with carnauba (which adds body to the lashes) and cassie flower (which smoothes them). Combined with a volume-boosting complex and an ultra-supple fibre brush that coats, sheathes and gives the lashes spectacular volume for long-lasting hold.
When? Every day! To create an intense, deep look in the blink of an eye – or rather, a flutter of lashes – in your working girl schedule. What? You've other things to be getting on with? Choose one of the two shades, "intense black" or "intense brown", slip it into your make-up bag and curl and shape your lashes as needed...
