I was fascinated to learn that the well know "Clinique 3 Step" is not actually just 3 steps at all. I always thought it referred to "Cleanse, Tone, Moisturise" and that's that. However, it refers to those 3 steps, followed by another few steps, depending on your skin's needs.
I've been suffering with dry skin (yay, Joburg winter!) but I also have pigmentation and wrinkles and spots. Lovely.
So I was told to do the 3 steps using the face wash, toner and the yellow dramatically different moisturiser.
THEN, to apply the appropriate serum (Even Better in my case) and THEN apply the day or night cream! She used moisture surge as the final cream and I can't believe the difference in how my skin felt. No tightness or stretched feeling at all.
I've actually stuck with the routine for the last 2 weeks or so and have seen a dramatic improvement in my skin - it's looking clearer and softer. No flakiness at all. And gone is the dry stretched feeling.
Not at all what I expected to gain from the evening, but a huge win for me.
I've put together a video of the evening - please excuse my lack of voice as I was suffering from a nasty flu. I hope you enjoy it.
