Many who are familiar with the face and body care products of the French Clarins House are well aware that they are based on the latest scientific advances. The same applies to each of the branded wellness treatments, both for the face and body. With over 50 years of unrivaled experience, Clarins has combined the power of plants and scientific advances in highly effective formulations of its cosmetics. Before being presented to consumers, all procedures, as well as cosmetics used during their implementation, are thoroughly tested in Clarins laboratories to make sure that they are highly effective and really beneficial for the body. But the Clarins spa experience is not just good cosmetics, it is also an exclusive application technique for achieving the moment of complete harmony of body and spirit. How does all this really work? Having asked this question for ourselves, we decided to find the answer to it and went to the Clarins branded boutique, where the very treasured spa room is located, where we were offered to undergo two procedures - one for the face and the other for the body.
Let's start with the face. A professional physiotherapist (there are three of them in Clarins spa, and they work, replacing each other, from 10 am to 8 pm) carefully examines your face and skin condition, asks questions about your concerns, if any, and then concludes what kind of procedure you need to carry out to rejuvenate, tone the face, eliminate age spots or fine wrinkles, lifting and so on, suitable specifically for your skin type.
Then the priesthood begins. You sit on a comfortable couch and hear the quiet sounds of light music. This is followed by washing with a special milk or foam, which allows you to remove the remnants of daytime makeup from the face and prepare the skin for further procedures.
The physiotherapist puts his hands to your face and asks for three deep breaths. You inhale the delicate aromas of aromatic oils, and from that moment the main part of the procedure begins. First, a scrub is applied to the face, gently exfoliating the upper layer of dead cells of the epidermis, then the skin is steamed with a warm stream of moist air, and the therapist removes, if necessary, visible contamination of pores, acne and blackheads.
After that, a special mask is applied to the face, which, depending on the type and needs of the skin, can be tightening, whitening, soothing, refreshing, tonic and any other. The mask stays on the face for 10-15 minutes, during which the physiotherapist gives you a light massage of the hands and feet, which also uses aromatic oil to relieve muscle fatigue and tension. By the way, if you suffer from dark circles under the eyes, then a special mask can also be applied to the skin around the eyes, which removes puffiness and significantly reduces your problem. After the mask, a special serum is applied to the significantly refreshed face, which launches its own mechanisms of rejuvenation and renewal in the skin cells. To enhance the effect on top of the serum, a specialist applies a moisturizing or nourishing cream. It is worth noting that all products are applied to the face with special massage movements, which allows them to penetrate deeper into the skin and achieve a longer healing effect.
At the end of the procedure, the physiotherapist will massage your shoulders and neck area lightly and give you an acupressure of the head, which will finally make you wake up and leave the state of suspended animation that you fell into at the beginning of the procedure for one hour.
And while you are going home, they will prepare a card in which all the Clarins products necessary for daily care of your skin will be marked in order, firstly, to prolong the effect of the procedure, and secondly, so that you can always look beautiful, young and without a trace of fatigue!
We are taken for the body. What is most worrying about modern beauties? Of course, starting cellulite, slightly sagging sides or a flabby stomach, dull and lifeless skin, which we mercilessly substitute under the sun's rays and with my gels that dehydrate it. Using Clarins body treatments, for which company specialists have prepared a series of aromatic oils with a tonic, relaxing and firming effect, you can bring the body into a relative order in one session. From the extensive menu at Clarins Spa, you can choose any massage - from classic Swedish to the anti-cellulite and aromatherapy you need at the moment. Light music, twilight, hands of a professional masseuse, kneading every muscle of a tired body ... It starts to fall asleep right away, unless of course it is anti-cellulite massage, where more focused efforts are needed to combat the hated "orange peel", then you won’t relax, still sensitive. But a relaxing massage is the most after a long and busy day. The body becomes light and elastic, and the mind rests ....
And now, the best part about all this. Clarins signature spa is available whenever you want. Say, it might come to your mind to have a good massage or facial procedure just at the moment when you have made some successful purchases in your favorite store, it’s too early to return home, and it’s boring to drink coffee. Of course, it is advisable to sign up for procedures in advance, but how much joy the impromptus usually gives us. So why not go to the seller of the Clarins store and ask: “Is there anyone in the spa now, or can I go through a procedure or two?” In order to hear: “Welcome to the world of Clarins!”. Where you are waiting for professionalism, care and all the best of what nature has gifted us, combined with a pragmatic scientific approach to health issues, and as a result - true beauty.
