The weather is a-changing in the Bay Area and it went from 70 degrees Indian Summer to a 60 degree windy fall weather within the last week. My skin is of course adjusting to the weather and is getting drier (boo!). To the rescue is Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil and the Clarins Santal Face Treatment Oil
(both $50 at clarinsusa.com). I like using the Santal in my morning routine because it works on rosacea and redness which I am prone to in cold weather. With anti-aging properties, Blue Orchid is great for my evening routine because I love the soothing aromatherapy while I drift off to sleep. It's easy to apply any of the face treatment oils: just add a couple of drops to your regular moisturizer and apply as usual to your face.
After two weeks of using the oils, I no longer see the dry flakes of skin on my forehead which means that my makeup sets into my skin so much better. Who knew a little oil on your face could so so much good?!
In contrast, if your skin is more on the oily side, there still is a face treatment for you. Try Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil to help tighten your pores and seal in moisture to prevent fine lines.
