“Get Glowing,
a made to measure self-tan facial for fatigued faces”. Well, I certainly had
one of those. So, how could
I resist the opportunity to look refreshed in minutes?
Clarins, the renowned French cosmetic house, offers a range
of 30-minute beauty treatments for £25 each at selected department stores (more
information at beautybar by Clarins) to cater
for time-poor women who want a quick beauty fix). Whether you need to brighten
up your skin or ease tension
from your neck and shoulders, you will find a treatment that will perk you up
for the day.
My therapist Talia spent a good 10 minutes analysing my skin
to see what products would best
suit me. She cleansed my face
with One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser with Orange Extract to
help transform my dull skin back
to its former glory. I also had a lovely facial massage using Blue Orchid Face
Treatment Oil. The cult Beauty Flash Balm, which helps to perk up tired skin,
was left on my face for a good 10 minutes while I relaxed.
More lotions and potions were applied including a few drops
of what I call a miracle worker, Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster to give me a
sun-kissed complexion.
After half an hour, when I looked into the mirror there was
definitely another woman staring back at me. Before Talia sent me on my way she
applied a quick sweep of blush and mascara and kissed my lips in Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector
Toffee Pink Shimmer so that I was ready to face the world.
Not normally a fan of facials, I could become a convert as I
was impressed to see how quickly I was transformed from drab to fab.
