Before you turn 40, turn to science

Life may begin at 40 but your anti-aging and skincare routine should start way before you hit the magic number.

The new firming power duo from Clarins

Continuously updated using the latest insights and innovations for over 40 years, Clarins’ Extra-Firming line perfectly demonstrates the French beauty brand’s expertise in the science of bouncy skin. These new products keep the skin young by promoting collagen and elastin – the duo of proteins that keep the skin plump and “bouncy.”

With this in mind, Andrew Wallis, Clarins’ regional training manager for Asia Pacific flew to Manila to give the ladies (and even some gents) a tip or two when it comes to keeping their youthful visage.

According to him, Clarins’ Extra-Firming Emulsion and Treatment Essence are the brand’s new firming power duo. Lighter and more liquid than similar products in the market, both are formulated for specific skin types or climates to bring back that elusive spring power to one’s skin. He also added that using these products, even in one’s twenties and thirties, could help slow down the development of wrinkles, reduce dullness and puffiness, and ultimately combat visible signs of skin aging.

The new Extra-Firming Emulsion’s lightweight texture also has the same silky finish and offers the same bounce-back effect as Clarins’ much-loved spring cream. It also has that signature camellia and rose scents that Clarins users have grown to love over the years. Furthermore, these items are suitable for combination to oily skin and can be used in both summer and winter – so make sure to pack it into your carry-on the next time you travel abroad!
