Clarins Introduces: Truly Matte Skincare Collection Beautiful shine-free skin, even close up! Ultra-Matte Rebalancing Lotion Keeps Your Skin in Balance When Your Crazy Fashion Week Schedule is Out of Control!

We can always count on Clarins to keep our skin in check, and the Ultra-Matte Rebalancing Lotion does just that.  Right now in Manhattan, we are in the midst of Fashion Week and our lives are crazy!  Dashing from here to there, Peachy Deegan feels like a bit of a gerbil in a wheel at times but thank goodness her skin does not reflect that because of the fabulous performance from this product.  Oily skin continues to be a widespread concern among women and it often does not subside with age. We're not going to complain about that either, as it keeps us looking far younger than we are, and that's never a bad thing once you become an adult. That’s why Clarins created Truly Matte Skincare, an unprecedented skincare discovery for combination and oily skin types. Truly Matte Skincare effectively addresses the shortcomings of existing matte products that can feel uncomfortable, increase aging of the complexion and streak throughout the day, to give a beautifully matte, shine-free finish that lasts.  We love the additional pollution protection too!  Peachy simply applies a sheer coat of this under her makeup and her skin is balanced and in check for the day.

Formulation (See products below for exact ingredients)

 

• Chrysine helps slow down the multiplication of sebocytes so pores are less likely to dilate and skin remains matte longer.

 

• GlistinÒ, an active sequence of amino acids, combined with an acid from Hibiscus Flower, enhances cellular renewal and the production of the collagen fibers that are essential to maintaining skin firmness, this helps keep pores from changing due to the loss of elasticity,

 

• White Nettle helps tighten pores

 

• Alpine Willow Herb helps slow down the development of the enzyme that produces sebum

 

• Lantana purifies skin to keep bacteria from spreading and removes excess dead skin cells

 

• Linden helps reduce redness and irritation

 

• Tanaka Powder and Pink Clay gently absorb excess oil and impurities and eliminate dead skin cells.

 

• Green Algae helps prevent dehydration and the effects of the environment
