New year, renewed skincare routine

Many start the new year with resolutions, vision boards, gym memberships and new diets. But what about skincare? “One thing is certain, while beauty trends come and go, healthy, beautiful skin remains in fashion. So, as you renew your commitment to other aspects of what makes you, you, make sure that the below skincare resolutions are an integral part of that!” explains Clere Brand Manager Su-Marie Annandale.

Moisturise both morning and night: Moisturise and keep your skin well fed. Apply a nourishing body lotion or crème, ideally to slightly damp skin. Clere’s range of crèmes and lotions comprises four unique formulations to suit all skin needs: pure glycerine crème, triple glycerine, tissue oil and pure glycerine and glycerine gel. All four formulations provide 48-hour moisturisation and contain Vitamins E & A, which are gentle, yet effective.

Mask at least once a week: Let’s bust the myth right now, you don’t have to reserve face masks just for special occasions. Mask after cleansing at least once, and up to three times, every week. Your face mask will help you:

• Hydrate and moisturise the skin
• Remove excess oils
• Improve the appearance of your pores
• Pull out impurities
• Reduce signs of ageing

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate: This cannot be emphasised enough. Why would you moisturise if none of the product penetrates your pores? Exfoliation can leave your skin looking brighter and improve the effectiveness of topical skincare products by enhancing absorption. Regular exfoliation can also help prevent clogged pores, resulting in fewer breakouts.

Remove make-up every single night: Yes, we love your face beat. But remember, proper make-up removal and cleansing is everything. The skin repairs and renews itself while you sleep and leaving make-up on prevents this renewal. Not cleansing at night means your skin will become less elastic more rapidly, premature wrinkles will appear sooner than you want, and regular wrinkles will deepen. A quick and easy way to clean off make-up residue, dirt and oil is to use make-up remover wipes.

Now go ahead and make 2022 a year your skin is grateful for.

The Clere range of crèmes and lotions is available at all leading retailers at a cost of approximately R34.99 (500ml) and R21.99 (400ml).
