I am optimistic we will get a summer this year. I know we’ve been having monsoon weather in the UK but like I said, the sun will be here. We’ve certainly been having our fair share of humidity which not only plays havoc with my hair, but teases my skin too. That said, it takes other factors like pollution and taking the tube to suck the moisture out of your skin no matter how much water you drink.
Clinique’s Moisture Surge* range has taken me by surprise. Suitable for all skin types, it’s a gentle and comfortable range of products which plump up the skin with hydration during the day and work through the night. The results are soft, supple and radiant looking skin.
The range includes a moisturiser, a sleep-in mask, a melting balm and a spray for topping up. You don’t need all of them though if I had to pick, I’d nominate the moisturiser and sleep-in mask.
The peachy moisturiser (£34) is utterly lightweight, and sinks in beautifully. You can almost feel your skin sucking up it up and sighing with relief.
The balm (£26), which can be left on overnight or just for 10 minutes, melts into the skin quickly and is non-greasy, feeding the skin and tackling dry spots. A triple blend of Apricot Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil and Macadamia Oil collectively nourish the skin to give suppleness.
The sleep-in mask (£30) has a similar consistency to the moisturiser, and penetrates the skin as you sleep, replenishing it with moisture so come morning time, you wake up with baby soft skin. I have found myself touching my face in disbelief actually.
All three products are thankfully non-sticky and non-greasy. I haven’t had the need to use the spray much (£22) but feel it would be handy on hydrating the skin during days when the weather is hot (if ever).
Proof of how effective the Moisture Surge range is how it’s kept my skin hydrated on the outside when I’m fasting for nearly 19 hours a day with no water intake at all. I mean, that is an extreme example but it shows it works. It’s also managed to hide my tiredness when I’m been surviving on broken sleep of 3-4 hours a time. I’m really impressed and very happy with Moisture Surge, Clinique – thank you for keeping my skin looking perky.
Moisture Surge is available online and at all Clinique counters (as well as the boutique in Covent Garden) plus the usual beauty outlets.
