• Glycolic Acid is the most productive and beneficial of AHA’s, proven to be effective in the treatment of acne and assisting to fight the signs of ageing by speeding up the skin regeneration process.
• Vitamins, such as A and C, are natural antioxidants and free radical scavengers. Vitamin C is essential for supporting collagen production keeping skin firm and resilient whereas Vitamin A can reduce the appearance of lines and smooth the texture of the skin by aiding in the process of cell renewal to maintain younger looking skin.
• Ceramides are a type of lipid (fat) found in the top layer of the epidermis, these lipids help to prevent loss of moisture that causes dehydrated skin. By locking in moisture, ceramides are beneficial to dry, ageing and sun-damaged skin types.
• Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid, is a key ingredient to reduce blemishes and purify skin. It assists in sloughing away dead skin cells and clearing congestion while boasting antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse
Posted in 'New Products' on September 2, 2010

It’s preview time again, and yes this latest product brought to you by
Clarins is going to ‘wow’ you when it debuts here at
The Facial Company early September. The launch coinciding with the commencement into the warmer months of spring, upon time to peel off those long pants, which have been disguising that luminous skin all winter, and spruce up your tan before swimsuit season really begins. There is nothing as gorgeous as healthy sun-kissed glowing skin without the damaging effects of the sun and this
Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse is about to change the way you think about sunless tanning alternatives forever.
The breakthrough
Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse generates a new era in self-tanning that will be sure to restore your confidence in self-tanning products. Promising to deliver an effective, tasteful formula that leaves skin a sun-kissed bronze in lieu of the unearthly orange ‘oompa loompa’ shade prominently related to so many of its predecessors. It also eludes that bad odour that often accompanies fake tans; instead,
Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse is fragranced using a delicious fruity concoction, combining peach, jasmine and lily with almond essential oil for a scent that smells almost yummy enough to eat.
The
Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse has a rich, creamy, whipped texture, which reminds me of a decadent dessert. The airy, lightweight mousse, that is white in colour, rather than the various bronzed hues commonly associated with tanning products, applies like a charm, gliding over the skin with ease, simply melting forthwith to reveal smooth, silky soft skin. The non-comedogenic self-tanner enriched with the combined moisturising properties of Mirabelle Oil and Aloe nourishes and softens the skin whilst protecting against dehydration. Consummately, the new technology makes ‘drying time’ a thing of the past, the
Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse absorbs instantly into the skin, without yielding any sticky residue, so you can dress and go within minutes, devoid the risk of tan-stained clothing; even your lightest coloured apparel is safe to go.
Subsequently, after your initial application, you can go about your normal daily routine and within 1-2 hours, the magic of the
Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse starts working its charm, with the colour gradually manifesting to expose a convincingly natural, even, streak-free golden glow. Developing into the kind of tan that looks like you have just been holidaying on a tropical island, the tan that everyone is envious of and the best part is you can expect the tan to hold the results, looking just as good after 3-5 days as it did on day one. Another added benefit of the
Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse is that is boasts an SPF 15 for added protection against harmful UV rays and is reinforced with Safflower extract (exclusive to Clarins) to intensify and prolong your tan.
Application techniques• Always exfoliate the day prior to application so to slough away any dead skin cells and encourage an even tan.
• Cleanse skin with a pH-balanced cleanser to protect the natural moisture levels of your skin.
• Prepare skin with a moisturiser, focusing on dryer areas such as ankles, knees and elbows to assist in uniform application.
• Apply with the spatula provided starting from the feet up then using light smoothing motions spread liberally all over your skin.
• Avoid eyebrows and hairline, but as a precaution use a damp tissue to wipe gently around these areas after application. Also thoroughly wash hands and nails to avoid staining. (Consider using protective gloves to cover hands for a consistent distribution)
• For a more intense colour reapply after 3 hours and for maintenance top-up your application every 3-4 days.
What more could you ask for? With an impressive tan and soft hydrated skin courtesy of a super rich body moisturiser and self-tanner in one. It’s ‘pure indulgence’ in a tub! The triumphant
Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse offers an incredibly natural, beautiful, sun-kissed look in only a few hours, teemed with pampering skin care enhancers and protective sun filters, it’s certain to be a sure winner! This irresistible delight is ideal for your face and body and suitable for all skin types, even those blessed with the fairest of skin. Keep your eye on the latest arrivals at
The Facial Company in September so you too can try the
Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse to get the ‘wow’ factor and be ‘all systems go’ in time to step out into spring.
