CLINIQUE PROMOTION
Is your skin looking drier and less supple? Maybe it’s getting a bit of a battering with the stress that comes with organising a wedding– and that’s the last thing you want in the photos of your big day. Skincare experts at Clinique are well aware of how stress can have a negative impact on your skin's appearance, which is why Clinique’s New Superdefense SPF 25 Age Defense Moisturizer could be the answer.
Allergy tested and fragrance free, this moisturiser contains a unique formula to help limit the damage done by free radicals, help maintain skin's natural function and leave your skin looking – and feeling – healthy and beautiful. Need to know more? We asked the experts at Clinique about the science behind the success.
How does stress actually damage my skin's appearance?
When you’re feeling anxious your body releases stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which can harm the skin’s immune function. This means its strong moisture barrier can’t work as efficiently to keep moisture in and harmful pollutants and irritants out. The result is what would happen naturally as you get older – in a nutshell, your skin ages prematurely!
How can Clinique’s New Superdefense SPF 25 Age Defense Moisturizer help? This is Clinique’s most advanced daily visible age prevention moisturiser with a sun screen and antioxidants to help protect skin against ageing sun and pollution. However, it also has ingredients to help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier function against the visible effects of stress. And for night time, there's Super Rescue Antioxidant Night Moisturizer, which delivers a unique complex of eight rapid and delayed-release antioxidants to defuse free-radical activity.
What does it actually do? By boosting your skin’s natural defences, it helps prevent your skin losing precious moisture through evaporation. It also helps protect against its daily external enemies - pollution and UV damage.
What makes this product so special?
There are many reasons skin becomes visibly damaged – age, environment and emotional and psychological stress - and there’s no magic ingredient. The ‘magic’ is in the combination of ingredients such as Red Microalgae Extract from the Mediterranean which helps fight the visible effects of stress; Padina Pavonica Extract, an extract from a marine plant that helps skin absorb calcium; Cat’s Claw, an antioxidant and anti-irritant plant extract found in the Amazon; and Ferulic Acid and Rosemary Extract to help protect against free radical damage. How do I know if it’s right for me? Clinique’s New Superdefense SPF 25 Age Defense Moisturizer is designed to fight the visible signs of ageing, so whether you’re interested in prevention or visible repair, your Clinique consultant can recommend the best regime for your skin needs. It comes in three skin-type formulas – Very Dry to Dry, a luxurious cream that sinks in instantly; The Dry Combination formula,a soft cream that leaves skin moist, hydrated and protected; and The Combination Oily to Oily formula, an ultra-lightweight cream that offers refreshing hydration and a light, comfortable feel.
