What is the best way to cleanse my face?

Your face is the part of the body that’s most exposed to environmental stressors

The skin on your face is out summer to winter, day and night. Damage caused by pollution, sun rays, dust, stress, etc. Impurities of all kinds land on the surface of the face clogging up pores and stopping the skin from breathing and looking radiant.  

Foundation, eye makeup or lipstick add an extra layer to the face. The Clarins makeup line combines skincare with color, hydration with pigments, being kind to the skin with making it beautiful.

Wearing makeup always requires extremely thorough cleansing. Clarins cleansers make it easy to eliminate every trace of makeup. It's a must for cleansing the skin to free up pores and give it back a clean, healthy glow! Let it renew itself through the night before another day of being overexposed!

Once or twice a week, your skin needs to get rid of dead skin cells

Exfoliating the skin requires using a facial scrub.

The Clarins line of exfoliating products provides a range of exfoliators for all skin types. A bead-free peeling cream, an extra gentle refreshing scrub, a purifying gel scrub for combination to oily skin, a nourishing oil scrub for dry skin.

A variety of textures to address every need. Exfoliate to effortlessly eliminate dead skin cells, unclog pores, smooth and purify the skin’s surface.

Once your skin is glowing, soft and comfortable, it is ready to soak in the goodness of the Hydra-Essentiel products for hydration perfection. Exfoliate and moisturize!

Regardless of your skin tone or age, the epidermis needs to be neat and clean

The first step in your beauty routine should always be to meticulously clean the skin, even if you're not wearing makeup, before moisturizing so it can then take in an anti-aging face product.

Even after a night of sleep, it needs to be cleansed of overnight contaminants and excess sebum so it can greet the day fresh and clean, and looking luminous. It is important to get rid of all the impurities so the skin is able to fully reap the benefits of the natural active ingredients in moisturizers, anti-wrinkle day and night creams, eye treatments for dark circles and puffiness, etc.

As an expert in face skincare, Clarins has developed a complete line of anti-aging products for all issues related to the skin's natural aging process. They contain ingredients that address problems like wrinkles, lack of firmness, sagging skin, a dull complexion and low radiance. To be as effective as possible, your skin must be thoroughly cleansed and free of makeup.  

Cotton pads, lotion, micellar water, cleansing oil, toning lotion, etc. Come discover all the Clarins cleansers!

The skin works day and night to secrete sebum and renew its cells

For a quick cleansing solution morning and evening, Cleansing Micellar Water cleans all types of skin in one step.

Tight skin is now history. Long live lotion! Skin is more beautiful, softer, and fresher. Pro tips!

We recommend cleansing without irritating

Use your fingers to apply the cleanser instead of cotton pads or makeup remover wipes. Clean your face in the most natural way possible. Soap, foaming products, scrubs, etc.

Your fingertips clean without causing any harm. This leaves the epidermis stronger and better protects the hydrolipidic layer. It’s less aggressive on the face and gentler on the planet! It's a win-win. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Nice and gentle, please!

Cleansing is more common among women, but men shouldn’t forget about clean skin

The line of ClarinsMen cleansing products facilitates daily cleansing for the face, body, and hair. They contain a patented combo of benefits from organic bison grass and gymnema extract that energizes and stimulates the skin in seconds.
