Happy, Clean, New Year!

Happy New Year! Hope the festivities were fun, but, if you have over-indulged, like I have, then you will probably be off out running, eating veg all January and looking for new skincare solutions to help your complexion.

Carrying on from my New Year Beauty Resolutions post earlier this week, I’ve been thinking a lot about cleansing and toning. A friend of mine said that was her beauty resolution  – to properly cleanse, tone and moisturise.

The key is a good cleanser, and a toner that is right for your skin type (followed by your favourite moisturiser). Elemis have introduced new Cleanser and Toner Duos for three different skin types, at a great price – so it’s a resolution and a January bargain!

So, you can choose from these three new duos, with 200ml bottles of cleanser and toner. Brighten & Resurface Cleansing Duo (£29), for Mature skin/all skin types, contains Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial Wash and Soothing Apricot Toner; Revitalise & Replenish Cleansing Duo (£21), for Normal/Dry skin types, contains Rehydrating Rosepetal Cleanser and Rehydrating Ginseng Toner and Balance & Purify Cleansing Duo £21), for Normal/Combination skin types, contains Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser and Balancing Lavender Toner.

I’ll be trying out the Revitalise & Replenish for my poor dry winter skin.

Elemis Director of Product & Treatment Development, Noelle Gabriel, advises that getting into a skincare routine is the best way of keeping your skin healthy and glowing. “The secret to good skin maintenance and squeaky clean skin is the daily use, morning and evening, of a prescribed cleanser and toner,” she says. “This is the key to skin radiance and aids the absorption of your prescribed anti-ageing neck, eye and face cream. Cleansing and toning is a vital link to a good skincare regime and should not be overlooked.”

The Duos are available now at all Elemis retailers and timetospa.co.uk
