Would I recommend Clinique 3 step system?
If you're going to consider buying the 3-step, definitely head to a Boots store where their is a Clinique counter as you may already know your skin type - however if you're going to invest a small expense into your skin care regime or make-up, you're going to want to make it the right choice. Usually the counter assistant will ask you what are your main concerns about your skin i.e. is it red very often, irritated easily, oily, dry and so on... They will tell you what type you are and what is best for you.
I ended up buying the type two combination set which I listed below and these beauties were worth every penny! I think that the three products which are only generous portions will last me 3 months simply because a small amount goes a long way!
Individual product reviews:
- Dramatically different moisturizing lotion: I must warn this can be wasted easily as a lot of product can come out at once as there is no pump so you only need a tiny squeeze. Yet these are the first products that do not irritate my skin or give it that burning sensation - they are giving me results already! Top tip: *even if your t-zone isn't dry and it's oily unlike your possible dry cheeks, deeply massage the cheeks and with the rest of the product that is left - gently massage into your t-zone.*
- Clarifying lotion: Just like the moisturizer this product is also very open after unscrewed. I would recommend you take a cotton wool pad and hold it tightly to the the lid and quickly turn upside down until you get the amount you require. Top tip: *I feel gliding this with slight pressure along the t-zone, and then round the face removes any residue left over. I also go over my face twice using no product but turning the wool pad over and going over the face one more time.*
- Liquid facial soap mild: this stuff is amazing, you have more control on how much product you want to dispense due to the small dispenser. The soap doesn't give my skin that burning sensation like other soaps in the past. I also haven't experienced any tightness in the skin. Top tip: *splash the face with water and then squeeze out a tiny amount. Massage the soap well into the hands and within seconds, the liquid turns into a foam and then gently massage this into your skin. Don't rub excessively as this will act as an exfoliater like any product. Luke warm water will be best used to open up those pores! Tend to focus on a deep and gentle massage on areas that have been specifically effected, and a not so deep massage on the other areas of the skin unaffected. It's important to cleanse the whole face as whilst you're trying to solve your troubled areas - you don't want to be avoiding the normal parts of the skin as you could end up with problems there next!
Overview: From using all three products in the morning & at night for two weeks now, I am already seeing results. I have waken up in the morning looking flustered before starting the system (I assume this is from the Estee Lauder Double Wear & no proper skin care regime). The skin care system works well with redness solution foundation and I wake up each morning with a slight difference to the redness and the blemishes are actually fading effectively.
I am so happy I invested in the system because I know I will be with Clinique a long while now. The system is amazing, great value and worth every penny! I would definitely recommend to anyone who has no idea in what products to buy as I know their is a lot on the market and it can be confusing. Yet I was so excited to share this review as I hope it can make a difference to someone else having the same problems.
Please feel free to share your thoughts, comments and problems as well - I am always more than delighted to engage conversation!

p.s: there has been no content taken from any website. Everything was written by myself. These articles take a good hour to write so therefore I would not waste my time false advertising products. If I have reviewed a product on request I will state that. However this will make no difference to my opinion. If the product is simply awful or just doesn't do it for me - I kindly decline the offer. If I have brought it myself, I will state my honest experience. I am not sponsored by anyone to advertise, but I am open to samples/testing and product reviews. You can contact me over here at: wynnemariasophie@gmail.com
