You may not even remember but I asked you which skincare line you would be interested to see reviewed here. My French poll attracted way more people and Clinique was the winner.I so had to desing a new face routine using mainly Clinique stuffes and see how my skin reacts to it for about a month. I tried my best without splurging extra money on new stuffes I do not really need. As you will see I kept my beloved sunscreen as my day moisturizer as I really like it :p.
Morning : - Mild liquid facial soap from Clinique
- Clarifying lotion 2 from Clinique
- Dramatically different moisturizing lotion from Clinique
- All about eye rich from Clinique
- Cleanance SPF 30 from Avène mixed with the mositurizing base SPF 15 from Stila
Evening :
- Créaline H2O from Bioderma for the eyes and cheeks
- Sebactiv cleansing water from Roger Gallet for my oilier T-zone
- Dove Soft peeling cream beauty bar if heavy face makeup to remove last bits of make up
- Mild solid facial soap from Clinique
- Clarifying lotion 2 from Clinique
- Dramatically different moisturizing lotion from Clinique
- All about eye rich from Clinique
- Moisture Surge de Clinique
Masks :
- Purifying (every other day) : Atlas Moutain Clay Mask from Zakia's Morocco (= ghassoul) (online review already made) or Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask from MAC
- Moisturizing/nourishing (x1/week) : Argan oil from Zakia's Morocca or Nivea cream (yep the blue tin one) under a coton sheet mask from MUJI moisten with eye safe toner or floral water
Extra treatments:
- for spots: Lanvender vinegar from l'Occitane
- for shine control: T-zone shine control de Clinique (Pore Minimizer range)
- microdermabrasion (x1/semaine, on sundays) : Powerbrasion kit from Skin Doctors
- scrub (x1-2/week at night time) : Akno Natura from les Laboratoires Mascareignes
I will keep you updated with how the things go but for now it is fine. I try to use the less active other stuffes I know not to twist the results. You can not imagine how painful it was to leave my beloved Shu Uemura cleansing oil below my bathroon sink :))
If you want some extra information on the stuffes I used (except the Clinique ones I will thoroughly review at the end of the month) leave a comment!
See ya :)

wow now that's some work!
May I suggest something? I use fake-tan in the Summer and it makes my skin much drier: no shine control needed (great in summer) and not many zits. Maybe you should try that?
@Lullaby77: My main problem with fake tanner is that my face is already darker than the rest of my body so if I applied some fake tanner on a daily basis or every other day or even once a week I have to do it on my whole body and I am way too lazy to do the full routine: scrub, fake tan and wait to put on my clothes. But i recently bought the new Clarins one which smells delicious so I may give it a go (once a week maybe...)
