Beauty Box: Clarins' toning lotions restore skin balance

MANILA, Philippines - Three Clarins Toning Lotions are sold every minute across the world. Alcohol-free, rich in plant extracts, emollient, and instantly moisturizing, these toning lotions are adapted to every skin type with Bio-Ecolia that contributes to balanced skin flora.

Lionel de Benetti, CEO of Clarins Laboratories, explains, “Cleansing is an essential step for beautiful skin. However, by removing surface impurities, it also removes some of the skin’s beneficial flora. When developing these lotions, we wanted to restore the balance of the skin’s ecosystem. This is the action of Bio-Ecolia, an oligosaccharide obtained from natural sugars, which helps to preserve the integrity of beneficial skin flora and the protective role of the skin surface.”

Tests have demonstrated hydration of the skin surface of over 200 percent just two minutes after application of the lotion. The range includes: Toning Lotion with Iris for combination or oily skin, Toning Lotion with Camomile for normal or dry skin, Extra-Comfort Toning Lotion with Aloe Vera for dry or sensitized skin.

Clarins Toning Lotions are exclusively available at all Rustan’s Department Stores: Ayala Center Makati, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Alabang Town Center, Essenses Rockwell, Ayala Center Cebu, Gateway Mall, and Robinsons Place Manila.
