Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer
I first purchased the Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer after I tired the product with a beautician in a Boots store at the beginning of the year. I can genuinely say before I had ever tried the Clarins Tinted Moisturizer I was quite sceptical when it came to trying and buying any tinted moisturizer products, this was due to bad experiences that I have had in the past. However, as soon as the Clarins Tinted Moisturizer was applied to my face I was immediately impressed by the quality of the product. The beautifying mineral pigments that it boasts, helped to even out my skin tone and left my skin looking fresh and radiant.
Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer really does leave you looking like you have a natural healthy glow. I am so impressed with this moisturizer that after over fifteen years of wearing foundation daily, I have now stopped and have instead started wearing the Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer because I love how natural looking it is. This product has made a huge impact to my life, and it has changed how I feel about buying and wearing tinted moisturizers.
Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer has a SPF of 15, this makes wearing the moisturizer in the summer months easier and more suitable. I personally wouldn’t be happy with a SPF lower than 15 as I think this is the least that we should be applying in order to protect our face, especially when you are out in the hot sun. Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer have got the sun protection just right as it provides a threefold protection against UV rays. In addition to this it has 100% mineral protection together with pollution and free radicals. If you would like to apply a stronger a SPF to your face before you apply the Clarins Tinted Moisturizer it shouldn’t change the look, coverage or texture of the moisturizer on your face. This is a huge bonus, especially as this can be so difficult to achieve with foundations.
I think Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer is a great product for the summer time, especially if you are trying to build up a tan. The moisturizer isn’t cakey like most foundations; it also doesn’t leave any marks on your clothing which is also a plus factor. The moisturizer feels so light on your face; it literally feels like you are not wearing anything at all.
Some tinted moisturizers can leave your face feeling greasy and oily, and after a few hours of wear they can begin to feel like they are sliding off of your face. Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer doesn’t leave your face feeling like this. From the very start of applying the moisturizer, it leaves your face feeling comfortable, soft, light and velvety, even after hours’ worth of wear.
Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer contains a natural ingredient called, Katafray. Katafray is a native tree found across Madagascar. Its essential oils are renowned for its fortifying and soothing actions. It is anti-inflammatory and possesses analgesic actions as well as being a relaxant tonic. Katafray has traditionally been used to ease redness and itching of the skin, including eczema. It is also habitually used in face mask products, as it is believed to help with fine lines and wrinkles.
If you are wanting to go for a more natural look, then I would strongly recommend that you try Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer. The moisturizer has a hint of colour that provides you with a very light and natural looking coverage. There are seven different shades of Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer to choose from. A beautician picked the correct shade for me as I was trailing the product in store. If you would also prefer this option you can pop along into any department store such as Boots or Debenhams and ask the Clarins concession stand for a free trial, they will be more than happy to help you out.
Moreover, the Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer also lasts for a good amount of time. I have started wear this moisturizer almost every day, from the moment that I first purchased the product, and I still have a fair amount left in the bottle. This means that so far the moisturizer has already lasted me for nine whole weeks and the bottle is far from empty. This is probably due to the fact that you don’t need to apply a large amount of the moisturizer to your face, nor do you need to add multiple layers. Just one small layer will give you a full face of coverage and it lasts for hours. The tinted moisturizer doesn’t last as long as some foundations do, and I personally find that after eight hours of wear I need to top the moisturizer up and add a fresh layer to my face in order to brighten it up. Really, there probably isn’t no need for me to do this, it is just a bit of a habit. I also choose to wear a thin layer of powder over the top of the moisturizer. Once more, there probably is no need for me to do this, however it makes me feel more comfortable and less naked, after all I am used to wearing foundation every day for the past decade. I do think that a light powder over the top of the moisturizer just gives you’re face that perfect finish.
One of the negatives points that I have noticed with the Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer is that it isn’t strong enough to cover or hide the bags underneath my eyes. Therefore, if you have just had a baby or have a toddler that still wakes you up in the middle of the night, you may need to get some extra help and purchase some additional products to help conceal the bags. I have been using a light concealer underneath my eyes before apply the Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer to my face, which seems to do the trick in brightening my eyes up. Also, if you have a lot of blemishes or scaring on your face, this coverage probably wouldn’t be strong enough to mask them. I would say that this is the only major downfall of the Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer. Albeit, it is still only a moisturizer and not a foundation.
In conclusion, I am extremely impressed with the Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer, and it has most definitely won me over. It is a product that I will be purchasing again in the near future. So the main question is, is the Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer worth the money? Yes, I would have to say that it is, and I am very pleased that I purchased this product as it has done me proud and been worth every last penny.
Unfortunately, the Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer isn’t perfect, the coverage doesn’t last for as long as I would hope for and I feel the hint of colour could be increased just a little bit. Despite all of this I am extremely pleased with the product and will continue to wear it daily. Overall I rate the Clarins Hydra Quench Tinted Moisturizer a brilliant 4/5 stars. Well done Clarins for converting me!
