i think i’ve finally realized i’m not 20 any more…and so, have been on a quest lately for a good, line-minimizing night cream.  the problem is that most creams are designed for skin with much bigger problems than i have.  they tend to be thick, overly oily, and have kind of a weird smell (this is after testing at least 10 versions from different brands).

so, when i tried clarins line prevention multi-active night cream, i was cautiously optimistic.  their line is always a favorite of mine, but after so much disappointment, i wasn’t about to get my hopes up.  

fortunately, they seem to be the only company that has realized women under 70 need night-time moisture as well.  their version is actually tailored for younger women (30s, specifically, but who’s counting…).  it’s silky soft, contains just the right amount of moisture to give me a nice, dewy glow that makes me feel better about my makeup-free-face, and has almost no scent at all.  jackpot!

as an added bonus - my skin is completely in love.  when i try to go a night without doing the evening skin routine (i know, i know…very bad), it rebels like it never has before.  and while my wrinkles haven’t vanished, the ones on my forehead have improved…and the rest don’t seem to be getting any worse.  which is really about all i can ask of a moisturizer, i think.

find it wherever clarins is sold, or on their website, for $72.  yes, it’s a lot.  but i’ve been using it daily for a month now, and honestly, i’ve barely made a dent in the jar.  i’m estimating it’s a six-month supply…so just call it $12/month for happy skin.
