Clarins Hydrating Toning Lotion

You can look good and feel good at the same time with Clarins’ new Hydrating Toning Lotion, now housed in eco-friendly packaging and upgraded with Alpine herbs from Domaine Clarins, the brand’s private farm and open-air laboratory in the Alps. The French beauty brand has always believed that self-care should not only be a sensorial experience, but also one that respects nature and protects the biodiversity of the earth. And it has incorporated this ethos when it comes to its ingredients.

Conscious of responsible beauty and the fragility of nature, the Domaine Clarins farm is nestled at an altitude of 1,400 metres, away from pollution and adherent to the strict rules of organic farming. There, plants are produced with the environment in mind; cultivated in harmony with the seasons and hand-picked from organic agriculture without the use of fertilisers or pesticides. Land is also ploughed using horses, all the while respecting the wildlife and agriculture that are dependent on it for life.

It is from this natural setting that Clarins has created the Microbiote Complex, infused with a blend of plant-based ingredients that work together to restore skin balance. The complex is not only able to help skin retain the balance of cutaneous bacteria upon application and protect against hard water residue build-up, but it also reinforces the skin’s protective hydrolipidic film and acts as a barrier to keep moisture locked, leaving your complexion plump, supple and more balanced.

While the Microbiote Complex is the star in Clarins’ trio of toning lotions, each individual toner has its own cocktail of miracle ingredients. The Hydrating Toning Lotion is a gentle, plant-based, colourant-free and alcohol-free lotion infused with aloe vera and fig extracts to hydrate, soften, and refresh the skin.

The Clarins Hydrating Toning Lotion is priced at $49 for 200ml and $74 for 400ml and is available at all Clarins boutiques.
