For people living in or checking out the San Francisco Bay Area, did you understand that Clarins, a French skin care line, uses complementary facials at Nordstrom stores?
Since the 50s, French brand Clarins was one of the very first lines to forgo utilizing animal components in their products. Their entire line is now 100 percent plant-derived.

I’m new to the line, so the complimentary 40-minute facial held at the Nordstrom health club in the San Francisco Centre was a excellent (and relaxing) method to discover about their products.
Yes, girl, the San Francisco Nordstrom has a health club with the normal health club treatment menu of facials, massages as well as body treatments costing upwards of $80, depending upon the service.
But since Clarins’ free facials are held in their health club rooms, they’re kinda like experiencing the health club without having to pay the huge bucks. Here’s where my facial took place:

Um, the treatment bed wasn’t untidy when I walked in. I really laid down on it for a short nap before taking this photo (hey, I exercised early as well as was tired!). The space was a bit noisy because of store web traffic outside the door, which was only partially drowned out by tunes from the top 40 radio station piped with overhead speakers. If you’re utilized to going to spas where they play soft, soothing seems of chirping crickets or, God forbid, Enya, then you may not like this. however let me remind you once again — this facial is gratis.
Despite the background noise, the facial as well as general experience was great. Sharon Trajico, a specially trained Clarins facialist, very first asked me a ton of concerns about my skin as well as my skin care routine. based on my answers, she chosen a few option Clarins products to cleanse, treat as well as secure my skin. I liked that the products weren’t heavily scented; a lot of smelled extremely light, clean as well as plant-esque.
Over the program of the treatment Sharon very carefully explained the products she was utilizing together with each product’s meant use. Clarins facialists apply product with their hands, warming each between their palms very first before application, as well as then lightly massaging as well as pressing the product into the deal with as well as neck. It’s a combo massage-beauty treatment — exceptionally relaxing.
Like specialists at European-style day spas, Shannon cleansed as well as toned my skin, used a deal with mask, then completed with a series of anti-aging as well as skin security serums as well as lotions. They skipped the facial steaming (which normally occurs before or after the mask) as well as black head extraction (hate those, ouch!), which was fine with me.
At the end of the facial my skin felt smooth, looked brighter as well as the red splotches I’d had at the begin of the treatment were gone. I liked the scents as well as structures of Clarins’ deal with products as well as can’t wait to try a lot more of the line, which includes body care as well as makeup.

By the way, in the appeal world, “free” as well as “complimentary” services are commonly code for “you must purchase at least one product before you head out,” however I’m sure you won’t be dissatisfied by the Clarins line. later today I plan to swing by my regional Nordstrom to get hold of a few of the goodies Sharon introduced me to!
