The Top Rated At Home Spa Experience For Sensitive Skin!

28 May, 2021 - 08:45am by - Head Pixie | 126 Comments

by BR Kellie

Those with sensitive skin know how finicky it can be. Dryness, tightness, discomfort and random breakouts are just a few signs of sensitive skin. Having reactive skin can make it hard to find a skincare regimen you trust, and visiting a spa for a facial can be out of the question as you've no idea how your skin will respond to the products used. That's why we love that Clarins has come out with the Calm-Essentiel range, which is designed to create an in-home spa experience for sensitive skin.

We recently sent Beauty Review members the regimen to trial and the results were wonderful, with every product receiving the Top Rated badge, and the range receiving a 4.6/5 rating. Not only did reviewers see the appearance of redness reduced, flakiness disappear and beautifully hydrated skin, they also enjoyed an experience of self-care with a custom application method that gave a spa experience at home. Want to recreate it?

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Soothing Emulsion - rated 4.7/5

First things first, cleanse your skin then gently pat dry. Pump a little emulsion into your hands, then warm the product in your hands before applying so as not to shock your sensitive skin. Apply the emulsion with light pressure, and don't forget to bring it down your neck and decollété.

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Redness Corrective Gel - rated 4.2/5

If you are experiencing occasional redness, apply the Calm-Essentiel Redness Corrective Gel where required. Redness appears reduced due to the gel's green pearls and pigments. Its refreshing texture melts into the skin, intensely moisturising and protecting.

Clarins Calm-Essentiel Restoring Treating Oil - rated 4.4/5

If you find your skin needs a hydration boost, an oil is the perfect way to nourish your skin at night. A few drops into your palm, warmed between your hands and then applied to your face is a soothing treat your skin will love.

Finally, finish with what Clarins calls a 'cocoon wrap'. A comforting experience that's designed to relax you, by placing your hands around your ears and temples while pressing for five seconds. Take a moment here to inhale, then exhale, and relax.

All in all the experience doesn’t take more than a few minutes, but they're a few minutes of self-care, where you can take a moment out of your day to focus on yourself, while treating your sensitive skin. Bliss.

Would you like a chance to win one of two sets of the Calm-Essentiel range?

Tell us about your skin sensitivity and be in to win The Calm-Essentiel Soothing Emulsion (RRP $96), the Calm-Essentiel Redness Corrective Gel (RRP $69), and the Calm-Essentiel Restoring Treatment Oil (RRP $105)!

This range sounds like bliss, a real treat for my sensitive skin. I would love to trial them to see how they can help calm my skin down and reduce redness

This looks sooo good! I started reacting to some skincare products in my early twenties and have had to be careful of quality and ingredients ever since.

Clairns would be awesome to win as my skin is so changeable as I get older, menopause, dry then oily skin, redness, breakouts, some dry and then rough patches, wrinkles. To find a product like Clairns that will help my skin would be great. Thanks.

The winter months really mess with my skin - drying it out and making it sensitive. These Soothing Emulsion sounds delightful and just what I need to combat these cold drying days. The fact that it can all be done in a few minutes is so appealing and for a busy working mum is music to my ears!

My skin is all over the place. I find I have to change my skincare quite frequently due to the sensitivity that can occur from most products. I am yet to find one that I can stick to. That's why I love this site because I am always ready to try new and different skincare brands and types. I would love to try this product and review!

My skin sensitivity has increased as I get older. I often find I have rosacea flare ups if I use the wrong product, or too much hot water, or even eat the wrong foods. I find that my skin is quite dehydrated all the time too, so oils are the way to go. If I use something that has too much fragrance, then my neck will flare up too! The Clairns Redness Corrective Gel would we nice to try for my rosacea redness!

Hi have very dry and sensitive skin. I have been struggling for many years with my skin and have never found the right products for me. This will be great to try and to finally settle on a product that will work.

This would be phenomenal to win!!!! My skin gets grumpy with harsh products, and starting to show early signs of aging, combined with cold weather, mask wearing, air conditioning, everything is starting to go south!! Combine that with having a one year old, a restructure at work, and being given notice on our house, I think the relaxation of the spa vibe would be just what I need!!! If selected I'll also review the items here too.

Oh wow this is amazing. I would love to try this. I am a 52 year old woman and I notice my skin is changing as I am getting older. It needs more attention and I am suffering with dry patches and blotches. I do look after my skin but even the change of seasons can have an impact on our skin. This would be an amazing prize to win.

I would love an opportunity to try these products out. Since giving birth a year ago ky skin has completely changed and has become a lot more dry and sensitive. I struggle with dry patches and flakes and a lot of products while they're hydrating make my skin red and sore. Clarins is such a well known and loved brand I would love the opportunity to use them.

Omg the cocoon wrap sounds delightful! Im gping to try that later after my shower haha. My skin is dry, sensitive and a lil red but it calms down slightly, depending which face wash i use (either a solid lush one or the pink nivea one). Both are nice but both have flaws. If i am not lucky enough to win, please!! Put it in the vault hahaha

I would live to ve considered to try this beauty regime, with the age of 40 looming my skin has changed since those youthful days of just a cleanse and moisturize! With sensitive skin and the odd appearing dry patch, I need a skin SOS to give a go and see how the results are. Thank you for this opportunity! Help an aging lady kid!

I would love to try this! I am a flight attendant so I have to wear a mask everyday I work for many hours. My skin is hating it! Plus I get excema so have sensitive skin... Hoping this would help

What an amazing prize pack to win!

I have ridiculously sensitive skin, even sitting at work under the air con makes my skin flare up and go red beyond recognition! It would be amazing to win this and finally give my dry, red, flakey sensitive skin a much needed break. I'm in a client facing role everyday so it can be super disheartening standing in front of people 8 hours a day and have a bright red and raw face, so the confidence boost that would come with having beautiful skin would be the icing on the top xx

Good luck to everyone that enters!
