A Spa Day with Clarins Skin Spa in Bloomingdales

A few weekends ago, the lovely ladies at Clarins at Bloomingdales in the The Mall at Short Hills invited me to come and have an 80 minute facial at their mini spa. How could I turn that down? I had not treated myself to a facial in YEARS! I was so excited! I didn’t even know that Clarins had a spa within Bloomingdales!

I arrived a few minutes before my appointment to scope out the Clarins beauty counter. There were so many new products that I had never heard of. I couldn’t wait to learn more about them! I checked in at the Clarins counter, and I was escorted to a little room off to the side. There were candles lit, with smooth music playing and the lights dimmed. You would never know you were just steps away from the very active floor of a major department store. It was an oasis of calm.

Bea, my technician, was such a sweetheart and so incredibly knowledgeable about Clarins products and skincare, in general. While she did do a few extractions, the bulk of our time was spent moisturizing and massaging every inch of my face and neck. All of the products she used smelled AMAZING. Before using a new product, she would carefully explain what the product was, as well as its purpose. I learned so much! At the end of the facial I didn’t want to leave! My face was GLOWING and I felt so relaxed. Thankfully, there was nobody scheduled right after me so I was able to take my time getting up.

Post-facial, Bea and I sat for a moment and sipped on some tea while we discussed the different products that she used and recommended for my continued use. I loved the way my skin felt so much that I took the plunge and bought several of the products! I purchased the Toning Lotion with Chamomile (the smell was intoxicating), the Double Serum (it made my face feel tighter), the Multi Active Day Cream with SPF 20 (everyone needs a good moisturizer with SPF), and the Multi Active Eye (because I really need to start working on those bags under my eyes).

These four products have become my new skincare regimen every morning. After using the products for almost a month, I can tell you that I am sold. My skin looks and feels amazing. And, as a new mama who does not have a lot of extra time on her hands in the morning, this regimen is so quick and easy! I can’t wait to go back and see Bea for another facial soon! Crossing my fingers and hoping E sees this and books me a facial for Mother’s Day. A girl can dream, right?
