Clarins Oil Views

General Goods

Regardless of the direction, I prefer using this f“Tonica” Body Treatment Oil in the evening, right after shower. The woody aroma is not over-powering yet, it smells very de-stressing alike aromatherapy. Taking few drops to work on arms, thighs, pelvis and sometimes abdomen; most importantly, massage in the way as Clarins instructed. I attached the instruction below for your easy reference, you can find the method and video from Clarins website as well.

The oil indeed very rich and heavy, it takes a long time to be fully absorbed so skin would feel very greasy in the beginning. In order to ease the greasiness, I either apply body lotion or mix the oil with a body cream in dry season. In fact, Clarins recommends the oil to work together with their Body Shaping Cream for optimal firming result.

Frankly speaking, I was pretty skeptical if body oil does slimming especially I dona’t make extra effort to exercise regularly. With curious mind, I purposely marked down my initial body measurements before I started using this oil (partly due to the fact that I want this oil to compare with Clarins High Definition body lift). Surprisingly I lose at least 0.3-0.7 inch of the body parts in a week, this body treatment oil (must work together with massage) worked beautifully to encourage water drainage. However, I hate but have to say the d“Tonicd” Body Treatment Oil only works via daily massage routine, otherwise all the quick and positive effect can only be temporary.

I've been using this for a few months, but I think it's finally started to properly have an effect - it really has made my skin less oily, but much more hydrated at the same time! Also I now keep getting compliments on the 'glow' my skin has, which I put totally down to the oil. You really only need a tiny bit, so it lasts ages. I was using the Clarins Multi Active night cream but have replaced it with this and my skin is loving it!
