éclos Anti-Aging Skin Care Review & Giveaway #EclosBeauty

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of éclos Skin Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

eclosskincare

I’m always excited to try new beauty products! I recently learned about éclos Skin Care products. éclos features Apple Stem Cells extracted from a rare Swiss apple which have shown tremendous ability to stimulate skin stem cells, encouraging aging skin to behave like younger skin. Plant extracts, vitamins and anti-oxidants combine with the Apple Stem Cell technology to help minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and tired skin.

The products are also scented with all-natural essential oils and do not have parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, or petro-chemicals.

I received the éclos Anti-Aging Skin Care Starter Kit to review.  The starter kit sales for $19.99 and includes sample sizes of the following products:

• Facial Cleanser Skin Prep
• Cellular Activator Face Serum
• Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream
• Restorative Eye Cream
• Instant Radiance Facial Scrub
• Skin Renewal Clay Mask
• éclos Terry Cloth Head Band

 The Facial Cleanser Skin Prep is a gentle cleanser that you use twice a day.  I found it was very good at removing makeup, and it leaves your skin feeling clean.  The Instant Radiance Facial Scrub is to be used once daily, every other day.  It is exfoliant that helps to get rid of dead skin cells. Sometimes I have dry skin, and so I love to use a good exfoliant a couple of times a week, and this a great one.  I was also surprised to learn that the product helps to prepare your skin to absorb the other products and it enhances cell turnover and evens out your tone.

The kit also includes a Restorative Eye Cream, which will reduce fine lines and wrinkles.  I know I suffer from a lack of sleep and am concerned about aging around my eyes, so I really need to use a product like this.

The Cellular Activator Face Serum and the Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream are said to work best when pair together. You apply the Face Serum, following by the Regenerative Cream, and together nourish and revitalize skin cells, while promoting collagen production to give skin a normal youthful appearance.  I personally loved the feel of these products; they leave your skin feeling refreshed and smooth.

I think my favorite product in the kit is the Skin Renewal Clay Mask.  The product cleanses skin, absorbs
impurities, and helps unclog pores.  It also tightens pores, minimizing their appearance.  The great thing about this product for me is that you can feel it working as it sets on your skin.  And it leaves your skin feeling so refreshed!

Finally with the kit, you get a headband, which is just perfect to pull your hair back, while your apply the products!

Here’s my before and after photo. My skin feels more refreshed and smooth, and I think the products are helping to unclog pores.
