The other day I awoke to the haze outside my window and an overwhelming feeling of closeness in the air. I had experienced that sensation in the past, my body telling me that I needed to take a step back. As I sat in front the window, watching the haze slowly lifting off and the sun gently peeking through the clouds, I decided the only option that would do was to beat those blues and give the day a chance to be as beautiful as it should be. I mentally penciled-in a little ‘me’ time and scheduled a date with myself. First on the agenda: treating myself to 10 minutes of total bliss courtesy of my Clarins SOS Hydra Mask!
I find that my mind and skin tend to act in unison. That means to say that when my mind is out of sorts, typically so is my skin. A quick glance in the mirror revealed that my skin looked sallow, dull and in desperate need of a ‘pick me up’. The Clarins SOS Mask is a highly refreshing cream mask that helps balance the skin’s moisture levels in just 10 minutes. It goes on blue and adheres well onto the skin.
Formulated with organic Leaf of Life extracts to help power the skin’s natural hydration process and Hyaluronic Acid to intensely hydrate, this mask is the perfect treat to energize the complexion. Simply apply an even layer onto your freshly cleansed face. Let it sit for 10 minutes – use this time to meditate, journal or catch up with your favorite Instagram accounts. Once the time is up, remove with a damp washcloth or cotton pad and apply your favorite moisturizer. The skin is left feeling supple, soft and toned. The Clarins SOS Hydra works for all skin types, especially for skin that feels dry and dehydrated. It comes in a blue plastic tube, making it the idea travel companion as well.
The Clarins SOS Hydra Mask is the kind of mask that your skin and schedule will love. Anyone with a busy life knows just how precious time is. Most of us certainly don’t always have 20+ minutes to sit around with a face mask on and then wait for days to witness the results. That’s the reason why I find myself reaching for the Clarins SOS Mask. It does an excellent job refreshing and moisturizing my skin in just 10 minutes. Plus, it can be used in the morning or in the evening, the choice is entirely yours.
Before I sign off, I want you to know this. Selfcare is not just about bubble baths, face masks️, and glamorous makeup! It’s also about loving yourself, accepting your flaws and encouraging yourself to do better! In Maya Angelou’s words: ‘do the best you can until you know better. Then do better!’

Thank you so much, Jenny. There are 2 other masks in the SOS range, but the Hydra is my favorite! ~ Cat L.
Fantastic mask it seems,I tend to forget about clarins because I am so consumed with indie brands. But you have just reminded me.
The statement at the end is everything do the best you can until you know better then do better how powerful. Thanks for sharing Cat
I have become such a big Clarins fan. I haven’t tried to much from the brand apart from their sunscreen, Double Serum and this mask. But have loved everything so far! ~ Cat L.
LOVE your comment about self care…so important:) Clarins has such great products and clearly I need to look into this mask. My skin has really gotten dry this winter and this sounds like it would do wonders for it!

I have been so impressed with the Clarins line! I really love their concealer. One of my favorites! I have this Clarins mask too. I love it but I should have gotten a more hydrating one for my skin type. They never disappoint me though!
Masking on the beach – god love it! Can I join, although I may not look as gracious as you do.
I am yet to try this one but hear great things about it and if you love it then I guess it needs to be added to my list. Thank you for sharing and one day I shall come mask with you! lol
