If there is a title for “World’s biggest sceptic” I’d be right up there with Scully. Remember The X-Files<\/a>? No? Too young then, you won’t need this serum \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

As a kid I was called “Moon-face” in school. Kids are horrible cruel creatures. But I’ve always had a round face. If my genetics are anything to go by (just look at your parents) I’m going to end up still with a broad round face, but with jowls.<\/p>\n

So as I started trying out the Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Serum<\/strong>, I targeted those dreaded jowls I was developing. Gravity is cruel.<\/p>\n

Now the ad talks about creating a V shape for your face. Yes its ideal but I’m going to tell you to be realistic and understand your face structure. If your structure is not predisposed to a V shape, no cream in the world can give you that. Plastic surgery might though. So in my case, I have a roundish face but squarish jawline. My sole target was to reduce the pockets around my jawline as it makes my face look “heavy”.<\/p>\n

Well, knock me down with a feather! This face sculpting serum helps! Some pictures follow below.<\/p>\n

I was told that this serum is an Asia only product. It has been around for a while, but this is a new formula. According to Clarins, Asians are genetically prone to having more fat pockets on our face. It keeps us looking young for longer but it can also make us look puffy and “heavy” if we aren’t careful, and as we age. With our poor diets, stress, pollution and poor circulation, we find ourselves retaining more water. If you’ve ever woken up in the morning wondering why your face looks puffy, apparently, this is why.<\/p>\n

The Clarins serum aims to address this and this serum helps expedite the drainage of toxins through our lymphatic system. I’m not familiar with the science behind it so I’ll just tell you if it works. The instructions are to use 4 pumps. I used it for a week then decreased to 3 pumps. Makes it last a little longer \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Smooth the serum between your hands (there’s a light scent) and spread on your face starting from the center outwards. I usually take it down to my neck too.<\/p>\n

The serum absorbs quite quickly without a sticky feel to the skin. There is a special facial pressure technique shown in the video below which takes about 2 minutes. But, you don’t need to use this technique. The serum does the job itself. Using the technique is supposed to help expedite the process.<\/p>\n

Briefly, the technique is as follows:-<\/p>\n
