You’re in for a treat in this week’s blog instalment of #NightInWithEscentual! I was lucky enough to spend a night in with Rebecca Jones, one of Clarins’ Beauty Coaches, who has worked for Clarins for over eight years; after being in the beauty industry for over 11 years I know she’s a real expert!

For an hour, we talked about cleansing, toning and what happens when you don’t cleanse. I picked up tips that I’ll carry with me forever, and I can guarantee there will be something below that will change the way you cleanse forever. Read on to learn something new that will improve your skin!
