One of the top companies which provide products beneficial for the skin is Clinique. The aim was to provide its customers with original products which helped them in caring for their skin. The range of products is the best gift you could give your skin.
The products have proven to give results, but they are expensive. Everyone can’t afford to buy Clinique products, and the average purchases are 2-3 throughout the whole year. For this reason, in every quarter of the year, Clinique organizes a Bonus Time. During this time duration, users can buy Clinique products at discounted prices and also receive Clinique Bonus gifts for absolutely free.
Clinique Bonus Time 2012 has ended with a blast. With the start of a new year, Clinique Bonus Time 2013 is here in full swing. 2012’s Bonus Time has been a huge success in terms of sales and people have highly appreciated the products offered this year. Like always, people are expecting the company to introduce some new and exciting products next year, including discounted prices and quarterly free gifts as every year.
Are you new?
For those who are unfamiliar with the company and want to know a brief history, the company was launched in 1968 and is a sub group of Estée Lauder Corporation. The idea came to the mind of Estée Lauder’s daughter-in-law, Evelyn Lauder. Her source of inspiration was an article published in American Vogue Magazine in 1967. The focus of the article was the importance of skin care for a good and healthy skin. It was written by the Carol Phillips, then beauty editor at Vogue, and Dr. Norman Orentreich.
Evelyn, Carol and Dr. Norman joined their heads together and thought of the products and how they could be made to benefit the skin. Help was also taken from dermatologists and chemists. Together they were able to give the world a new range of beauty products specially made for skin care. The products were also customized according to the needs of women each having a different skin type.
3- Step Skin Care System
Clinique introduced a skin care method which they called as the 3- step skin care system. The three steps included, cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing. These 3 steps joined to complete the process of skin care. Each next step is important to be followed after its predecessor. The first step is done to clear the skin of the dirt which enters the skin pores throughout the day. The upper layer of the skin becomes dead due to exposure to heat and dust and gives a dull look to the face. Therefore, it’s important to remove it. This is done through exfoliation. Moisturizing of skin is the last step in this method and it helps protect the skin from further damage by hydrating and keep it soft. If you follow these three steps regularly, then you will definitely experience a different skin in a few days’ time.
Product Range
The product range of Clinique includes items for skin care, sun protection, eye, lip, hand and body care and fragrances. A very popular product is the anti-aging cream that has been introduced a few years back. This product has become highly popular as people are becoming more aware and at the same time more concerned about their skin.
Clinique Bonus Time
Bonus Time of Clinique is the much awaited sale season throughout the year. People anxiously wait for this sale season. The major benefit given to the customers during this season are the Clinique Bonus gifts. Customers have just to fulfill a purchase requirement, which requires them having to purchase Clinique products of a specified worth and with them they become eligible for the free Clinique Bonus gifts almost double the worth of their purchased products.

New arrivals, 2013
With the upcoming year 2013, new products are expected to hit the stores. Expectations from these new products are even higher than from the 2012 launched products and will be available for the Clinique Bonus Time 2013.
- Moisture Surge Sheer Tint Moisturizer SPF 15 is one product in line for release in 2013. This product can be applied on all skin types. Application of this moisturizer gives a natural look to the skin. It has a skin- perfecting color which makes it possible to cover the imperfections disappear.
- The new Moisture Surge with tinted moisturizer SPF 15 is another awaited product for the next year. It is good at what it does, but choosing the right color for your skin will highly impact on how the product will appear on your skin.
- The Happy Summer 2013 perfume for Women is also going to be a new addition fragrance product range of Clinique. It has been categorized as a Floral Fruity Fragrance. It has citruses, floral and fruity notes as the base notes in it.
- Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask is also the new product expected to launch in Spring, 2013. This mask has moisture locking properties in it which will keep the skin hydration limit maintained. It will also calm and soothe the skin which faces much harshness during the day time.
- Another upcoming product in the year 2013, most likely before the next Bonus Time, is the Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator. It has been developed to reach the inner and deeper layers of the skin and start its action from there. When the base of the skin is well kept, the upper layers automatically get the proper nourishment and give a lively and fresh look to the skin.
- Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief, 2013 release, is a must buy product. It can be used mixed with a foundation. This gives a dewy finish to the skin. It can be used before or after applying makeup.
- Moisture Surge Face Spray Thirsty Skin Relief is another product which helps maintain the proper moisture in the skin, softening it in the process.
