Have You Made Your Blend?

When you’re a tween, all you want to do is blend in with the (popular) crowd. By the time you graduate college you’ll spend the rest of your life trying to stand out and be different. Perhaps the hyper-trend of customization in the beauty world stems from this universal desire to feel special. Dr. Olivier Courtin for Clarins created My Blend, a collection of basic day and night lotions in which you can “inject” a shot of…well, whatever special ingredients your special skin needs. These shots, called “The Boosters,” are pumped right into the lotion to enrich and customize it specifically for you.

Their latest Booster is Ant Jet Lag Relief Emergency Booster, a concoction of hydrators, green coffee extract to help stimulate the skin and cotton seed extract to help ease reddened and irritated skin. While we’re not all in the jet-set pack, it’s worthy checking out the line, available exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue, if you truly have a special-needs complexion.
