Since exhibiting at the Beauty Expo in Sydney a few weeks’ ago, I’ve been approached by many beauty salons using modern skin treatments (e.g. microdermabrasion, laser) wondering whether our products are suitable for simultaneous use. They most certainly are! In fact in most situations they will only improve on treatment results.
Whilst I have not partaken in these treatments myself (yet), I spent time talking to existing salon clients, as well as customers, family and friends, to hear their experiences and which products they found worked best with which treatment.
Here is a break-down on the 4 most common at-home and salon treatments going around (from least invasive to most) and which Clémence Organics products to combine for best effect.
What is it?
These are the rollers you’re seeing ALL over the internet at the moment. Generally made from either polished jade or quartz, they’re comprised of a broad crystal at one end (for large areas like your cheeks and forehead) and a small round crystal at the other (for tighter spots like under the nose and near the eyes).
What does it do?
By gently applying pressure, they can assist in draining fluid from the skin and increasing circulation. This can lead to improved skin tone, reduced puffiness and a boost in collagen production.
Which Clémence Organics products should I be using with this?
We highly recommend applying the Repair Face Serum before you start rolling. This will allow the roller to glide effortlessly across your skin, and the roller will increase the absorption and impact of the serum on the skin. Match made in heaven!
What is it?
These are the spiky version of crystal rollers! Basically, it’s a wand with a small head covered in tiny needles which you roll over your face.
What does it do?
The needles on the roller create small holes in your skin which allow skin care products quicker access into the deeper layers of your skin, and also stimulate skin renewal. This can benefit dry skin and anyone wanting to improve their complexion.
Which Clémence Organics products should I be using with this?
Dermal rolling should be done on clean, dry skin and so we would recommend first cleansing with our Refining Cleanser. After treatment, apply the Tone + Hydrate Spritz to calm any redness and follow with either Repair Face Serum or Ultimate Face Cream.
What is it?
This is basically a serious buff and polish for your skin. Although there are hundreds of different machines on the market, generally a small wand glides across your skin, exfoliating it with a type of crystal salt, and vacuuming up dead skin cells at the same time.
What does it do?
It’s serious exfoliation! Although multiple sessions are generally recommended to see results, microdermabrasion can help budge acne scars, pigmentation and fine lines.
Which Clémence Organics products should I be using with this?
The Clémence range is perfect for reducing inflammation post-treatment, and so we would recommend following with the Tone + Hydrate Spritz, Repair Face Serum and Ultimate Face Cream.
What is it?
Laser treatment involves using pulsating beams of light, set to different wavelengths, to address specific skin concerns. Like dermabrasion, there are hundreds of types of laser machines, including ablative (they remove the outer layer of skin) and non-ablative (do not remove skin).
What does it do?
Lasers can address anything from hyperpigmentation to tattoo removal. By varying the wavelength of the light, and the pulse duration, lasers ‘vaporise’ anything in their path.
Which Clémence Organics products should I be using with this?
Laser can cause some serious inflammation post-treatment and so we recommend applying the Tone + Hydrate Spritz to immediately cool and calm the skin. This should be followed by the Repair Face Serum and Ultimate Face Cream. Our Refining Cleanser will gently cleanse the skin in the days following, without stripping it of its natural oils and causing any further inflammation.

Perimenopause. It’s something I didn’t expect myself to be talking about, yet here I am at the ripe old/young age of 43. It actually started at 42 but I was in denial for a while. Telling myself things like “I’m too young”. “My mum didn’t go through menopause until 50 and so I don’t need to worry about anything until then”. But that’s menopause, not perimenopause. No one talks about perimenopause.
