I'm a Busy Mom—These Skincare Products Help Me Prioritize Myself

As soon as Ramirez-Fulton wakes up (and before her baby does), she does her skincare routine for

the day. Having just returned from Paris, she's been on a French kick, so her love for Clarins has only intensified. "The scent, the texture, it's all so satisfying," Ramirez-Fulton tells me. "In a world full of trends and gimmicks, it's so nice to see a brand keep to their tried and true application methods while still being able to focus on product innovation in efficacious ways." She currently has three Clarins products on rotation: Total Eye Lift ($89) and Double Serum ($127) are her go-to products every morning and night, and she uses Extra-Firming Energy ($88), as the last step in her morning routine to give her complexion a lifted look.

Today, we're focusing on Total Eye Lift. "The secret is in how the lightweight balm melts into the skin and the careful application," says Ramirez-Fulton. To reap all of this cream's benefits, warm it between your fingers for a few seconds, then use three fingertips to gently press under the eyes, over the eyelids, and onto lashes, starting from the inner corners of your eyes to the temples. Then finish by gently pressing between your eyebrows to stimulate lymphatic drainage. The formula is made with a new blend of organic harungana extract and cassie flower wax, which, in combination with Clarins' unique application method, helps the product fully absorb into the skin and gives the look of a visible eye lift in 60 seconds. According to Ramirez-Fulton, "It really does target wrinkles, crow's feet, dark circles, and all the puffiness."
