Smooth skin may seem like a pipe-dream for many, thanks to health and lifestyle choices playing havoc with the surface level of our bodies. However, with a few simple changes to your routine and integrating truly effective products into your repertoire, it may be a lot easier than you think to achieve the smooth and glowing surface you’ve dreamed of. Consistent exfoliation can not only ensure our skin is healthy looking
and refreshed, but it also helps to prevent clogged pores, acne, ingrown
hairs, scarring, blemishes and all kinds of infections. If you suffer
from breakouts or those annoying bumpy bits on your arms or legs, then
exfoliation can really help the skin to regenerate and look like new. If
you’re struggling with acne, it may just be that your pores are
becoming blocked with dead skin cells that are causing irritation and
infection. Whatever your problem, the solution could be Clearista: a brand that offers truly effective retexturising solutions, that can be used both on the body and face, to reveal smooth and glowing skin.
Clearista use an innovative approach to skincare called Targeted Corrective Exfoliation (TCX) which aids the skin’s natural exfoliation process; the formula hydrates, softens and smoothes the skin with practically immediate results – from the very first application my skin felt much smoother and softer, while looking more radiant. With frequent use the gel can reduce the appearance of a wide range of raised and pigmented skin imperfections, including rough skin bumps, rough or dry patches, and discoloration. I’ve had ‘chicken skin’ on the tops of my arms for as long as I can remember, having been incredibly self conscious as a teenager about revealing this red and bumpy skin. Although I’ve been using an effective moisturiser to help target the problem, as soon as I stopped using it even for a few days the results slowed down; however, integrating a touch of Clearista into my morning routine and washing away in the shower has left me with clearer and softer skin that’s definitely ready to be revealed for the new season.
Although the formula is highly effective, it’s also incredibly gentle thanks to their avoidance of artificial dyes, fragrances, well known irritants and controversial ingredients such as parabens. If you’re concerned about what you put on your skin, or even about causing irritation, then you don’t have to be worried about harsh and potentially problem ingredients. Although the Retexturizing Gel is full of tiny hardworking beads, when applied it feels incredibly gentle and doesn’t leave skin feeling sore or overworked; the formula has been designed to be used both on the face and body, illustrating the gentle exfoliation it provides. It’s a pleasure to massage this into skin for 30-60 seconds daily (although after you’ve achieved the desired results I’d recommend reducing this to only a couple of times a week for maintenance,) knowing that my skin will feel fabulous when I step out of the shower. If you’re not a fan of having fifty different products in your shower, then this also offers a ‘one size fits all’ approach to super smooth skin – no faffing required.
Exfoliation can also increase the effectiveness of the other steps
in your skincare routine, unblocking pores and ensuring moisturisers
can penetrate and get to work. Regularly removing the build-up of dead and dull skin cells on the surface will help serums and creams to perform to their best, as well as aiding the application of makeup for a practically flawless finish. This simple process makes such a
difference to so many areas of your beauty routine that it really should
be a no-brainer – so much so that you can actually try a sample of Clearista’s Retexturizing Gel absolutely free, with no obligation whatsoever.

My sample arrived but customs wanted £20 before they'd hand it over. Gutted, I had to return to sender 🙁
Really sorry to hear this Cat – did you definitely add in the code LBQ when you ordered? If so, do contact Clearista via their customer services or Twitter to see if they can re-send.
Yeah, I definitely added the code. I'll contact them directly. I thought maybe I had won one of the full size products as contents value was $90. Thanks for your help Hayley 🙂
I had the same Cat, Parcel Force have sent me a lovely bill for £24 before they'll hand it over, I'd love to try it, but not when it'll cost the same as actually buying the product. Told Parcel Force I don't want it!!!Sorry to be such a downer like!
Hi Laura, did you enter the code LBQ at the checkout? This removes any charges as otherwise you will be charged import from the US. If so, do contact Clearista via Twitter and see if they can help. Thanks.
Aloha, sorry for the delayed reply!Indeed I did add the code LBQ at the checkout, initially it wanted to charge me $20 for shipping from the US.I'll get in touch with their customer service to see if they can help!
I've had the same issue I entered all the codes as advised but Clearista didn't pay the custom fees as the sample is coming from overseas 12.25 custom fee plus £8 handle fee from Royal Mail. Feel ripped off
Really sorry about this Ali – do drop them a tweet and they're happy to help/send a replacement. (@clearista)
Ive had bumpy skin for a good few years now and I think Ive tried everything I can think of to get rid of it, I had to order a sample, it will be my new favourite product if it makes the bumps go away! Thank you for holding the giveaway and offering samples too!
Thanks LBQ. I emailed Clearista and they have refunded me. They sent me this reply: Thank you for your email! We would never want you to pay for a free sample, and I am so sorry for the issue with customs! It is truly unacceptable to have to pay for anything that was promised as free, and the fault lies entirely with us. It looks as though a few of our samples got out the door with a value printed on the label, when that should not have been the case. This in turn prompted customs fees and post charges and we doing our best to fix this promptly. We have either reimbursed the handful of people who have been charged or, for those who are still currently waiting to pick up their samples, we are also offering to pay customs offices on their behalf (since many offices have the option to pay the fees online).Since you have already paid the fees, please let us reimburse you for any monies you paid. I can offer payment via PayPal (simply let me know the best email address) or a printed check. We take your feedback very seriously and please accept my sincerest apologies for this incredible inconvenience. We in no way meant to pull a bait and switch and will be tightening up our shipping process to ensure this never happens again.We would never want to tarnish the good reputation of LBQ, and will do everything in our power to ensure this free sample is truly FREE for you
Thanks for sharing Ali. They've assured me everyone will get a free sample and they'll pay for any incurred customs charges. Got to love Royal Mail!
