This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of éclos Skin Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

SURPRISE!! I am a Licensed Master Aesthetician and Makeup Artist!! 
{told you I do a little bit of EVERYTHING}

Anyway...  DO you know what that means? Basically I am a skin care expert... I love keeping up on all the new anti-aging products and treatments, as well as the best ways to treat acne. I am also licensed to do laser treatments, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, facials, full body waxing, body treatments...etc...

*FUN FACT* Every night you don't wash your face.. you age TWO WEEKS!!!! No more falling asleep with your makeup on! Drag yourself out of bed and wash your face! Then say your prayers and good night LOL!

Because I have a passion for skin care, I was more than willing to do a product review for éclos Skin Care​. I am really picky about my skin care and I promise to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

*TIP* When you change your skin care regimen all of the sudden, your skin may respond in many different ways... you might have an increase in oil production, you may dry out, you might break out, have some discoloration... and so on. You need to give your skin a week or two to adjust to any new changes. That being said, if any of those symptoms are terribly bad.. you could be allergic to an ingredient in the product. 

I am a packaging snob.. if that exists.. if something isn't packaged well, I usually don't buy it, especially when it comes to beauty products. Well I was pleasantly surprised with the éclos Skin Care​ packaging, it is bright, botanical, and it has that medical twist. {which is a great thing for anti-aging products}
The second thing I noticed {which is also a big deal to me} was the smell! It was perfect... exactly what I expected from what I read on the box about the Plant Extracts from a rare Swiss Apple.
Now for the Third... How well the cleanser washes off makeup, and I mean completely, mascara and all! Well, it passed the test with flying colors!! 
Let me break down the skincare in simple terms, and directions

1. Facial Cleanser- Use a pea size mixed with a little water and lather up in your hands or washcloth, in light circular motions massage all over face and neck for about 1 minute, then rinse completely. {Like I said before, it smells great and it melts away your makeup, PLUS!}
2. ​Facial Scrub- Use a pea size mixed with a little water, massage into face and neck {avoiding eyes} for about 30 seconds then rinse clean, can be used daily or every other day. {if you are not used to a scrub, start out with once a week and work your way up} -{This is nice, it gets warm in your hands for a second, and feels great as you are taking the cleansing process one step further}
3. ​Clay Mask- Use a dime size mixed with a little water, massage into face and neck {avoiding eyes} and let set for 5 to 10 min. Only use once or twice a week.
4. ​Face Serum- Make sure your face is totally clean and dry, using a tiny bit gently apply this serum all over face and neck {a little goes a long way}- {LOVE! This smells good and feels silky smooth, you can almost feel the healing properties immediately}
5. ​Regenerative Cream- Use a pea size and gently massage into face and neck {A good finishing cream, feels very luxurious, moisturizing, and again, smells great}
6. Eye Cream- Use a tiny dot and pat around the eye area {My personal fave! I love a good eye cream, because they are hard to find! It feels very silky and hydrating, and my eyes looked better than normal when I woke up in the morning}

I need to be very clear that I did not touch up these pictures! I took them both with my phone, both times at night.

*TIP* When buying anti-aging skin care you must be careful that you aren't buying ingredients that are way too active or intense for your skin... please make sure you consult a professional! Also, don't let anyone talk you into ANYTHING that you aren't ready for!
​I do like the fact that éclos Skin Care is a more natural or botanical skin care line, as opposed to others that are very acidic and have synthetic ingredients.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my acids, but it is a nice change to switch off with a natural line.

I have to be honest tho, I did not see a huge change in my fine lines.. only because I have been an Aesthetician for 10 years and I have been using HIGH quality skin care since then and it keeps them at bay... but I did get to witness some pretty powerful healing benefits!! I get the monthly breakouts, just like most women do, and because I despise pimples.. I am a picker.. even tho I KNOW BETTER! Well now I have caused redness, and sores! I took the before picture the day I got the product and the after is about 7 or 8 days later. The difference is obvious, but I noticed a reduction in my redness the very next morning!
