Moisturisers are everywhere you look nowadays- there are just so many superb products to choose from. With such fantastic choice, there’s no more settling for second best in the form of a moisturiser which doesn’t tick each and every single box as far as your skin’s individual needs are concerned.

However, a large proportion of the moisturisers which are currently available are oil-based, and whilst these moisturisers can be absolutely amazing when it comes to looking after some skin types, they’re not for everyone.

For those for whom oil-based moisturisers aren’t suitable, oil-free moisturisers are a must- and there are many benefits to be enjoyed through reaching for an oil-free moisturiser instead.

Oil-free moisturisers are great for those whose skin is prone to excessive oiliness, and it can prevent skin from becoming even oilier and can help to keep skin looking more matte.

Oil-free moisturisers are also beneficial for those who wear makeup, as they can provide a brilliant base.

A good oil-free moisturiser- such as Dermalogica Active Moist- will still keep the skin adequately hydrated, so you can enjoy the benefits without having to succumb to any negatives.

A huge proportion of people religiously follow a cleansing regime which consists of cleansing, toning and moisturising, as these steps are key in keeping the skin in good condition. However, whilst cleansing, toning and moisturising is super important, it’s not always the be all and end all, and the use of other types of skin care products can also prove highly beneficial.

Exfoliants are fantastic for getting rid of dulling, dead skin cells and for keeping the skin looking bright and healthy, and there are lots of great products out there nowadays.

Exfoliants which have been designed to be used on just a very infrequent basis can produce tremendous results. These aren’t the only option though, as exfoliants which have been designed to be used on a daily basis- such as the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant- can also be superb beneficial to the skin.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is brilliant for brightening up the skin, balancing out uneven pigmentation, removing debris on the skin’s surface and stimulating cell renewal- it’s a great all-rounder.

The Daily Microfoliant proves that infrequent exfoliation isn’t necessarily always best- so make sure that you make the best choice for your skin.

After a strenuous session in the gym or after sitting in a humid environment for hours on end, skin can start to feel absolutely awful.

When you feel that your skin feels dirty and grimy, you’re highly unlikely to feel good about yourself, and when dirt and oil is left to linger on the skin, you might not feel too confident about your skin further down the line if spots and blemishes are left to make an appearance.

Lugging a big bottle of cleanser around isn’t exactly ideal for most people though, and this can make it hard to be able to do anything about the state of skin until you step through your door. There is an effective and convenient solution though- which comes in the form of Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes. Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes are perfect for popping in your pocket or handbag, and they’re so convenient that they can be used just about anywhere- you don’t even need to head to the loo.

Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes can swiftly eliminate oil, bacteria and other impurities- which will help to keep pores nice and clear.

Don’t let skin nasties linger- get rid of them with Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes.

When the weather is on the particularly cold side, it isn’t just the skin on the face which can become chapped and raw if it isn’t protected properly, as the skin on the hands can also become really sore.

Even leaving the hands exposed to the bitterly cold elements for just a short period of time can leave then looking and feeling worse for wear, and before you know it, the skin on your hands is such a state that you’re feeling really embarrassed about letting anybody see them.

Provided you invest in a good hand cream and provided you protect your hands with gloves when you step outside into freezing cold temperatures though, there’s no reason whatsoever why you’ll ever need to feel embarrassed about your hands being on display.

For a hand cream which will not only help to keep your hands in tip top condition but which will help to keep your nails healthy, look no further than the fantastic Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand & Nail Treatment.

The Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand & Nail Treatment is effective at protecting and repairing, and as it can also stop premature skin aging it really is the complete package.
