Protecting skin isn’t just for the ladies

We are all now fully aware of the importance of protecting the skin against the sun’s rays on a daily basis- whatever the time of year- and whilst more and more ladies are realising that incorporating a sun screen into their skin care regime is vital, some men are unfortunately trailing behind.

Whilst ‘metro-sexual’ men are on the rise, some guys are still of the opinion that splashing out on skin care products is ‘girly’, although this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Even on those dull and dreary days when the sun doesn’t even seem to make a brief appearance, UV rays can still have a very damaging effect on skin, and these rays can very quickly help to contribute to skin looking far older than its’ years.

Nowadays, new skin care products for men are constantly being introduced on the market, and their masculine packaging and musky scents mean that they are anything but girly.

One fantastic product which should be a must-have in any guy’s bathroom cabinet is Dermalogica Daily Defence Block, which contains SPF 15.

In addition to helping to shield skin from the sun’s rays, Dermalogica Daily Defence Block is also a great addition to the shaving regime, as it rehydrates skin whilst helping to prevent in-grown hairs.

Have you left summer skin care until the very last minute?

Even though a large proportion of the UK has seen heavy rain showers recently, the summer is not yet over and there’s still time for the warm sun to grace us once- even if it is just for a couple of days.

There are also still a lucky few who are still waiting in anticipation to jet off on their foreign summer holiday, although as many High Street stores are now starting to focus on autumn/ winter stock, getting your hands on those last minute essentials is becoming increasingly difficult.

Whether you’re planning on spending the remainder of the summer on UK soil or in sunnier climes, if you still haven’t invested in sunscreen, you could find that your options become more and more limited with each passing day.

Unlike the stores in your local shopping centre though, Dermalogica has a fantastic range of sun protection products available all year round- and there’s still plenty of time to shop for them online.

The Dermalogica Solar Defence System consists of effective and high quality products for the face and body, and they are specially tailored to suit different skin types.

Don’t panic about finding that all-important last minute sun protection- head straight for Dermalogica.

Wake up to dream skin- every morning

We all know that it’s essential to get around 8 hours sleep if we want to wake up feeling refreshed, energised and ready to face the day ahead. However, with so many people leading such busy and stressful lifestyles, this is often far easier said than done.

It’s all too easy to get carried away watching your favourite film, worrying about work matters or chatting to friends on social networking sites each evening- and before you know it midnight has arrived.

As well as making you feel tired and sluggish the following day, not getting enough sleep can also have a really negative impact on your skin.

Nobody wants to wake up with dark circles and bags under their eyes- although unfortunately these are very common side effects of not getting enough shut-eye.

Although there’s no substitute for sleep, ensuring that you follow an effective pre-bedtime skin care regime can help to keep your skin looking its best.

After cleansing and toning, you then need to ensure that you’re using a good, rich moisturiser, which can help to replenish skin during those hours of sleep which you do manage to catch.

Dermalogica Super Rich Repair moisturiser is great for use as a night cream, and intensely nourishes skin whilst keeping any premature signs of skin aging at bay.

Make an effort to get more early nights and, in combination with a little help from Dermalogica, your skin will reap the rewards.

Don’t let changing weather conditions catch you out

The weather in many areas of the UK has been temperamental to say the least this summer, although as there are still a few weeks left until autumn approaches, all is not yet lost.

One of the problems with having to deal with ever-changing weather conditions is deciding which type of sunscreen to opt for, and this confusion has resulted in many people skipping the sunscreen altogether.

When you take into account the fact that some form of sun protection- however light- should be applied to the face even during the winter months, you get an idea of how important is it during the summer.

Even when the summer sun is hidden behind dark rain clouds, your skin can still suffer, and premature skin ageing could be winging its way to you with alarming speed.

Getting into the habit of mixing a product such as Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster in with your daily moisturiser is a great way of ensuring that the sun’s rays don’t catch you out, and with SPF 30 protection, it is ideal for use all year round.

Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster is suitable for all skin types, so make it your must-have purchase- whatever the weather.

Last minute holiday skin care essentials

Booking a last minute holiday abroad can be extremely exciting, especially if you have been waiting all summer for the perfect opportunity to fly off to warmer climes. As the start of the summer was very promising, many people believed that enjoying the British summer sun would be more than enough substitute for not booking a holiday abroad. However, as the weather took a turn for the worse it quickly became apparent that this wasn’t the case.

There are some great deals to be had when you book a last minute holiday, and there is usually an abundance of fantastic destinations to choose from. Cheap last minute deals often mean that you have just a matter of days to get your hands on all of those holiday essentials though, and with many shops now confining summer items to the stockroom for another year, you may find this a very tricky task.

One thing which you can’t afford to neglect on your last minute shopping spree though is sun screen, as it’s one of the most important holiday essentials. Thankfully though, you don’t have to rely on the shops on your High Street for your sun protection products, and you can shop for products online and have them delivered direct to your door with plenty of time to spare.

The Dermalogica Solar Defence Range is a great choice for last minute holidaymakers, and contains everything you need to keep your skin protected during your much needed break.
