If you have sensitive skin, you’ll understand how difficult it can be to find products which don’t irritate it in any way. Finding cosmetics and skin care products which don’t bring your skin out in a rash, blemishes or make it feel dehydrated can feel like an absolute nightmare, although there are many great products on the market at the moment which have been specially tailored for this skin type.

One product which many people with sensitive skin have problems with is sunscreen, and this has led to some neglecting to apply any altogether- and suffering the consequences.

Even when the sun doesn’t appear to be shining particularly brightly, the sun’s rays can still have a really damaging effect- especially on exposed areas such as the face. So, for this reason, sunscreen is essential even on those duller days, and nobody should take the gamble of leaving the house without it- sensitive skin or not.

The Dermalogica Solar Defence System offers some great sunscreens for sensitive skin, which effectively protect against UV rays whilst also keeping the skin in optimum condition.

Both the Dermalogica Super Sensitive Faceblock and Dermalogica Ultra Senstive Faceblock feature chemical free formulations, which offer SPF 30 AND SPF 25 protection respectively. For a healthy hint of colour which doesn’t require sun exposure, opt for the Ultra Sensitive Faceblock.

Even the most sensitive of skin can be shielded from sun damage this summer.

Excessively oily skin is a relatively common skin complaint, although many people still struggle to keep the condition under control. Oily skin can be a problem whatever the time of year, although warmer temperatures can make things worse.

One of the ways in which many women with oily skin attempt to keep shine at bay is through the use of pressed or loose powder. Whilst applying powder at the start of the day is a great way of achieving a matte looking base, constantly re-applying it can make your skin feel heavy and look patchy and uneven.

Thankfully though, using powder isn’t the only way of getting rid of shine, and there are several other measures which you can take and products which you can use which won’t leave skin feeling clogged.

If you’re still using a regular moisturiser, swapping this for an oil-free product can make a really big difference, and skin will be moisturised just as effectively.

Keeping a supply of oil blotting sheets close to hand will also help you to wage war on oiliness. You can pick these up really affordably, and they help to soak up oil rather than cover it.

Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion is another great weapon in the battle against oily skin, and in addition to contributing to a long-lasting matte look it’s also great at minimising breakouts.

Reduce your reliance on powder- there are far better options out there.

If your skin is prone to breakouts, you will probably understand how difficult it can be to find products which can effectively clear your skin without contributing to an oily look.

There are many products on the market nowadays which promise to get skin back to its peak condition quickly, although the problem with many of these products is that they can leave a greasy residue on skin- which can not only feel uncomfortable, but can also leave pores even more clogged.

If you feel that your skin looks oily, your confidence can also take a hit, and for this reason it’s important that you find a product which can not only improve the overall look of your skin, but which will also keep it looking matte whilst it works its magic.

You don’t have to worry about spending days searching for the perfect product though, as Dermalogica Clearing Mattifier is just the job.

Dermalogica Clearing Mattifier is a 3 in 1 solution- in addition to clearing up breakouts and controlling shine, congestion is also reduced.

This fantastic product will help to give you instant skin confidence- and keep it sky high all day long.

Dermalogica Clearing Mattifier is your ultimate weapon in your fight against spots and shine, and you will be well on your way to victory from the first application.

If you’re just about to go on your annual family summer holiday, there are likely to be many bits and pieces will you still need to take care of.

Packing for yourself can be hard enough, although when you also have children to attend to you’re sure to be rushed off your feet.

From clothing to beachwear to toiletries, packing all of your suitcases can be a lengthy task in itself, and you probably have a check list which is as long as your arm.

When holidaying with the children in a hot country, one thing which will be high on your list of priorities is packing adequate sunscreen for the little ones. Children’s skin is extremely susceptible to sunburn, so you need to ensure that you opt for a very high SPF product. If your children enjoy splashing about in the pool, you also need to pack waterproof protection.

However, it’s not just the children’s sunscreen which you need to worry about- you also need to think about your own. Adult skin can also burn at an alarming speed when you’re holidaying abroad, and like the children, if you enjoy a dip in the pool, you also need to invest in a waterproof sunscreen.

The Dermalogica Solar Defence range contains everything you need to keep your skin looking fantastic all holiday long, and whether you’re looking for products for the face or the body, Dermalogica will have the perfect product.
