Your hands aren’t just used to type away at your computer or complete all of those household chores on a daily basis, and we all use them throughout our waking hours to express ourselves and to enhance what we’re saying.

Hands are also used as a means of greeting friends and professional acquaintances, although if your hands are in a bit of a bad way, you’ll probably be very reluctant to reach out.

If this sounds like a familiar scenario, you’re certainly not alone, as dry hands are a very common condition. Harsh climatic conditions and strong household cleaning products are key contributors to severely dehydrated hands, and cracked, chapped skin can be very painful.

Leaving hands in this state is not only likely to cause embarrassment, but could also leave hands looking old and weathered well before their time. As well as this, your nails are highly unlikely to be in optimum condition.

You don’t have too look far or spend lots on defeating dry hands though, as Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand & Nail Treatment can help you to combat the condition quickly.

Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand & Nail Treatment not only helps to repair existing damage, but keeps to protect against the reappearance of dryness, and SPF 15 helps to stop sun damage from adding to problems.

Give dryness a helping hand with this must-have handbag essential.

Now that chilly temperatures are gracing us on a daily basis, many people have already started to pile on the layers in a bid to keep toasty warm.

The days of baring your body in skimpy summer shorts, tiny tops and strappy sandals are now little more than a distant memory, and whilst this is perhaps some relief to those who begrudge waxing, shaving and fake tanning all the time, the temptation to neglect your skin until spring can be all too great.

Whilst the vast majority of people are good at maintaining a good year-round facial skin care regime, during the autumn and winter, when the rest of the body is hidden beneath thick layers, forgetting to care for skin is all too common.

Neglect skin for months on end, and you are highly likely to find yourself faced with dull, dry skin come spring- which is never the best way to see in a new season.

Instead, make sure that you make the effort to cleanse properly, exfoliate regularly and moisturise after every bath or shower.

The Dermalogica Body Therapy range has lots of fab products which will help to keep your skin soft and supple throughout the cold winter climatic conditions.

Dermalogica Active Moist is a lightweight, oil-free lotion for daily moisture protection to actively combat surface dehydration. This sheer, easy-to-apply formula contains Silk Amino Acids and a unique combination of plant extracts to help smooth and improve the skin’s texture. Natural botanical astringents of Lemon, Watercress, Burdock and Ivy help to refine the skin while soothing extracts of Lavender, Mallow and Cucumber provide deep hydration.

• Provides effective skin hydration, without oils.
• Smoothes skin and helps improve texture.
• Absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy after-feel.

Dermalogica Active Moist is part of the Dermalogica Moisturisers range of products and can be found in the Excess Oil Production section.

The effects of neglecting your skin can start to make an appearance sooner rather than later, and failing to ensure that your skin receives a daily dose of TLC can lead to its appearance deteriorating very rapidly.

Let’s face it, none of us want a complexion which is dull, dry, oily or blemished, although these conditions all too commonly grace the skin of those who fail to follow a good skin care regime.

Lots of us feel that we could really benefit from a few more hours in the day, and when you’re rushed off your feet, finding the time to treat skin can be extremely difficult.

Following an adequate skin care regime morning and night is a necessity rather than a luxury though, and by bearing this in mind and strictly cleansing, toning and moisturising twice a day, you will really start to see a difference.

Through investing just a few minutes in the morning and before you head for bed, you are helping to ensure that skin is properly cleansed and nourished, and is subsequently kept in tip-top condition.

For the very best in skin care products, look no further than Dermalogica, where you can affordably invest in everything you need for superb skin.

Dirt and surface oils can really build up on the skin throughout the day, and in addition to making it look and feel a lot less than its best, it can also contribute to the appearance of spots and blemishes.

This is why it’s so important to try and keep skin as clean as possible all day long, although this is understandably easier said than done.

Whatever type of environment you work in on a daily basis, dirt, oil and bacteria can build up with alarming speed, and even if you work in a comfy and clean office, touching your face throughout the day, and air conditioning and heating systems can have a really negative impact on skin.

Wearing heavy make up for hours can also play its part in promoting less than fresh skin, so it’s always a good idea to wear the bare minimum throughout the working week.

Whilst oil blotting sheets can help you to gently blot away excess oil, when you’re looking for a way to keep skin squeaky clean throughout the day, you can’t go far wrong with Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes.

Use Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes to quickly and easily refresh skin throughout the day to remove daily dirt, oil and bacteria and keep pores are clear as possible.

A fantastic combination of ingredients including Salicylic Acid, Witch Hazel, Balm Mint, Coneflower and Camphor also help to minimise the chances of future breakouts.

As Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes come in a handy little pack, so you can store them discreetly in your desk or handbag, and no one need know your little secret.
