However many winter woollies you stock up on, unless you don’t mind walking around in a balaclava, the one area which is left exposed to the cruelly cold temperatures is the face.

The chapped, red faced look generally isn’t a good one, and as well as making you look a little silly, it can also leave your skin a little worse for wear.

During the warm summer months, the majority of people don’t hesitate to protect their skin from the sun’s rays, and although many also realise that it’s also important to use a product with an SPF during the autumn and winter, they fail to realise that it’s also important to shield skin from temperatures at the other end of the thermometer.

Many people resign themselves to the fact that they will have to put up with skin looking and feeling less than its best during the winter, although by investing in a protection product such as Dermalogica Soothing Protection Spray, you really don’t have to.

Dermalogica Soothing Protection Spray simultaneously protects and soothes skin, and also helps to protect against the appearance of that dreaded red faced look.

Dermalogica Soothing Protection Spray lets you enjoy stunning looking skin even when the snow and ice are giving you the shivers.

Tis the season to be jolly- although this could be a lot easier said than done if you have found yourself the less than happy recipient of spots or a blemish. Even worse if, not only has your skin decided to let you down, but it’s done so right before your big Christmas bash.

It can be all too easy to start to panic and resign yourself to the fact that you’re going to spend your entire party feeling self conscious over the state of your skin, although there are ways of banishing these blemishes more quickly and enjoying complete skin confidence whilst you party.

The first thing which you need to avoid at all costs is picking at blemishes, as although it might be tempting it’s likely to leave the condition looking a lot worse.

Instead, arm yourself with products which have been specially designed to help to speedily shift spots and blemishes- such as those in the Dermalogica MediBac Clearing System range.

The Dermalogica Special Clearing Booster is great for quickly giving blemishes the boot, whilst the Concealing Spot Treatment is the perfect product for hiding skin imperfections whilst you wait for them to disappear.

There are plenty more products in the MediBac Clearing System range which will also get your skin back on the right track just in time for your party.

We all know how important it is to moisturise properly, and we all know how failing to moisturise or using an unsuitable product can leave skin looking worse for wear pretty quickly.

However, whilst it’s essential that skin receives adequate hydration on a daily basis, this should by no means equate to your skin looking greasy.

Nobody is disputing that really rich oil-based moisturisers can be extremely beneficial, although if your skin is already a little on the excessively oily side, you could find yourself facing a constant battle against greasiness and constantly reaching for the oil blotting sheets.

There’s no reason why you should have to put up with this though, as there are many non-oil based moisturisers on the market which can effectively hydrate skin without causing something of a miniature oil slick.

One such moisturiser is Dermalogica Active Moist, which is the perfect product for those who are tired of spending their time and energy on dealing with the excess oil which some ultra rich moisturisers result in.

Dermalogica Active Moist speedily sinks into the skin without trace, and immediately gets to work on hydrating skin- leaving it silky smooth and super soft.

So, why spend half of your wage on oil blotting sheets when you can simply reach for this fab product?!

When a breakout decides to strike, clearing it up as quickly as possible can take over your whole life and it’s little surprise really, as spots and blemishes can really give confidence a knock.

A good concealer can go a long way in minimising the appearance of a breakout and ultimately minimising its effect on your confidence, and there are many good skin boosters and moisturisers which can help to clear up the condition.

You don’t have to confine your breakout battle to the daytime though, and you can also help to give them the push when you’re sleeping.

The term beauty sleep has never been so apt, as by investing in an effective product which is designed to get to work on restoring skin to its beautiful best whilst you’re in the land of nod, your breakout will be a thing of the past in no time at all.

Dermalogica Overnight Clearing Gel is amazing at getting to work on clearing skin when you’re snoozing, and simultaneously soothes irritation, helps to halt overactive sebaceous glands, gets rid of dead skin cells and slows down the production of the bacteria which can result in acne. So, as well as clearing existing breakouts, you can also reduce the risk of waking up with a new one.

Enjoy getting under the duvet is even more enjoyable when you know that you can rise and shine with clearer looking skin.

Unless you’ve spent a large proportion of your life living on another planet, you are bound to know just how much of a no-no it is to cleanse the face using soap.

It might have been acceptable for your parents to give your face a quick scrub with soap and a flannel during your childhood, but if you want your skin to look and feel its best throughout adulthood, you really do need to steer clear.

The thing about using your average beauty soap to cleanse the skin is that they are generally far too harsh and are usually full of skin sapping ingredients. This can result in skin looking and feeling dry and tight, and at the other end of the spectrum can also leave skin overly greasy.

There’s no reason why you have to risk ruining the condition of your complexion with soap though, as there are a lots of great facial cleansers around which are just as readily available.

Dermalogica boasts a great range of cleansers for all skin types, so whether your skin falls into the ‘normal’, dry, prematurely aging, sensitive, breakout prone or uneven category, there’s a product out there for you- so there’s no excuse for scrubbing with the soap.
