Dermalogica Skincare Blog

A large proportion of the population’s women wear cosmetics on a daily basis, as good quality products can help to enhance your look and enhance your confidence no end.

However, whilst cleansing properly is absolutely essential when you don’t wear makeup, it’s even more vital when you do- otherwise you could risk your pores becoming blocked and risk an unwanted outbreak of spots.

Time and time again you are likely to have heard just how essential it is that you remove your makeup before going to bed, although this is because it can make all the difference to the look and condition of your skin.

As well as leaving you faced with spots and blemishes, sleeping in your makeup is also likely to leave your skin dull and dry- all of which are completely unwanted.

There are lots of fantastic Dermalogica cleansers available which are quick and effective to use though, so there’s no excuse for leaving makeup on overnight and waking up with skin which is a lot less than fresh. Dermalogica Cleansers are available for all skin types too, so the perfect products for you are within easy reach.

Regular exfoliation is a vital part of any skin care regime, and can make all the difference between a dull, dry complexion and one which glows with health.

One mistake which many people make when it comes to exfoliation though is failing to conduct the task on a regular basis, and only reaching for an exfoliant a couple of times a year. Those who use an overly harsh product are often the ones who come from this school of thought, as they believe that regular use will leave the skin sore.

This isn’t the case though, and provided you invest in quality products which are kind to skin, you can exfoliate on a really regular basis.

The frequency at which you exfoliate rests on several factors- with one of the most influential being your skin type and the current state of your skin.

For example, Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is a gentle yet effective product designed for all skin types and can be used on a daily basis to keep skin looking bright.

On the other hand, products such as Dermalogica Multivitamin Thermafoliant are ideal for skin which may need a little extra TLC, and are designed for use just a few times a week.

Assess your needs and exfoliate daily or a little less frequently- just don’t neglect it altogether.

Enjoying a long soak in the bath with a few luxury pampering products is a fantastic way of really relaxing and soothing those stresses away- particularly on a Friday night after a long and stressful week.

Hot water can really dry the skin out though, especially when you’re sat bathing in it for hours at a time, and this can leave skin feeling tight- even when that shrivelled skin effect has subsided.

Many bath products such as body washes and bubble baths might smell nice but are extremely drying and don’t leave the skin feeling nice either, so it’s extremely important to make sure that you make the effort to rehydrate the skin as soon as you’ve towelled off.

Getting out of the bath during the cold winter months isn’t the most pleasant of experiences, although you shouldn’t allow this to prevent you from moisturising thoroughly.

Moisturising doesn’t need to take a long time when you invest in a product which absorbs quickly- such as Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream, as you won’t find yourself standing around shivering when waiting for it to sink in.

Dermalogica Super Rich Repair delivers immediate benefits to chronically dry, dehydrated and prematurely-aging skin with this super-concentrated, heavy-weight cream. Powerful peptides stimulate collagen production while an acid-free renewal complex smoothes fine lines for dramatically improved elasticity and tone. Ultra-emollient Shea Butter and Oil of Evening Primrose replenish skin with maximum hydration, relieving dryness and reinforcing skin’s natural defensive barrier. Antioxidant Soy Flavonoids shield against the extreme environmental elements that can accelerate the visible signs of aging.

• Stimulates collagen and Hyaluronic Acid production to help repair prematurely-aging skin.
• Smoothes fine dryness lines and helps restore elasticity.
• Replenishes barrier lipids while moisturising skin.
• Soothes and insulates skin from extreme environmental elements while fighting inflammation.

Dermalogica Super Rich Repair is part of the Dermalogica AGE Smart System range of products and can be found in the Drier or Prematurely Ageing Skin section.

During the summer and when on holiday, most people don’t need to think twice about applying sunscreen before leaving the house, although as soon as the sun disappears and the temperatures drop, wrapping up warm rather than applying sun protection is top of the agenda.

However, even when the sun isn’t visible, it can have a very negative impact on the state of skin, and whilst you might not be susceptible to sunburn during the winter months you could still be looking at long term damage.

Sun exposure is one of the most common culprits in causing skin to age prematurely, and by failing to use a product with SPF every time you step out of the door, you’re putting yourself at risk of owning skin which looks far older than its years.

Unlike when you’re applying sunscreen to the entire body before you hit the beach, applying a product which protects the face doesn’t have to take an absolute age, and there are many skin care products out there which already contain SPF.

If you don’t fancy parting with your favourite foundation or moisturiser though, you don’t have to, as by adding Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster to the mix you can instantly enjoy SPF 30 protection and help to keep your skin looking youthful for as long as possible.
