For those who suffer from spots during their teenage years, the state of their skin can be a real source of distress. Unfortunately, many products aimed at spot-prone teenage skin are simply too harsh, and strip the skin of their natural oils. This can leave the skin fragile and vulnerable to further irritation as well as actually stimulating sebum production!

It is essential for those suffering from spots to implement a gentle and effective skin regime. The Dermalogica Clean Start range of skincare products has been formulated to remove bacteria and impurities without stripping the skin and drying it out. It offers a complete regimen from the cleanser to a lotion designed to control breakouts and keep the skin matte, and allows teenagers to tackle their skin problems without risking damage.

It may be difficult to remember to be kind to spot-prone skin, but it most certainly pays off. If you suffer from spots, make sure you always wash your hands thoroughly before applying products or touching your face. Avoid the temptation to squeeze or pick spots: you could quite easily cause the pore to rupture and force infected tissue deeper into the skin, thus increasing your chances of scarring.

Gentle and appropriate products combined with the above precautions will help your skin to fight the breakouts and rediscover your confidence!

Travelling may be fun but it can take its toll on our skin… Plane travel means exposing your complexion to a very dry atmosphere for hours on end, causing the skin to dehydrate. Extremes of temperature can also wreak havoc, leaving the complexion flushed and irritated.

So, while it can’t carry your bags or rub sun cream onto your back, Dermalogica Antioxidant HydraMist may prove to be your skin’s best friend the next time you go travelling, and this is why:

• It creates an active anti-oxidant shield for your skin in order to protect it from the effects of damaging free radicals (which can be created by radiation, pollution, cigarette smoke etc.).

• It has an instant tightening and lifting effect on the skin, combatting those signs of tiredness and fatigue.

• It intensely hydrates the skin as well as soothing and refreshing the complexion.

It can be used as part of your daily skin care regime, or applied during the day, even if you are wearing make-up. This makes it the ideal pick-me-up for your skin, wherever you are. The spray is also available in a travel size which is perfect for taking on the plane or carrying around in your handbag!

When faced with our typical British weather, it can be easy to forget just how important it is to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun’s rays. And yet, if you stop to think about it, your complexion is constantly being exposed to UV rays: your journey to work, lunch times spent outside the office, travelling home again; even if you are not soaking up the rays on purpose your skin is still vulnerable.

UV rays have a detrimental effect on collagen production, resulting in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also impacts on melanin production and repeated exposure combined with the ageing process can leave hyper pigmented patches of skin, also known as age or liver spots. The overall effect? Skin that looks prematurely aged.

Luckily, using the right kind of skin products can help to protect your skin from the damaging rays. It is essential to incorporate sun protection into your daily skincare routine. Products such as Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery offer a Sun Protection Factor of 30, thus effectively protecting your skin while ensuring it remains hydrated and nourished at the same time.

We have all heard the saying ‘Prevention is better than cure’, and when it comes to your skin, it couldn’t be more appropriate. Don’t underestimate the accumulative effects of daily exposure to the sun, and make sure you choose the right skincare products that will ensure your skin looks and feels fantastic!

Skin cleansing products really have come on leaps and bounds over the years, and there’s a huge amount of choice around at the moment.

Long gone are the days when there was little choice other than settling for a generic cleanser- there’s now plenty to suit every skin type.

In the past, those with excessively oily skin often found that they faced problems with finding a suitable moisturiser, as many cleansers could make the situation worse.

Cleansing should eliminate any impurities on excessively oily skin, although just a very short time after use, oily skin could become even more so when cleansed with a product which wasn’t designed for the skin type.

Things have now changed though, and they’ve certainly changed for the better, as there are now some super cleansers which are suitable for oily skin out there.

Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser is fantastic for cleansing excessively oily skin, as it offers deep cleansing which eliminates impurities and excess oil- leaving it feeling cleansed and refreshed.

The Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser also helps to soothe irritation and refine the texture of the skin, whilst also helping to minimise the risk of a future breakout appearing.

With the Dermal Clay Cleanser, thoroughly cleansing excessively oily skin couldn’t be easier.
