X Factor 2008 winner Alexandra Burke has let one of her top skin secrets slip- Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel.

In a recent interview, fellow X Factor contestant Ruth Lorenzo revealed that since Alexandra recommended the product to her, she hasn’t looked back, and Ruth now joins an increasingly long line of celeb faces who swear by Dermalogica products.

Alexandra is never seen without flawless skin, and those who thought that she may have had more than a helping hand with the airbrush may have to think again, as it appears that the key to stunning celebrity is a little more accessible.

Ruth, who is also close pals with her X-Factor mentor Dannii Minogue, spoke of her struggle to keep her skin squeaky clean after days of wearing heavy makeup for photo shoots and public appearances, and converted to Dermalogica on the wise advice of Alexandra.

Ruth enthused:

“The best product for my skin is Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel. It leaves my skin feeling so clean – Alexandra Burke got me hooked on it. I often have to wear so much make-up during the day, this is the only cleanser that makes me feel like it’s all come off.”

If it’s good enough for X-Factor’s finest, it’s definitely good enough for us!

Most people are prone to the odd spot or blemish every now and again, and it’s amazing how even just a small spot can make a huge dent in your confidence.

Using a concealing product on your skin can help to restore your confidence and the flawless look of your skin though, although you need to ensure that the product which you choose doesn’t contribute to blemishes looking more noticeable.

Whilst there are many concealing products on the market these days, many of them consist of a thick and heavy formulation, and this can not only look very indiscreet, but can also clog pores further.

A good concealing product will allow you to conceal spots effortlessly without the need to apply layer upon layer, and will also help to give blemishes the heave-ho.

Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment is the perfect solution for those looking to disguise blemishes without having to flaunt the caked on look, and with a fantastic combination of ingredients including Sulfur, Zinc Oxide and Salicylic Acid, breakouts can be dried out in record time.

Conceal spots quickly, easily and inconspicuously with Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment.

Whilst cleansing, toning and moisturising goes a long way in providing you with an effective skincare regime, there are a number of other small ways in which you can improve your efforts even further.

When it comes to modern skincare products, you really are spoilt for choice, as there is an abundance of great products on the market at the moment- with Dermalogica products being some of the most popular.

Cleansing, toning and moisturising all play a huge part in keeping your skin looking its very best, although ensuring that you moisturise morning and night will help to keep skin supple and keep the premature signs of skin aging at bay.

However happy you are with your moisturiser, you can boost its performance even further through the use of a specialist product such as Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub.

Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub not only functions as an exfoliant, but also prepares the skin for the application of moisturiser. This great product enables skin to fully absorb your choice of Dermalogica Moisturiser, which will help to keep it properly hydrated all day long.

As the skin around the eyes is extremely delicate, it often doesn’t take much for it to start looking dull and tired.

There are several factors which can contribute to the condition of the skin around the eyes deteriorating- with prime culprits being lack of sleep, stress and sun exposure.

You don’t have to tolerate the skin around your eyes looking tired though, and once you have identified the cause of the condition, you can get to work on rectifying it.

When you’re looking to really revitalise the skin around the eyes, you also need to invest in a product which is effective in minimising dryness and the look of fine lines and wrinkles- and one product which has shown to be highly effective in achieving this is Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair.

Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair is a super nourishing cream which really rehydrates and soothes stressed skin in order to get it looking back to its very best.

A fab combination of cucumber, butcherbroom, arnica, wild yam extract, grape seed extract, Pro-Vitamin B5 and vitamins A, C and E will help to breathe much needed life back into such a delicate area.

Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair will give eyes the ultimate wake up call.
