When spots or blemishes appear, it can be all too easy to reach for the thickest foundation and concealer in a bid to cover them up and feel better about your skin.

However, unless you’re extremely careful, layering these products on the skin could actually make it look worse, and lead to any blemishes looking much more noticeable. The majority of standard foundations and concealers aren’t designed for those with blemish prone skin, and although they might cover skin up temporarily, many are highly oil-based, which could leave skin looking incredibly oily.

With temperatures still relatively warm in many areas of the UK, wearing a heavy base can feel a little uncomfortable and the heat can start to make it look less than its best in a very short space of time.

The natural look is always far more attractive than makeup which looks inches thick, and with Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment, you can embrace the natural look whilst effectively concealing blemishes and whilst also treating breakouts- which makes it a winner all round.

Unlike many other concealers, as Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment has a really light formulation, you won’t have to worry about skin feeling sticky and heavy by lunchtime.

Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment can help skin to look naturally stunning- and no one need know your little secret!

We are all well aware of the many negative effects of sun exposure, although the constant warnings and reports in the media seem to have fallen on deaf ears when it comes to some individuals.

Ensuring that your skin is adequately protected against UV rays is vital whatever the time of year, and it’s even more essential during the summer months and when you fly off on your summer holiday.

Although they realise its importance, many people are guilty of skipping sun protection as they feel that it can be tricky and time consuming to apply. This is certainly not a valid excuse though, and stepping out into the hot summer sun without adequate sunscreen can have painful and long lasting effects.

There are lots of really good sunscreen products on the market nowadays though, which are quick to apply and which won’t make a mess- and Dermalogica boast many of the best products in the business.

When it comes to quick and convenient sun protection, Dermalogica Solar Defence Wipes are perfect for those looking for sunscreen with a moderate SPF. These wipes are ideal for popping in your handbag or beach bag, and unlike bottled sunscreens, you won’t have to worry about them leaking and making a mess.

Don’t look for poor excuses for neglecting your skin in the sun- invest in Dermalogica Solar Defence Wipes.

Matte skin is something which we all want to achieve, and it goes a long way in making skin look a lot fresher.

For some though, achieving matte skin and keeping it looking that way throughout the day is easier said than done, especially for those whose skin is on the oily side.

If your skin falls into the oily category, there are several steps that you can take to keep excess oil at bay. Using makeup products such as foundation sparingly is always a good place to start, as is investing in oil blotting sheets for discreet touch ups during the day.

If your skin suffers with regular breakouts as well as excess oil production, you could definitely benefit from adding Dermalogica Clearing Mattifier to your skin care regime.

Unlike some of the inferior products which seem to be appearing on the market on a regular basis, Dermalogica Clearing Mattifier does exactly what it says on the tin- and there are scores of satisfied consumers who are all too happy to sing its praises.

This fab product helps to clear blemishes whilst controlling excess shine at the same time, which makes it a fantastic addition to any skin care regime not only during the summer months, but also during the rest of the year.

Show off your shine-free skin with supreme confidence this summer.

There is no better time of year to really take advantage of all of the fun sports on offer in the UK than during the summer. As we have enjoyed a pleasant summer so far, beaches up and down the UK have been packed full of sun seekers looking for a fun day out.

You don’t have to go abroad to participate in fun water sports, as activities such as water skiing, surfing, swimming and rowing can all be enjoyed without having to take a lengthy or expensive flight.

However, you shouldn’t let anything ruin your fun- especially sunburn. Many people make the mistake of using the same sun screen which they use when sunbathing whilst they’re participating in sports though- and this is likely to result in a serious case of sunburn.

Taking part in activities which involve water or which are particularly strenuous are likely to result in your sun screen wearing off- leaving you extremely susceptible to skin damage.

Investing in sun protection which is water resistant is the best way of avoiding this- a product such as Dermalogica Waterblock Solar Spray is ideal.

Applying Dermalogica Waterblock Solar Spray around 30 minutes before water exposure can provide you with up to 80 minutes of protection when skin comes into contact with water- making it perfect for those who really enjoy having fun in the sun.

Skin will remain looking stunning all day long- and you won’t need to deal with any sticky residue either.

When it comes to treating spots, it can be all too easy to get a little carried away and apply your chosen product to your entire face in a bid to blitz the blemishes. However, this is generally not the best course of action, and there is a possibility that it could lead to skin looking worse.

As they can have such an impact on your confidence, it’s a dead cert that you will want any blemish which appears to disappear as quickly as possible. Arming yourself with the correct skin care products is obviously one of the first and most important steps which you need to take, although in addition to this you also need to ensure that you know how to use the products properly.

When treating spots and blemishes, it’s often best to opt for a product which allows you to target just the areas which need treating. It may be all well and good choosing a strong product which claims to tackle skin problems quickly- but if you apply it to blemish-free skin, you could find yourself faced with further skin woes in the form of an adverse reaction.

However, through use of a product such as Dermalogica Special Clearing Booster, you can specifically target only areas of skin which need to be targeted. This booster helps to give blemishes the heave-ho by drying them out, and the risk of further breakouts is also reduced.

Don’t risk ruining healthy skin- target only troublesome areas with Dermalogica Special Clearing Booster.
