With so many people leading increasingly busy lifestyles, some things inevitably have to take a back seat. Unfortunately, one of these things is often the skin care regime, and neglecting skin for even a short period of time can quickly lead to lasting negative effects.

Even if you’re rushed off your feet 24/7, it’s still important to make time for your skin, and following a proper skin care regime doesn’t have to be time-consuming. There are a few key steps that you can follow in order to ensure that your skin still looks fantastic even during the most hectic of days.

Quick cleansing

Under no circumstances should you skip cleansing- doing so will result spots and blemishes appearing at lightning speed. Cleansing doesn’t have to eat up those precious minutes, and a foaming cleanser like Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel will have your skin squeaky clean quick-sharp!

Don’t miss moisturiser

Unless you fancy being graced with premature signs of skin aging, it’s never wise to skip moisturiser. Instead, when you’re pressed for time, choose a moisturiser that absorbs quickly, like Dermalogica Active Moist.

Masque it

When you find yourself with a few spare minutes, give your skin an extra dose of TLC with a Dermalogica Masque. This will really help to counteract any previous neglect.

Keeping your skin in tip-top condition doesn’t have to be time-consuming- even when you barely have time to think!

Most women love wearing eye makeup, as it can really transform your look and help to really bring out the eyes. Whether it’s a touch of sheer shimmer for the office, or dramatic dark smoky eyes for an evening out, the eye makeup that you choose can also really help to enhance an outfit.

Although you may have mastered the art of applying your makeup, it’s sometimes difficult to make it stay in place- especially if you are in a particularly humid environment.

When using eyeshadow, many women also complain of the ‘creased’ looked that can develop after only a short amount of wear. However, you’ll be pleased to know that there are some very simple ways of ensuring that your eye makeup stays in place for longer and stays looking stunning.

We all know the importance of keeping the skin hydrated and moisturised- and this is particularly important for the eye area. As it is so delicate, without proper hydration, the skin around the eyes will start to look and feel dry very quickly, and those dreaded fine lines may start to appear with a vengeance!

Apply a product such as Dermalogica Total Eye Care before putting on your makeup. This fantastic formula helps to moisturise and smooth skin- which will help to stop eye makeup from creasing and looking dry.

When taking your makeup off, make sure that you don’t scrub the area, and use a gentle but effective product such as Dermalogica Soothing Eye Makeup Remover.

Give your peepers a little pick me up and flutter those eyelashes with confidence!

There’s never any time like the present to start really looking after your skin, and all it takes is a small amount of time and a small amount of effort.

The skin on your face is constantly exposed to damaging factors such as the sun’s rays, harsh weather conditions and general pollutants on a daily basis. This is why it’s imperative that you take steps to protect and nourish it as best as you can.

Your skin is often a reflection of what is happening on the inside of your body, so make sure that you drink plenty of water throughout the day and eat as healthily as possible. A diet that largely consists of junk food and is low in nutrients is certainly not the best way of ensuring that your complexion is clear.

No matter how tired you are, it’s important to cleanse your skin before bed so that it has the chance to breathe. Leaving makeup on and not cleansing skin before sleeping is a fast route to spots and blemishes.
After cleansing your skin at night, make sure that you get at least 8 hours sleep (although some people need slightly more or less). This will help to prevent bags and dark circles.

Dermalogica have a fantastic range of products for all skin types which can work wonders in improving the look and feel of skin.

Just by following these small steps, your skin will gain a new lease of life.

Day after day we are presented with photos of celebrities with flawless looking skin, which can leave even the most confident of us feel distinctly average. One thing that keeps us going though, is the fact that these celebrities have the best makeup artists in the world, and their photos are also commonly subjected to some rather heavy handed air brushing.

However, this doesn’t mean that we can’t take steps to achieve A-list worthy skin in the comfort of our own homes.

Hydrate yourself

It’s essential that you drink water throughout the day to keep your entire body hydrated. Drinking plenty of water will not only have a positive effect on your health, it will also help to keep your skin looking its best.

Eat healthily

It’s true that what goes in to your body can have an impact on how it looks on the outside, so if your diet consists of junk food and fizzy drinks you can’t expect your skin to look its absolute best!

Look at your skincare regime

Your skincare regime is a major factor in the way that your skin looks, and if you want skin that wouldn’t look out of place on the red carpet you need to take a long hard look at the products that you’re using. Regularly using the wrong kind of products for your skin type can have a negative impact on your skin, and make it look dull or greasy.

If you’re unsure of what products you should be using, Dermalogica have a fantastic range which are specially tailored for different skin types, which will get your skin looking A-list in no time at all!

Over the past couple of months, unless you’ve had the luxury of flying off to sunnier climes, you are likely to have felt the wrath of the bitterly cold conditions.

As snow and ice coated the country, it wasn’t just our balance that we needed to worry about, as plunging temperatures played absolute havoc with our skin.

Sub zero temperatures and harsh winds are prime culprits in making our skin look a little worse for wear, although the good news is that it’s easy to perk your skin up and get it looking back to its best, just by giving it a little TLC.

Your main weapon in the fight against the elements is a good quality moisturiser. Although a light moisturiser may be suitable during the summer months, in the winter your skin has completely different needs.

Skin care specialists Dermalogica have some of the most effective intensive moisturisers on the market, and their Barrier Repair moisturiser is the perfect solution for skin that has been ravaged by the ongoing cold snap.

Dermalogica Barrier Repair moisturiser creates a shield between the skin and the elements, in addition to repairing any existing damage, by intensely rehydrating the skin.

So, give your poor skin the attention that it deserves and breathe life back into your pores- just in time for spring.
