Many people in their twenties and thirties think that they’re far too young to be thinking about premature skin ageing, although this couldn’t be further from the truth.

If you start to look after your skin now, it will be in far better condition in years to come- plus, prevention is always far more effective than cure.

If you don’t want to find yourself in the botox clinic well before your time, give your skin a little TLC now and save time, effort and money in a few years time!

In order to stand your skin in good stead, it’s vital to follow a proper skin care regime- this means cleansing, toning and moisturising every morning and night WITHOUT fail! This will set you on the right track to combating the premature signs of aging.

In addition to your daily skin care regime, it’s also a good idea to exfoliate regularly, in order to shift stubborn dead skin cells which can make your skin look old before its time.

Dermalogica have a simply unbeatable range of skin care products that will help you in your quest to fight off those fine lines- which is why Dermalogica has top celebs all over the world singing it’s praises!

It’s not just us mere mortals that can become victim to annoying spots and blemishes, they can even affect A-list stars- as singer Katy Perry revealed.

Katy, of ‘I Kissed a Girl’ fame, recently told how she faced a battle with blemishes, which left her confidence in tatters.

Katy’s condition was so bad that facing the world was a task in itself, and she explained:

“I just wanted to hide. It was an amazing blessing to have clear skin.”

Katy, who is set to get hitched to comedian Russell Brand later this year, has recently been signed up to promote skin care- showing that skin problems can ultimately be overcome.

If, like Katy, you regularly suffer from spots or blemishes, in addition to assessing whether there is an underlying condition, it’s also important to religiously follow a good skin care regime.

Dermalogica have a great range of products which can treat spot and blemish prone skin, and they are key components in achieving a clear complexion.

Whether or not you’re a fan of Katy’s music, you can certainly take comfort in the fact that there is light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to overcoming pesky skin problems.

Despite their hardest efforts, many people are still following an unsuitable skincare regime without even realising it. It’s not just about cleansing, toning and moisturising- you need to make sure that you’re doing all of this with the right products.

Skin falls into several different categories- from ‘normal’, to combination, to dry- so you must make sure that the skin care products that you’re using are designed for your specific skin type.

There are a number of tell-tale signs that could point to your skin care regime being unsuitable, and luckily, if you make the effort to switch to more suitable products quickly, it’s unlikely that you will have caused any irreversible long-term damage.

If your skin feels dry and tight after cleansing, your cleanser may be far too harsh for your skin. Thorough cleansing isn’t supposed to make your skin feel this way. It should feel fresh and revitalised- rather than rough and dehydrated.

If you suffer from excessive oiliness after moisturising, it could be that the moisturiser which you are using is too heavy for your skin. Switching to a lighter moisturiser, such as Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion, can still effectively hydrate skin without being greasy.

If you are regularly greeted by spots and blemishes, the products which you’re using could be blocking your pores- so take a look at your entire skin care regime and see if you can determine where the problem may be.

Give your skin care regime a health-check and make sure that your skin is getting the best care possible.

If you’re lucky enough to be flying off to warmer shores this summer, it’s a dead cert that you won’t want to step off the plane home suspiciously resembling a lobster!

When you’re on holiday, it’s all too easy to get carried away with the sunbathing and neglect to use an adequate SPF- especially when the end of your break is nigh and you don’t feel as though your tan is up to scratch.

No tan is worth risking potentially permanent skin damage for though, which is why you need to pop sufficient sun protection in your suitcase- and use it.

Sun protection should be applied before you even put one foot out of your hotel door, and if you’re planning on spending much of the day outside, it’s always a good idea to put it in your beach bag so you can reapply it when necessary.

Even if you’re not planning on spending your entire break sunbathing, you can still fall victim to sunburn when you’re out and about on sightseeing trips, which makes an adequate SPF essential whatever you plan on doing.

The Dermalogica Solar Defence System consists of a fantastic range of sun protection products, some of which stay put even after a dip in the pool- so there really is no excuse for arriving home looking red-faced!

It might be 2010, but some men STILL refuse to pay adequate attention to their skin- for fear of being ridiculed by their mates in the pub!

However, the ‘metrosexual’ man knows just how important a proper skin care regime is- which is why more and more women are finding it increasingly difficult to get into the bathroom in the morning! However annoying this may be, it’s most definitely a good thing in the long run, and your fella will stay looking hunky years to come!

If your other half is more likely to wash ‘n’ go with any bar of soap that happens to be lying around, you definitely need to help to guide him along the right track.

Getting your man to follow a good skin care routine needn’t be a massive struggle though, and with a little gentle guidance and a little helping and from Dermalogica, he’ll love looking after his skin in no time at all.

Dermalogica’s fantastic Shave System line is great for all skin types, and boasts an unbeatable range of pre and post-shave products.

Why not treat your man to the Dermalogica Shave System Kit- the perfect way to kick-start that skin care.
