Although genetics can play a part, there are a number of other factors which can result in very sensitive skin- including illness, the use of unsuitable cosmetics and skin care products, extreme climatic conditions and an unhealthy diet.

Sensitive skin can, quite literally, be a pain, and a great deal of care needs to be taken not to irritate the condition.

Thankfully, there are lots of skin care products on the market which can help to protect and soothe sensitive skin, and as you can also purchase cosmetics which won’t irritate sensitive skin, you needn’t worry about having to step out of the house flaunting a completely bare-faced look.

When it comes to the best range of products for sensitive skin, they don’t come much better than Dermalogica’s offerings- and the Barrier Repair product is one which those which those with environmentally sensitised skin simply can’t afford to pass by.

Used as part of your everyday skin care regime, Dermalogica Barrier Repair soaks effortlessly into the skin and immediately gets to work on repairing existing damage whilst protecting against possible further contributions to the condition.

Even the most parched of environmentally sensitised of skin is left feeling nourished through the use of Dermalogica Barrier Repair, so you can swiftly replace sore with smooth.

Those whose skin is prone to excess oil production can feel that, no matter hard they try, they can never seem to achieve that squeaky clean feel.

As with every skin type, ensuring that you’re using a cleanser which cleanses effectively, yet which doesn’t strip the skin of essential oils is vital, and will go a long way in skin looking and feeling its very best.

One mistake which many people with oily skin make is using a product which is far too harsh, and which not only gets rid of surface oils but which also strips skin of those oils which are essential.

You don’t have to sacrifice the suppleness of skin though, as there are some great cleansers which can strike the right balance between removing excess oil and retaining essential oils which are key in keeping skin hydrated.

Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser is a must-have product for those who have skin with excess oil production, as it cleanses, soothes and refines skin effortlessly and effectively.

Used in combination with a suitable toner and moisturiser, Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser will go a long way in clearing excess oil and keeping shiny looking skin at bay, whilst simultaneously helping to reduce the chances of a breakout adding to skin woes.

Many people feel confused about how they need to look after their skin at the best of times, and changing seasons can present even more of a problem.

Looking after the skin when the temperatures take a turn for the worse doesn’t have to feel like a huge chore though, as provided you make the effort to avoid a few common skin care crimes, your skin will look stunning throughout autumn, winter and beyond.

Here are two of the most common mistakes which many people make, and how you can avoid making them yourself…

Poor quality moisturiser

Using a moisturiser which doesn’t nourish skin and protect it from cold climatic conditions could leave it looking dry and (quite literally) weathered very quickly. You can avoid succumbing to this yourself by investing a moisturiser which is designed for your skin type, intensely nourishes but doesn’t leave a greasy residue- such as Dermalogica Moisturisers.

Skipping sun protection

Whilst most people make the effort to protect skin from the sun during the warmer months, the moment the temperatures start to fall, sun protection is often sidelined. The sun’s rays can still damage skin when it’s not shining brightly and warmly though, so invest in a moisturiser, booster or foundation with SPF protection- again, Dermalogica can help you with these too.

Don’t be a skin sinner this autumn- make the effort to protect yours properly.

Nobody wants to suffer with premature skin aging, although there are several factors which can quickly contribute to it.

A large proportion of us lead a hectic lifestyle, and this can lead to some people neglecting their skin care regime or following one which just isn’t adequate.

A poor skin care regime is one of the major causes of premature skin aging, although it is one cause which can be easily avoided provided that you’re using the right products and using them properly.

Cleansing, toning and moisturising is the order of the day (and night), and will go a long way in keeping skin looking fresh and youthful for as long as possible.

However, heading for your local High Street and picking up any old products simply won’t suffice, and you need to make sure that you invest in products for your specific skin type.

Using a cleanser and toner which are too harsh could strip your skin of essential oils- leaving it looking and feeling dry and undernourished.

You also need to make sure that your moisturiser adequately nourishes skin, as a product which doesn’t provide this could quickly contribute to skin which looks old before its time.

Keeping premature skin aging at arm’s length doesn’t have to be tricky though- you just need to put in the time and effort, and make use of the many great Dermalogica Products for Drier or Prematurely Aging Skin.

By now, everybody should know that cleansing, toning and moisturising morning and night are all extremely essential, although these aren’t the be all and end all of looking after skin.

One other very important part of any skin care regime is exfoliation, although it’s surprising just how many people fail to realise just how essential it actually is.

Taking the time and making the effort to regularly exfoliate skin can have many unbeatable benefits though, some of which are detailed below…

Smoother skin

Prepare to be amazed at just how much smoother your skin will feel after regular exfoliation, as dead and dry skin is gently buffed away.

Brighter skin

As a good exfoliant will get rid of dead skin cells without being overly harsh, your skin will be left looking much brighter and healthier- which can make a huge difference to its overall appearance.

Encourages cell renewal

Regular exfoliation will not only get rid of dull, dead skin cells but will also help to speed up the cell renewal process- which will result in skin which feels far more supple.

Enhanced hydration

By investing in a good exfoliant, you could get more from your moisturiser and experience enhanced hydration, as dead skin cells will no longer be acting as a barrier.

Now you know just how important regular exfoliation is, you should make the effort to invest in a Dermalogica Exfoliant which will allow you to experience all of the above benefits to their fullest.
