Harsh cleansers can do more harm than good

Most of us are well aware of the fact that cleansing is one of the most important parts of any daily skin care regime. With so many different cleansers up for grabs at the moment though, it can be all too easy to fall into the trap of using a cleanser which simply isn’t suitable for the skin.

At the end of a long day, skin can feel unbelievably grimy- whether or not you’ve been wearing cosmetic or other skins products, and when skin feels this way, getting rid of every last trace of dirt and grime and preventing skin from succumbing to spots will be the order of the evening. And many people believe that they need to use a ‘super strong’ cleanser in order to achieve this.

Using a really harsh cleanser could actually do more harm than good though- potentially leaving skin seriously dehydrated, sore and looking far older than its years- things which we all want to avoid.

Skin doesn’t need to feel as though it’s been stripped of a layer in order to feel properly cleansed though- and there are many Dermalogica Cleansers which prove this point.

Getting skin back to its supple best

Skin feeling a little on the dry or dehydrated side? Do you want to get it back to its beautiful best as quickly and as painlessly as possible? If so (and of course you do) the good news is that it shouldn’t be too difficult a task, as skin care products are now as good as they’ve ever been.

When you feel as though your skin looks dry and tight, it can be very hard to feel your confident best and it can be very hard to think about much else. There’s no need for anyone to put up with seriously dry skin for any longer than they have to though, and one of the first products which should be reached for is a good, intensely hydrating moisturiser.

Attempting to get skin back to its supple best using any old moisturiser isn’t likely to produce the best or the quickest results, and instead you need to opt for a product like Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance.

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance quickly and intensely rehydrates skin- leaving it looking and feeling more supple and much softer- skin will be back to its very best in no time at all.

What products are best for rehydrating skin?

Dry skin is a very common problem which those in many different age brackets and from all walks of life can find themselves having to put up with. As there are so many great skin care products out there at the moment though, there is no valid reason why any sufferer should have to put up with it.

The key to injecting hydration into dehydrated skin is investing in the right products and using them properly. With so many different types of products on offer though, it can sometimes be difficult to determine which products to use for the best.

When skin is very dehydrated though, you should ensure that EVERY skin care product which is being used has been specifically designed to tackle dry skin. These include:

Cleanser- a gentle, moisturising cleanser which doesn’t strip skin further should be used.
Moisturiser- a heavy weight moisturiser which can saturate skin with hydration is a must.
Masque- there are now many face masques out there which can really restore the state of very dry skin.

Dermalogica has a superb range of products which have been designed to treat and protect very dehydrated skin, and it’s well worth investing in a few of them.

Finding sun protection at the start of spring

At the height of summer, you can’t move for sun lotions, although at the start of spring, finding products to protect the skin from the sun’s harmful rays can be extremely difficult, as during this time of year, there isn’t usually a huge amount of demand for such products.

However, if you’re lucky enough to be heading off on holiday to sunnier climes, sun protection will be at the top of your holiday shopping. After all, you’ll want to enjoy it as much as possible as opposed to finding yourself in agony or looking like a lobster on your holiday snaps.

If you don’t have much luck with finding sun protection products in the shops, all definitely isn’t lost, as you’ll have more than enough choice when you look on the internet.

When looking for your sun protection products, bear in mind that you may need different products for the face and body, and that if you enjoy swimming in water sports, you will need a waterproof product.

For all of your skin sun protection needs, look to the Dermalogica Solar Defence range- there are plenty of products which will enable you to safely enjoy your holiday.
