Although you’ve probably had the importance of an effective skincare regime drummed into your mind for as long as you care to remember now, you still might be a little confused about what your skin care regime should consist of.

An effective skin care regime should generally include cleansing, toning and moisturising, although your skin may have its own further individual needs.

Using a good cleanser morning and night is essential in getting rid of the dirt and oil which can quickly accumulate on the skin, and is vital is keeping pores clean and keeping spots at bay.

Once cleansing is complete, the use of a toner is next on the list. Some people skip toner as they’re unsure about its relevance, although a good toner will help to refresh and hydrate your skin and also help in the absorption of moisturiser.

In order to rehydrate skin and keep it feeling supple and looking fresh, you need to make sure that you invest in an effective moisturiser. Whether your skin is on the dry side, or is prone to excessive oiliness, moisturiser shouldn’t be skipped. Regularly neglecting the use of a moisturiser can lead to skin aging prematurely- which isn’t anyone’s idea of a good look.

If you regularly suffer with blemishes or other skin conditions such as excessive oil production, there are many other great products- such as boosters- which can keep skin in amazing condition.

Dermalogica has a great range of products which cater for all skin types and which can help you to create the perfect skin care regime.

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!

We’ve said it a thousand times before, and there’s no doubt that we’ll say it a thousand times again- the importance of cleansing, toning and moisturising morning and night is absolutely vital. Whatever your age and skin type, making sure you follow a strict skin care regime is imperative in keeping your skin looking its best for as long as possible.

If you start to neglect your skin care regime, you can rest assured that it won’t be long before your skin starts to suffer. Not only are you leaving yourself susceptible to spots and blemishes, you are also putting your skin at risk from showing premature signs of ageing.

When it comes to their skin care regime, some people attempt a half- hearted job and just opt to cleanse or moisturise. This is not sufficient though, and toning is also very important.

Many people are confused about the significance of toning, and are not sure of the part that it plays. After cleansing, the skin can be stripped of essential moisture- leaving skin feeling a little taut. This is where using a toner, such as the fantastic Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner can help. The toner rehydrates the skin, leaving it feeling more refreshed, and also provides the perfect base for moisturiser- allowing it to work to its full potential.

Dermalogica cleansers, toners and moisturisers work in perfect harmony with each other, and you’ll be surprised at just how much of a positive difference toning can have.

Those who regularly suffer from blemishes and breakouts will understand just how annoying it can be to go to bed with smooth, clear skin, only to rise just a matter of hours later to be greeted by an unwanted visitor.

Spots and blemishes appearing overnight are a common occurrence, and a number of factors can contribute to this. Even if you are blessed with clear skin the majority of time, stress, tiredness and the occasional blocked pore can lead to skin looking a little less than fresh.

This is why it’s important that you use a suitable cleanser at all times- even if you’ve been lucky enough to escape any blemishes for as long as you can remember. Spots and blemishes aren’t particularly fussy as to who they target, and whatever your skin type is you still need to ensure that you keep skin as meticulously clean as possible.

Although you can start to treat any unwelcome additions to your skin from the moment you rise, there are also some great products around that can work their magic whilst you snooze.

One of the best overnight treatments for skin is Dermalogica Overnight Clearing Gel, which is specially formulated to target existing breakouts whilst keeping pores as clear as possible in the process.

Beat blemishes at bedtime and wake up to renewed skin confidence.

It seems that the weather STILL hasn’t made up its mind, with sunny spring days mixed with bitterly cold winds a common occurrence.

Whilst we are still in the early days of spring, not only is the weather confusing as far as our wardrobes are concerned, it can also be tricky to determine what’s best for our skin.

However, although there are some aspects of our skin care regimes that need adjusting as the seasons change, there are other steps that you need to follow all year round.

SPF

Even on the cloudiest of days, the suns rays can still have a damaging effect, which is why it’s important that your daily moisturiser contains a substantial SPF. You could always opt for a primer or face block which contains an SPF if your favourite moisturiser doesn’t.

Cleanse, tone, moisturise

It doesn’t matter how the weather is behaving- cleansing, toning and moisturising is still imperative and is key in keeping your skin looking its best all year round. Dermalogica have a fantastic range of products which cover all three areas.

Rehydrate at night

Whatever the weather, make sure that you invest in a good, rich cream for use at night, as this is when skin is given the chance to refresh and repair.

So, come rain or shine, there really is no excuse for neglecting your skin care regime!
