Failing to use a good moisturiser could leave your skin in very poor condition, so it’s one part of your skin care regime which you really do need to make sure you get right.

If you think about all of the elements, pollution and masses of dirt which your skin is exposed to on a daily basis, it’s easy to see how it can become dehydrated and parched very quickly. A good moisturiser can help to prevent this though.

It’s also very easy to see why so many people believe that they have to spend the absolute earth on a moisturiser- you only need to open your average glossy mag to be greeted by ads for celebrity endorsed ‘miracle moisturisers’.

This couldn’t be further from the truth though, as there are plenty of reasonably priced moisturisers around which can do the job just as well. Once you’ve determined your skin type and assessed your skin’s individual needs, you’re well on track to finding a suitable moisturiser at a suitable price.

The superb range of Dermalogica moisturisers provides clear proof that amazing moisturisers don’t have to come with sky-high price tags- and these products have a very impressive celebrity fan base themselves.

After a long day- whether it’s been spent shopping hard or working hard- your skin can feel really clogged and grimy- and when you consider what it will have been exposed to, this comes as no surprise really.

Wearing cosmetics for hours on end can also leave the skin feeling really clogged up, and however you’ve spent the best part of the day, one of the first things which you’ll want to do when you get home is give your skin a seriously thorough cleanse.

When your skin has been exposed to all sorts, you could feel as though you have to spend an absolute age lathering up and rinsing repeatedly. Not necessarily though, as there are now some super cleansers around which provide really deep yet really quick cleansing. Dermalogica’s brilliant range of cleansers falls firmly into this category.

The products within the Dermalogica range of cleansers have all been formulated so that they instantly get to work on cleansing deep down in the pores and therefore they don’t require multiple applications or require you to spend your precious time at the bathroom sink.

Quick cleansing CAN be efficient cleansing- and Dermalogica Cleansers clearly prove this.

One of the most common myths surrounding excessively oily skin is that it doesn’t need to be moisturised as often as any other skin type. This is just that though- A MYTH- and moisturising should be just as important a part of the skin care regime as it would be with any other skin type.

The problem with oily skin is that it’s often a problem which needs to be controlled throughout the duration of the day, so it’s easy to see why many people will try anything to keep it at arm’s length- even skipping what is one of the most essential parts of the skin care regime.

Whilst it’s true that you shouldn’t just use any old generic moisturiser on oily skin, this certainly doesn’t translate into not using a moisturiser altogether. Instead, you just need to invest in a moisturiser which has been designed specifically for the skin type.

As a general rule of thumb, oil-based moisturisers are a no-no for excessively oily skin, and it’s better to use an oil-free product like Dermalogica Active Moist.

Dermalogica Active Moist is a beautifully lightweight oil-free moisturiser which keeps oily skin sufficiently hydrated yet won’t promote even the slightest bit of shininess- perfect!

Men and women within many different age brackets can be blighted by excessively oily skin, and contrary to what some people think, it’s not just a condition which affects hormonal teenagers.

If your skin is firmly lodged in the excessively oily category, you could feel as though you spend far too large a proportion of your life on Oil Alert- i.e. attempting to keep excess oil and the shiny look which it brings at bay.

When you’re trying to live your life and concentrate on your career and socialising with friends, the last things which you’ll want to be doing are heading off to the bathroom with the cleanser YET AGAIN or applying YET ANOTHER layer of pressed powder.

This is why you should make it a priority to ensure that your cleanser, toner and moisturiser have all been designed to deal with excessively oily skin, and that you’re also using a good oil control product.

Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion is a staple part of the skin care regimes of many of those who suffer with excessively oily skin, as it really can help to keep skin looking matte and fresh all day/ night long- so you can stop feeling on high oil alert.

Moisturising forms one of the most important parts of any skin care regime, and it can make a real difference to the condition of your skin. And for this reason, you shouldn’t settle for anything less than second best.

There are thousands of different moisturisers around at the minute, so sifting through all of your options can feel as though it’s going to take a lot of time and perhaps a lot of money. When you’re faced with this situation, it can be easy to grab the first moisturiser you come across and hope for the best.

This isn’t the best plan of action, and should be avoided at all costs though, as using an unsuitable moisturiser just a handful of times could have a negative impact on the state of your skin.

So, rather than settling for second best, you need to invest in a moisturiser which could have been made for your skin- and Dermalogica has many of these.

Dermalogica has moisturisers suitable for many different skin types on offer, so whatever your skin’s needs, there’s no reason why you should need to settle for second best.
