There’s nothing like the start of a new year to provide you with a nice fresh start- and, if you don’t feel as though you did your skin justice in 2011, why not make a fresh start with your skin care in 2012?

As so many of us are always so busy nowadays, and as there are so many different skin care products everywhere you turn, it’s pretty easy to understand why so many people can fall into the trap of not quite looking after their skin as well as they could do.

Making more of an effort with your skin care regime shouldn’t be too tough a New Year’s resolution to stick to, as you’ve found products which are suitable for your skin type, you’re already halfway there.
All you need to do then is promise yourself that you’ll use products properly and regularly.

With Dermalogica products, it should be super simple to stick to your New Year’s resolution, as there are tonnes of fantastic products to suit different skin types and they’re quick and easy to use.

Make 2012 the year that your skin care takes a turn for the better.

As there are several factors which can lead to skin becoming incredibly dry, it can be all too easy to succumb to. And, as we’re in the firm grip of yet another cold winter, and as bitterly cold weather is one of the main causes of very dry skin, it’s no surprise that there are many people currently suffering.

With skin care products now as amazing as they’ve ever been though, there’s no need to sit and suffer with dry skin, as by arming yourself with the right products, you could see the back of dryness in no time at all.

There are many amazing moisturisers around at the moment which are fantastic at eliminating dehydration, although moisturisers needn’t be your only weapon, as masques can also get skin back to its best.

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Masque is a must-have product for any individual suffering with very dry skin, as its powerful skin conditioning properties enable it to start to repair skin after just one application.

As well as eliminating the awful ‘tight’ feeling which often comes with very parched skin, Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Masque also helps to eliminate the visible signs.

Masque dry skin and reveal a stunning conditioned complexion.

Excessively oily skin can sometimes feel like an absolute nightmare to deal with, although it will only feel this way if you’re using the wrong type of products.

As there are so many different types of skin care products about nowadays, it can be all too easy to get caught in the trap of using unsuitable skin care products. Unfortunately though, using the wrong type of products could make the problem of excess oil even worse.

One product which a good number of people struggle to get right is moisturiser- especially those who are concerned about premature skin aging or falling to dry patches.

Many people wrongly think that the only way to keep skin supple is to use a rich oil-based moisturiser. This isn’t the case though, and for those with excessively oily skin, using a moisturiser which contains oil can make things 10 times worse.

Instead, it’s best to reach for an oil-free moisturiser such as Dermalogica Active Moist.

Dermalogica Active Moist is able to effectively nourish the skin without the need for any oil at all, and will help to keep excess oil under control rather than adding to it.

Dermalogica Skin Kit – Oily – Updated! Deep clean oily skin with Dermal Clay Cleanser, formulated with Kaolin and Green Clays to purify and remove excess oil. Spritz on critical hydration with Multi-Active Toner, with Aloe and Balm Mint to soothe the skin. Eliminate shine for hours with Oil Control Lotion’s exclusive oil-absorbing Microsponge technology. Skin Prep Scrub removes dulling debris, leaving skin with a smooth healthy finish.

As with all Dermalogica Skin Kits it’s the perfect way to try a product range without having a large initial expence and they are great for holidays without the worry of adding too much weight to your case.

When spots appear, it’s a certainty that you’ll want them to disappear again as quickly as possible- especially if spots have also brought shine along for the ride.

Fortunately though, you don’t need to be patient when it comes to controlling the shine which often comes hand in hand with spots, as there are products which can immediately eliminate this issue.
