Even if you are happy with the performance of your current moisturiser, it may not be serving you as well as you actually think it is.

Skin needs to be protected all day long, all year round, and this is even more imperative when you already have sensitive or damaged skin.

There are many things that can have an effect on skin every day- without you even realising it. Environmental factors are one of the biggest causes of skin damage to skin, and if you don’t take steps to protect it now you could end up suffering from lasting damage.

Other key culprits which can affect skin on a day to day basis are the use of unsuitable skin care and beauty products, a stressful lifestyle and a less than balanced diet. These are just of the things that can have an impact on the state of your skin, although thankfully it is relatively easy to combat them.

Dermalogica Barrier Repair has been specially formulated to help protect against these harsh factors, and treats to skin to a much needed dose of TLC.

Barrier Repair creates a ‘shield’, so that skin is given that all important protection against any further trauma.

Shield skin against daily damage and restore suppleness with Dermalogica Barrier Repair.

Over the past couple of months, unless you’ve had the luxury of flying off to sunnier climes, you are likely to have felt the wrath of the bitterly cold conditions.

As snow and ice coated the country, it wasn’t just our balance that we needed to worry about, as plunging temperatures played absolute havoc with our skin.

Sub zero temperatures and harsh winds are prime culprits in making our skin look a little worse for wear, although the good news is that it’s easy to perk your skin up and get it looking back to its best, just by giving it a little TLC.

Your main weapon in the fight against the elements is a good quality moisturiser. Although a light moisturiser may be suitable during the summer months, in the winter your skin has completely different needs.

Skin care specialists Dermalogica have some of the most effective intensive moisturisers on the market, and their Barrier Repair moisturiser is the perfect solution for skin that has been ravaged by the ongoing cold snap.

Dermalogica Barrier Repair moisturiser creates a shield between the skin and the elements, in addition to repairing any existing damage, by intensely rehydrating the skin.

So, give your poor skin the attention that it deserves and breathe life back into your pores- just in time for spring.

Dermalogica Barrier Repair is a god send to many people who suffer with sensitive skin as it has an instant soothing feeling on the skin. It has a unique texture due to its waterless, silicone based consistency and it will melt into your skin as soon as you apply it with a feeling just like silk. Fantastic feeling if your skin is sore and irritated!! Dermalogica developed the anti-ozinate complex just for Barrier Repair which contains the perfect combination of ingredients for sensitive, inflamed or irritated skin. This product is not only highly beneficial for sensitive skin, but is also good to use if you are somebody who works outdoors a lot. If your skin has to battle with the harsh elements, it will produce a very resilient barrier that will protect and prevent your skin from becoming damaged and resulting in sensitivity.

If you think you would like to try Barrier Repair always try a sample first. This will enable you to see if the product is going to suit your skin. If all is well, and your skin is quite normal – without any dryness or dehydration, then you should be fine to use Barrier Repair on its own after cleansing and toning. If your skin is dry or dehydrated, then you will need to use one of our Dermalogica Moisturisers as well. You should cleanse, tone, apply Barrier Repair then a suitable moisturiser. If your skin is very aggravated and irritated, then you can make a sandwich effect by applying Barrier Repair followed by your moisturiser and then Barrier Repair again over the top, to give your skin optimum soothing, healing and protection. If this feels too much during the day, and if you also want to wear make-up, then just use the sandwich effect in the evening when your skin has got all night to let the products do their work. It is important that you still try to use Barrier Repair in the morning as well, because your skin will need the protective and healing benefits during the day.
