Dermalogica Skincare Blog

If you’re on a mission to brighten up or even out your complexion- whether you want to reduce the appearance of acne scars or whether you’re looking to deal with hyper-pigmented skin- the products which you use and the way in which you use them will make all the difference.

Skin brightening products which can be used in the comfort of your own bathroom can be a great alternative to taking expensive trip after expensive trip to a skin specialist, although in order to get the most from these products you need to make sure that you’re using them properly.

The Dermalogica Chroma White TRx range contains some superb skin brightening products- with the Extreme C and C-12 Concentrate products being firm favourites with those looking for powerful products which can produce real results.

To get the most from these products though, you need to properly prepare your skin- and you can do this with help from the Dermalogica Powerfoliant product.

Dermalogica Powerfoliant helps to properly prepare your skin for the application of other products and helps to ensure that these products can be fully absorbed by the skin.

Dermalogica Powerfoliant shifts dead surface cells- which in itself can go a long way in making the skin look brighter and smoother.

So, properly prepare your skin for a boost in brightening with Dermalogica Powerfoliant.

If you’ve suffered with acne in the past and have been left with scarring- which has resulted in the tone of your skin looking a little uneven- it can really put a dent in your confidence.

Although you will be happy to see the back of acne, eliminating the scars which acne has left behind could see you facing another battle, and it’s no doubt another battle that you can really do without.

When they’ve been left with acne scarring and uneven skin, the first thought for some is that there’s very little they can do about it. Either that or they start to panic about how they can afford a visit to an expensive skin specialist.

Most of us enjoy a bit of sunbathing, although it can be all too easy to get a little addicted to basking in the sun’s glorious rays- which is never good for the state of the skin. Apart from the obvious health problems that sun exposure can cause i.e. skin cancer, you could also run the risk of causing skin pigmentation.

In today’s society, many people associate a ‘healthy glow’ with attractiveness, and whilst a tan may make you look and feel fantastic in the short term, skin pigmentation is just one of its long lasting effects- which could end up having the opposite effect on your confidence.

Generally, skin pigmentation takes its time to show, and although your days of tanning may have long gone, you could find yourself greeted with skin pigmentation in years to come.

Skin pigmentation caused by sun damage can appear as small spots or larger areas of discolouration, which are generally a tan/ brown colour, and can be very visible- particularly on lighter skin.

If you enjoyed the sun a little too much in the past, and have now been graced with skin pigmentation, Dermalogica have a great line of products which are designed to tackle the condition.

Dermalogica C-12 Concentrate is amazing for tackling pigmentation on smaller areas such as the face, and in addition to treating discoloured skin, it also intensely hydrates and conditions- giving your skin some long-awaited TLC.

Since the launch of Dermalogica Chroma White range of products, many of our customers have emailed us for advice on whether they should stop using the products they currently use and switch to the new range, either because they have uneven skin tone or pigmentation problems.

Looking after your skin can be very expensive, and with the multitude of skincare brands and products out there, it can also be very confusing. We strongly believe that if you are happy with the skincare regime you currently have, and the products perform as you would expect them to, that you do not change. That’s not to say that as your skin changes that you shouldn’t change some of your skincare products. You may want to address new concerns as they arise but the general advice would be: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”.

Getting back to the Chroma White products, if you want to address the skin tone or pigmentation problem, then we would recommend that you incorporate one of the targeted treatments to help deal with the problem such as Dermalogica C-12 Concentrate (30ml) or Dermalogica Extreme C (8g). These products should be patch tested first, using a sample of the product, and then incorporated into your daily routine one at a time. You should not change anything else at this point and then monitor your skin accordingly. If you receive any adverse reactions, or the changes you experience are undesirable, then you should discontinue use of the new product. By only incorporating one new product at a time you are able to identify those products which are beneficial and the products which are not, enabling you to make informed decisions in the future.
