Dermalogica Skincare Blog

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.

Dermalogica C-12 Concentrate is a silky rich, high potency treatment that brightens, helps treat cellular discolouration and improves skin clarity. Velvety silicones absorb quickly to condition skin and help reinforce the barrier lipid layer. It is designed for people with hyper-pigmentation or uneven skin tone and is part of the new Dermalogica Chroma White TRx range of skin
