Dermalogica Skincare Blog

Every single individual out there needs to make sure that they’re doing their skin justice and following a good skin care regime, as a little neglect now could lead to big regrets later.

Many years ago, looking after the skin in order to ensure that it looked its best may have had to involve an absolute age in front of the mirror, applying product after product. This isn’t the case any more though, as most basic skin care products couldn’t be any quicker or easier to use.

There are a few skin care basics which practically everyone should follow- here are a few things which it’s well worth thinking about if you want to check that you’re doing your skin justice…

- Are you cleansing, toning and moisturising?
- Are you cleansing, toning and moisturising twice a day?
- Are you aware of your skin type?
- Have you checked that the products which you’re using are suitable for your skin type?
- Does your skin need any extra help (i.e. with banishing excess oil, dryness or break outs)?

These are just a small handful of things which you should think about, and you can also check that you’re doing your skin justice by checking that you’re using Dermalogica Skincare products.

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.

You only need to open any given women’s magazine to see advert after advert promoting the latest celebrity and ‘beauty expert’ favoured skin care products, although more often than not, these skin care products are seriously expensive.

When you’re faced with adverts of models with super stunning, flawless skin- skin which is allegedly the result of using said products-it can be easy to fall into the trap of investing in these products, whatever the cost.

In this day and age though, very few people have got the cash to splash on super expensive skin care products. You don’t need to blow an entire months wage in order to achieve and maintain super stunning skin though, as there lots of far more affordable products out there which can do just as good a job.

Dermalogica products are a prime example of why you really don’t need to spend an absolute fortune on looking after skin- in fact they’re so good that many top celebrities swear by them.

Stunning skin doesn’t mean spending lots- ask any Dermalogica fan if you needed further proof.

Skin which feels dry and tight certainly won’t be skin which feels comfortable, and it also might not be skin which looks its very best.

Failing to follow a good skin care regime could quickly see your skin losing its suppleness though, so whatever skin type you have, you need to be absolutely certain that you’re using products which are keeping it as healthy as possible.

Keeping your skin supple doesn’t need to involve hours poring over skin at the mirror though, as the fantastic skin care products which are available today can do the job quickly yet properly.

Keeping skin supple means using products which won’t strip skin of essential moisture but which will instead boost it.

It isn’t just a good moisturiser which will help to keep skin looking and feeling its best either, and you should also take a look at your cleanser, toner and any other skin care products which you’re using to ensure that they’re not stripping skin of essential oils.

With Dermalogica products, keeping skin supple is as easy as it’s ever going to be, so whether you’re looking to replace part or all of your skin care regime, it will be simple AND affordable.

Just because every chemists, supermarket and beauty store you step in to is filled with shelf after shelf of soap doesn’t mean that you have to give in and use it!

Think back to your childhood, and there’s a good chance that you’ll remember a parent bathing you or washing your face in soap at some point. You certainly don’t need to carry the tradition on though, and now that you’re an adult you really should know better!

Soap is generally there to smell nice and provide skin with a surface cleanse, although with most soaps, this is where the ‘benefits’ end.

Soap can be unbelievably drying and it’s also highly unlikely to provide skin with the thorough cleanse it needs- so you need to try and restrict its use to washing your hands in public loos- basically, when you’ve got no other option!

Keep soap away from your face, and instead invest in a face cleanser which has been specifically designed for the job.

The same goes for when you’re washing your body in the bath- use a proper body wash.

Dermalogica has everything you need to be able to cleanse your skin properly, so there’s no reason at all why soap should feature.
