If you regularly suffer from skin blemishes, it can be all too easy to rely on the use of heavy makeup in order to restore that little extra piece of confidence and make you feel ready to face the day ahead.

However, regularly wearing heavy make-up can make the problem even worse, which is why it’s always best to try and eliminate blemishes and keep them at bay altogether, rather than simply cover them up.

If your skin is prone to blemishes, you’ll be pleased to know that there are some really effective cleansers on the market today, which will help to get your skin back to its beautiful best in no time at all.

Dermalogica have a great line of products which are tailored to blemish-prone skin, and their popularity continues to rise as so many people realise just how effective they are.

For deep cleansing that won’t dry out skin, combine Dermalogica Precleanse with Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser- for squeaky clean skin that looks and feels fantastic.

Follow up with the fantastic Dermalogica Clearing Mattifier, which will help to banish those blemishes without promoting excess oil. Finish with a Dermalogica moisturiser for skin that has never looked better.

Follow a specifically tailored skin care regime, and you’ll be throwing away that heavy concealer and foundation faster than you know it!

If you’re using a cleanser that is unsuitable for you skin, it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of thinking that your skin is clean, whilst in reality this couldn’t be further from the truth!

In order to keep your clean looking as fresh and clear as possible, it’s important to take your time and choose a cleanser that is not only designed for your skin type, but that is also suitable for your lifestyle.

For example, if you tend to wear a lot of make-up on a daily basis, or work in a dusty or dirty environment, a simple gentle cleanser might not be enough to give your pores the thorough cleanse that they so badly need.

If spots and blemishes have started to appear, and you feel that it may be because your cleanser is letting you down, it’s simple to get your skin squeaky clean and feeling really refreshed.

Firstly, Dermalogica Precleanse will get cleansing well under way, and will penetrate deep into the pores for the ultimate deep clean.

Next, you need to assess your skin type and choose a cleanser accordingly. Again, Dermalogica have an unbeatable range, so whether your skin is dry, oily or combination- there’s a product to suit.

Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser is perfect for shifting stubborn dirt and oil, and will make your skin feel truly amazing and is ideal if you have excessively oily skin.

Cleanse your skin the right way, and experience the feeling of fresh skin like never before!

After a long day at the office or out and about, there’s no better feeling than getting home and giving your face a good old scrub.

The greasy look and feel of skin after a long day is no fun for anyone, and the problem can be worsened by other factors. Wearing make-up, using a heavy moisturiser and working in a humid environment can all add to skin feeling like an oil slick after just a few hours.

Not only does greasy skin feel unpleasant, but it can lead to further problems. If pores regularly get blocked and are not cleaned properly, pimples and blackheads can start to appear.

However, the good news is that as long as you use the right products, keeping your pores unblocked and your skin looking clear is not difficult.

Although you could just invest in a deep cleanser, to get your skin squeaky clean you should start with a pre-cleansing product, such as Dermalogica Precleanse. This fantastic oil cleanser strips skin bare of excess oil, stubborn make-up and any other nasties that your skin may have come across during the course of the day. Great for all skin types, it also conditions whilst it cleanses.

Follow up with a suitable cleanser (Dermalogica have a specialist range), and feel your skin breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Dermalogica Precleanse is one of those products that comes along every now and again that is like nothing else you have ever used before, and a product that until you try it you will never know how good it really is.

When Dermalogica developed Precleanse they had concluded through much research that 8 out of 10 of us do not cleanse our skins thoroughly enough therefore leading to further skin problems. Dermalogica discovered that using a combination of specific oil based ingredients to cleanse the skin had a very effective way of lifting and encapsulating the skins natural oil secretions which also collect and hold dirt, grime, bacteria and make-up. They also discovered that when water was added to the product after being applied to the skin this would emulsify the product ensuring that it can be removed effectively without leaving a residue on the skins surface. The next important step after using Precleanse is to follow with your usual Dermalogica cleansing product because this cleanser is now able to work at its very best, ensuring your skin has been thoroughly cleansed. Precleanse is also fantastic to use as your eye make-up remover, especially waterproof mascara.

You only need to use Precleanse once a day at night because this is when your skin will have been exposed to the days elements, and any dirt and grime in the atmosphere will be lying on your skins surface, and also many of you will have been wearing make-up which all needs to be removed properly.

To use Precleanse pour a small amount into one hand then massage between both hands to warm and activate the ingredients. Massage Precleanse over the whole face and neck and over the eyes if wearing eye make-up. Do this for approximately 1 minute then wet your hands and continue to massage over your skin. You will see that the product will start to emulsify by turning to a milky consistency and this indicates its time to remove by rinsing off with water. It is then vital to follow with your usual cleanser.
