Lathering up with soap might initially make you feel as though you’re giving your skin a thorough cleanse, although this is generally just very deceptive and it’s highly unlikely that your pores will be getting the deep cleanse they need.

Instead, soap is more likely to be stripping your skin of essential oils, and this could leave skin seriously dry and dehydrated- even skin which doesn’t usually suffer with dryness.

Making your skin care regime soap free by swapping soap with something far more suitable- such as the ever-popular Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel- is a far better option.

The Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is a great cleanser which is suitable for all skin conditions and which thoroughly cleanses the skin without the need for any soap whatsoever.

Skin will be left feeling refreshed, soothed and supple after use of the Special Cleansing Gel- ultimately in far better condition than when soap is used.

With new cleansers hitting the market on a frequent basis, some people do make the mistake of using the wrong type of product, although this can do more harm than good.

Although you’ll want your skin to be as squeaky clean as possible after cleansing, achieving this shouldn’t be through the use of a cleanser which is too harsh.

A cleanser which is overly harsh could strip your skin of the essentials- which could leave it feeling very dry, tight and parched. Keeping spots away shouldn’t mean that you have to make this sacrifice.

A good cleanser CAN provide your skin with through cleansing without stripping it of essential oils, with one great example of this being Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is a soap free cleanser which has been formulated to eliminate skin impurities without eliminating essential moisture. Whilst cleansing, it also soothes and purifies- it really is the ultimate gentle yet effective product.

Even if you religiously used soap on your face as a child, this simply won’t cut it any more, and you need to start being a lot kinder to skin.

As well as failing to offer adequate cleansing- which could lead to blemishes- there’s also a good chance that soap is stripping your skin of essential oils, and this definitely won’t leave it in the best condition.

There’s no time like the present to make that change and start treating your skin to a little special cleansing- and you can do this with Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is a superb soap free cleanser which thoroughly cleanses the skin without stripping it of essential oils, so it really will be a lot kinder to your complexion than your old soap.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is great for all skin types from combination to oily, and therefore it makes a brilliant addition to any bathroom cabinet.

Treat your skin to the cleansing it deserves with the Special Cleansing Gel.

Fragranced soaps are definitely the worst offenders when it comes to being overly harsh on the skin, although so-called ‘pure’ soaps also aren’t going to provide you with much in the way of skin benefits, and with so many beneficial products on the market there’s no valid reason why soap has to feature in your skin care regime at all.

Washing your face with soap is likely to leave it feeling very dry, and you’re also unlikely to be giving your skin a thorough cleanse- which is essential in getting rid of the impurities which can build up during the course of the day.

Substituting your soap with a soap-free cleanser such as Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is far better for your skin, and offers a really good cleanse without the need to strip skin of essential oils.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is suitable for use on all skin types as it’s so gentle, and it soothes and purifies whilst getting rid of all of those unwanted additions to your skin.

So, if you’re sick of the side effects of soap and want to stop sacrificing the state of your skin reach out for Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel.

When it comes to cleansers, many people use a product which is far too harsh for their skin type, as they believe that in order to cleanse skin properly, the use of a strong cleanser is necessary. This certainly isn’t the case though, and using a cleanser which is too harsh can seriously strip skin of essential oils.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel proves that skin can be cleansed thoroughly yet gently, and this product is fantastic at shifting daily dirt, oil and even make up.

As Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel doesn’t strip skin of essential oils, your skin won’t feel dry and tight after use, and as it’s oil-free, skin won’t be left feeling greasy either.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is suitable for all skin types too- making it a must on every bathroom shelf.

Using soap to cleanse the face even on a couple of occasions can strip the skin of essential oils, and it certainly won’t create a good base for a moisturiser or makeup.

There are lots of superb Dermalogica cleansers available at the moment though, so whether your skin falls into the dry, prematurely aging, oily or combination category, there’s no excuse for soap to be used even as a last resort.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is one of the most popular Dermalogica cleansers out there, as its soap-free formulation thoroughly cleanses skin without leaving it feeling dehydrated.

Special Cleansing Gel soothes and purifies whilst it’s hard at work, and leaves skin spotlessly clean without the need to add soap to the equation.

In a recent interview, fellow X Factor contestant Ruth Lorenzo revealed that since Alexandra recommended the product to her, she hasn’t looked back, and Ruth now joins an increasingly long line of celeb faces who swear by Dermalogica products.

Alexandra is never seen without flawless skin, and those who thought that she may have had more than a helping hand with the airbrush may have to think again, as it appears that the key to stunning celebrity is a little more accessible.

Ruth, who is also close pals with her X-Factor mentor Dannii Minogue, spoke of her struggle to keep her skin squeaky clean after days of wearing heavy makeup for photo shoots and public appearances, and converted to Dermalogica on the wise advice of Alexandra.

Ruth enthused:

“The best product for my skin is Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel. It leaves my skin feeling so clean – Alexandra Burke got me hooked on it. I often have to wear so much make-up during the day, this is the only cleanser that makes me feel like it’s all come off.”

If it’s good enough for X-Factor’s finest, it’s definitely good enough for us!
