We all know just how important it is to ensure that skin is cleansed properly morning and night in order to keep spots and blemishes at bay, although with as there are so many different skin cleansers out there it can be all too easy to fall into the trap of using a cleanser which isn’t suitable for your skin.

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.

Most bathrooms have bars of soap dotted around, and this can lead to the temptation to use them to wash your face. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that this isn’t the best course of action to take when it comes to cleansing your skin though, as the average beauty bar which you find on your average supermarket shelf isn’t designed for the delicate skin on the face.

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.

X Factor 2008 winner Alexandra Burke has let one of her top skin secrets slip- Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel.

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!

Slumdog Millionaire actress Freida Pinto has revealed how she achieves such stunning skin- and surprisingly, it doesn’t involve an airbrush or hours in the makeup artist’s chair!

Achieving skin as clear as Freida’s just requires a little time and effort- and thankfully you won’t need the bank balance of an A-lister either. Stunner Freida recently explained how plenty of water and fresh fruit and vegetable are key in keeping skin in tip-top condition, in addition to following a strict cleansing regime.

She revealed:

“I always wash my face before bed. I can’t sleep with make-up on, even just a little bit. I like my skin clean. I wear sunscreen every day, that’s my cardinal rule.”

If you want to follow in Freida’s footsteps and be the proud owner of the most amazing skin around, there are some great cleansing products around on the market today which are suitable for use morning and night.

Dermalogica’s line of cleansers is renowned for being the best in the business. So much so that many A-listers have revealed that Dermalogica products are a staple part of their skin care regime.

Dermalogica Essential Cleansing Solution and Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel are just two of the very popular products that are snapped up in their thousands every day.

Look as fantastic as Freida and make that little added effort in getting your skin looking gorgeous.
