If you like Dermalogica’s Precleanse or you have thought about using this dermalogica cleansing product but wondered what all the fuss about you really need to check out this video, by Dr Diane Howard from Dermalogica. She explains how it really cleans your skin, with a great boot polish experiment – a must to watch!
If you have been worried about the signs of aging lately and noticed that your skin is started to feel not as taught as it once did, you may be interested in dermalogica’s key firming product called extra firming booster, that gives immediate firming and relief to anyone worried about the signs of aging.
Dermalogica invented boosters that are highly active serums that you can use whenever your skin feels the need, you can apply them to certain areas (targeted) of your face under your moisturiser, some of the boosters you can mix in the moisturiser and one of them (the skin hydrating booster) can be used around the eye area to increase hydration.
Dermalogica’s extra firming booster is a fond-favourite for anyone who can see and feel the tell-tale signs of aging and imparticular I find works particularly well for on the neck area (works better than any neck cream, because it’s an active serum that can penetrate better). Watch my video below, to learn all about extra firming booster.
This dermalogica booster contains some amazing ingredients such as vitamin C, palmitoyl pentapeptide-3, wheat proteins, red seaweed extract, horsetail extract, yeast extract and brown seaweed.
This booster is all about firming and regenerating collagen, energising and revitalising the skin!
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 – Stimulates deep collagen formation and also increases internal hydration, it works similar to Vitamin A and C.
Hydrolyzed Wheat Proteins – Wheat proteins give you an immediate firming effect when you apply them to the skin, increases the tightening feeling on the skin, but is also responsible for smoothing the skin’s surface.
Brown Seaweed – Rich in amino acids and sugars forms a microscopic firming net over the surface of the skin. It provides a surface tightening action.
Red Seaweed Extract (Corallina Officinalis) – Is responsible for firming the protein links called desmosomes in the skin, dermalogica’s multivitamin power firm also use this ingredient.
Vitamin C – Stimulates structural collagen and elastin production in your skin and increases the firmness in the dermis.
Yeast Extract – Incourages “internal firming” by stimulating cell renewal in your skin.
Horsetail Extract – Reinforces the firming effect
This booster is one of these products that you have to understand how it works, to appreaciate what it is going to do to your skin, I have found it great for on the neck area, as when you get older your neck starts to wither!!!!

You Need Topical Vitamins For Skin Health
Have you ever wondered why we need vitamins in skin care? I mean we can buy supplements of vitamins and they are in the food that we eat. Why should we be bothered in investing in good vitamins for your face? I am going to explain what vitamins do to help improve your skin, which vitamins to look out for and which dermalogica products have vitamins in them.
Vitamins are used in skin care products to help protect the skin from free radical damage, aging and environmental damage. But just any old vitamins will not do! Vitamins are complex, not only do you have to look at the type of vitamin used but also the percentage and if it is stable and can penetrate the skin, for example.
Vitamins also work better in groups rather than just individual vitamins in skin care, when choosing skin care with vitamins look for vitamins C and E together, not just E. Today many people take vitamin supplements for there health, this is great, however you cannot expect these vitamins what you take internally really help improve your skin. Vitamin supplements will always go to your body’s major organs first, and what is left (which would be hardly anything) will go to your skin that is why to maximise your skin’s health you need to apply topical vitamins.
When looking at vitamins in skin care not only do they have to be able to penetrate the skin, they must be stable enough so they do not lose there potency and effect. Vitamins are wonderful addition to skin care because they protect your skin against free radicals. Free radicals cause damage to your skin’s cells, allowing them to mutate and this sets off a chain reaction causing the cell to be broken down by the body and this causes the break down of your collagen (allowing wrinkles to form), breaking down your moisture and hydration (hylauronic acid content) and also reduces the elasticity in your skin. In fact free radicals cause damage to just about everything in the cell. Free radicals are caused mainly by smoking, pollution and UV rays.
You can see why vitamins in skincare are very important and every time you apply them you are getting instant relief to your skin. A fantastic dermalogica moisturiser which has losts of vitamins and antioxidants is Intensive Moisture Balance – it has vitamins A,C,E Ginko biloba, Grape Seed Extract, Super Oxide Dismutase and Green Tea, all of these ingredients are fantastic for premature aging. Super Oxide Diemutase is a naturally occuring substance in our bodies that prevents the free radical Super Oxide. This is one of the worst free radicals that cause premature aging in the skin – it’s great to know dermalogica use super oxide dismutase in Intensive Moisture Balance.
Sunscreens are also another way to gain extra protection by the inclusion of antioxidants in them such as dermalogica’s Extra Rich Face Block which not only has it’s UV Smart Booster Technology, but Two Collagen Regenerating Peptides, extra hydration from Hylauronic Acid and SPF30 protection – another product I think is fantastic.
It’s great how vitamins protect our skin from free radical damage, however not a lot of people realise that vitamins cannot protect our skin from free radicals forever, in fact after a vitamin has been attacked by a free radical for so long, it actually turns itself into a free radical! One way to helping to prevent this is look for vitamins that are together in a skin care product, let me explain…. Vitamin E is a great vitamin it’s very healing and hydrating for the skin, however after being attacked by free radicals (only 50 times) it oxidises and turns into a free radical itself. Scientists have discovered that by using vitamins E and C together this helps prevent this. Vitamin C recharges or boosts Vitamin E, preventing it from turning into a free radical – Amazing!
There are many vitamins to consider and what they do are unique so I am not going to go into them there in this post, just remember that you need to inlcude topical vitamins in your skin care routine to help prevent premature aging and protect your skin.
