Dermalogica's Overnight Repair Serum

It’s about time Dermalogica brought out a specific night-time treatment for the skin – and they have! It’s called Dermalogica Overnight Repair Serum, but before I get into that, have you ever wondered why we need day and night products for our skin? Is it just another ploy to get us to buy more products and do we really want to put the extra effort in?

Well the truth is our skin not only changes with the seasons but also shows fluctuations during the 24 hour cycle and this is known as circadian rhythms. Whilst studies are still being carried out on circadian rhythms two of the most known rhythms are sebum excretion (oil output) and trans epidermal water loss (water lost through the skin).

It is a fact that our skin excretes the most oil at midday but our trans epidermal water loss is at its lowest. The temperature for our skin and the ph also fluctuates from day to night with the temperature peaking in the evening when the ph is the lowest.

So to summarise this, the studies indicate that skin excretes less sebum, loses more water, is hotter and more acidic during the night-time than during the day. Taking these factors into account it indicates that the skin is likely to be drier and perhaps more vulnerable to irritation at night and may explain why some people are more prone to night-time itch or flare-ups of inflammatory skin conditions.

The Skin Works Hard While We Sleep

It is also believed that the skin repairs itself more at night and that cell renewal is enhanced in the evening. Another important factor is that there is no UV light from the sun (although there is UV present in fluorescent light) and no extreme daytime temperatures or environmental pollutants.

Ideally all out makeup is removed at night and whilst we are sleeping we are not smoking, drinking alcohol or acutely stressed therefore it is a wonderful environment for our skin to catch up with the damage caused throughout the day.

Ta Dah! Dermalogica’s New Night Time Treatment Overnight Repair Serum is Born

All these conditions have been analysed and through this a brand new product from the Dermalogica range has been born – Dermalogica Overnight Repair Serum. One of my main concerns would be the prevention of wrinkles and fine lines along with dehydration and I know from my experience in any skin clinic that this is the biggest concern for most people.

Around the age of fifty Hyaluronic acid that is found in the dermis of the skin really starts to decline and as Hyaluronic acid can hold a thousand time its weight in water it is easy to see how the skin will become more dehydrated resulting in fine lines and wrinkles.

Also around the age of fifty the skin elasticity starts to deteriorate along with collagen (the plumping in your skin) – it’s not good news!

When our skin becomes dehydrated it is more prone to sensitivity so it is definitely in our best interest to keep those moisture levels high. Overnight Repair Serum is a true treasure and anyone concerned with sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles would benefit from superb active ingredients including palmitoyl tripeptide-38 which stimulates two forms of collagen and hylauronic acid and alaria esculenta a brown seaweed that contains powerful antioxidants and vitamins A, B, C and E to nourish skin tissues.

You can check out the Dermalogica Overnight Repair Serum Video Below

Dry, dehydrated skin benefits from the Argan Oil which is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids that restores the skins barrier and traps in moisture. Dull, lacklustre skin and hyper pigmentation is also addressed with rosehip seed oil rich in retinoic acid and vitamin C.

The results from overnight repair serum are nothing less than superb and my skin already is starting to see new life and is more plumped due to the newly increased hydration and people are already asking me what I am doing differently, which is always a good sign J.

I use the overnight serum on freshly cleansed clean skin, spritz with Dermalogica’s Antioxidant Hydramist and then apply four to five drops over my face and neck and then apply my moisturiser. If you prefer you can mix the Dermalogica Overnight Repair Serum into your moisturiser and then apply but I honestly feel you are better to apply the serum directly onto the skin.

An excellent night time skin care routine would be:-

The Dermalogica Age Smart Range:- Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, Spritz with Antioxidant Hydramist, MAP-15 Regenerator (applied to where signs of ageing are prominent), Age Reversal Eye Complex, Overnight Repair Serum – four to five drops let it sink into the skin for one minute before applying Power Rich. Now apply Dermalogica Power Rich.

There are also acupressure points on the face, that can be stimulated when applying overnight repair serum to improve results even further which are easy to perform on yourself, plus I forgot to tell you that Overnight Repair Serum smells beautiful! Thanks to the rosehip oil.

I am sure you will enjoy using this latest high performance product and be as excited as I am by the results I am getting, it really is beauty whilst you sleep, Enjoy!

Christmas Party Season is Coming – Is Your Face up to it?

Spring is quickly coming to an end and before we know it summer will be here and Christmas events and parties will be written in your dairy. Now is the time to take a look at your skin and prepare it for the party season, with some of the quick fix Dermalogica Products.

One of the things you might notice are signs of skin dehydration, this usually presents itself as fine lines across the surface of your skin, especially when you lightly press the skin together with your fingers.

Dehydration is not good because it can make your skin appear older and can lead to sensitivity. Even though you can be extremely good at drinking your quota of water it is not necessarily going to magically hydrate your skin as your internal organs and circulation, digestion and every other organ will get in first.

To ensure that any additional hydrators that you apply to your skin are able to penetrate to their full potential you need to ensure that the skin is exfoliated first. Exfoliation is extremely important and gives lots of benefits besides letting the hydrators do their job.

There are different types of exfoliators too and it is very important that the correct ones are used for “your” skin condition. Exfoliation removes clogging surface debris allowing for optimal absorption of treatment ingredients, polishes the skin to create a smooth surface, sloughs off dead skin cells, speeds up cell turnover, brightens the skin and improves suppleness to the skin.

Exfoliation is something you can do at home and Dermalogica have a great range for each skin condition. From breakout prone and aging skin to hyper-pigmentation and dry, dehydrated skin. Exfoliation is important to the health and appearance of all skin conditions.

The ideal amount of exfoliation is one day of intense exfoliation with seven days of gentle exfoliation. If you wish to exfoliate deeper or speed the process along I would suggest you make an appointment with a skin care professional for a skin treatment.

I personally love Dermalogica Daily Resurfacer which I use at night after cleansing and leave on under my moisturiser. Just applying in circular movements all over my face so that it can work during the night. Daily Resurfacer is a combination of chemical and physical exfoliants that resurfaces, smoothes and brightens to improve all over skin clarity.

In the morning I use the perfect partner for Daily Resurfacer which is Daily Microfoliant. Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant gently sloughs off all the debris that has been produced during the night from daily resurfacer. There are lots of combinations in the Dermalogica range and one that will be perfect for you too.

Well now that you are perfecting your exfoliation the next stage is adding a booster or serum to super saturate your skin with intense moisture.  I love and strongly recommend Dermalogica’s Skin Hydrating Booster, this little beauty instensly moisturises thirsty skin as it smoothes and minimises fine lines.

One of the ingredients in Dermalogica’s Skin Hydrating Booster is Hyaluronic acid which should become your best friend as it holds a thousand times its weight in moisture and improves elasticity. It is ideal for the eye and lip areas showing dryness line.

One of the best things about dermalogica skin hydrating booster is that it is not oily so your face does not feel like it is being smothered with a greasy film, therefore your makeup is still fine to apply. I can’t say enough praise for this product as it restores the skin’s critical moisture levels, revitalises parched skin, minimises fine lines and is nutrient rich.

Just five or six drops of this product for your face and neck applied onto clean skin under your moisturiser will give you the results you need.

Well now you have exfoliated and targeted dehydration your skin should be well on the way to party mode – but I still have some more tips to get that beautiful skin glow!

Dermalogica’s After Sun Repair – For When Your Skin Hurts Like Hell – After a Day in the Sun!

Dermalogica’s After Sun Repair – For When Your Skin Hurts Like Hell – After a Day in the Sun!

after sun repair

Dermalogica After Sun Repair - Your Skin's Emergency Repair from a Day in the Sun!

Dermalogica’s After Sun Repair is one of those funny products that does not really get enough justice for how good it is, not may salons sell it, not many customers buy it and why? For one it is kinda pricey for a “after sun lotion”, however most of the time it comes down to the beauty therapist and client, not being educated on the sophistication of this superb dermalogica solar product.

You need to be aware that Dermalogica After Sun Repair is not a dermalogica sunscreen, it belongs in the solar range dermalogica category, but it does not provide any SPF protection what so ever. You may want to know what I think of it. Well I have to say, it really is very nice. It’s a clear gel that smells beautiful; I really like the smell (thanks to the homeopathic herbs) and it really is soothing and really silky on the skin. Nothing really exciting here compared to other dermalogica “hero” products but….you need to know that it packed with some super ingredients that will want to make you go and grab one, next time you are exposed to the sun’s rays….

It contains Japanese Alder, this ingredient has amazing properties that scavenges free radicals but it also ACCELERATES REPAIR OF UV-INDUCED DNA DAMAGE from sun-exposure on the day you are burnt in the sun!!! The way this works is Japanese Alder stimulates the DNA enzymes to do the work of repairing your skin’s cells. In fact, if you are serious about sun damage, this product is a must have to put into your skin care routine, during times in the sun.

The homeopathic blend (which I just love) is a mixture of Clove Oil, Szechuan Pepper, Liquorice, Mugwort, Lavender, Cucumber, Chamomile and Yucca, they all work synergistically together helping to reduce pain immediately from the sun’s rays and redness and irritation, I also tend to keep After Sun Repair, in the fridge during a hot spell, so I have it on hand, when needed, or when I go for a long walk along the beach, it’s very refreshing after a day in the sun.

It also helps to restore moisture back into your skin (don’t you just hate that dry, itchy, tight, sun-burnt feeling?), it’s got Hyaluronic Acid (which holds one thousand times it’s weight in water), algae extracts (this helps to repair free radical damage to DNA molecules, while reinforcing the cell structure) and glycolipids, to accelerate the recovery process and preventing peeling of the skin, plus it’s got Aloe Leaf Juice for added hydration and it feels so wonderful, smooth and hydrating when you apply it to your skin, a very nice dermalogica product.

This super-cooling balm not only defeats some of that ageing UV damage you have just caused, but also helps soothe, reduce redness and pain. In fact you will find that some of the ingredients in the homeopathic blend are used in baby teething formulas to take the pain out of teething (not suggesting that you use dermalogica after sun repair in your mouth – or your babies – it’s strictly for sore, sun-burnt body parts only!). Dermalogica took the knowledge of baby teething formulas and developed a topical version – Clove Oil (a great antioxidant), Licorice and Szechuan Pepper really help to numb discomfort!

Dermalogica have also included a nifty reparative complex to help protect your skin’s cells from further damage and also boosting the healing process, so your skin can recover ASAP. This solar product really should be anyone’s must have body product (after sunscreen) when you are going away on holiday – you never know when you are going to be caught out in the sun! Take my husband for example, he went for a dog walk with my grandson, FIVE HOURS LATER, he returned, exhausted, sizzled and dehydrated to the bone – he had got lost in the woods and it took him five hours to get back on the right track! (My grandson was ok – he had his hat, milk bottle and masses of sunscreen applied before hand) – but my husband didn’t – he was a pathetic state, no able to talk, frothing at the mouth (I tried not to laugh), but boy, was he glad I had my trusty After Sun Repair in the fridge that night, it was a life saver – instant pain reliever and comforter! So as you can see, dermalogica after sun repair, comes in handy in times when you need it most – my husband, didn’t get any sun burn or peeling by the way – but was a nice shade of a pink grapefruit!

After Sun Repair, really is a fantastic dermalogica product and much more than your standard after sun balm, that you find at the chemist. It repairs dna from recent sun exposure, re-conditions and re-hydrates the skin, reduces pain, redness and inflammation and accelerates healing, this is a must have product and needs to be applied to the skin after sun exposure and you can see why you pay more than other products – but well worth the extra expense!

If you want more information about dermalogica online products, check out my dermalogica store.

Remember – Your skin really does want to forget it’s days in the sun!!!

Is Your Skin Feeling and Looking as Dry as a Desert?

Is Your Skin Feeling and Looking as Dry as a Desert?
Skin Hydrating Booster

If Your Skin's Feeling Dehydrated You'll LOVE Dermalogica's Skin Hydrating Booster

 Thankfully dermalogica have a wonderful serum called Skin Hydrating Booster that will turn your parched skin around and restore hydration levels to the max – thanks Dermalogica! 

I have personally witnessed my skin being battered by general anaesthetic, long international flights and dry hot conditions that have caused my skin at times to resemble a dried apricot! (in fact just the other day, I did the ultimate “skincare sin” – while I was in emergency hospital with my grandson, I had to make the choice either wash off my panda eye make up with antiseptic hand wash, or look like a state with big, black, panda eyes while in the hospital – my grandson’s ok now btw, but my eyes are as dry as anything, so glad I have dermalogica skin hydrating booster, worked like a treat when I got home from the hospital) 

Anyway, my saviour is definitely including Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster into my skincare routine so I can restore life into my skin again. Dehydrated skin is undoubtedly one of the most common skin conditions that I see in the skin care centre and it is also a precursor to sensitized skin. 

Therefore it is not only important to keep the skin deeply hydrated because of fine lines and sensitivity but the skin cannot function properly if the critical moisture levels are not maintained. 

Studies have shown that as we age there is a decrease in hyaluronic levels found in the skin which contributes to the aging process. Dermalogica’s Skin Hydrating Booster is a super-saturated clear hydrating fluid that reinforces your skin’s barrier layer whilst replenishing hyaluronic acid to your skin’s tissues. 

What’s So Good About Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster?

 

Hyaluronic Acid is the most powerful agent for the skin holding up to one thousand times its weight in water; it also surrounds the collagen and elastin proteins to keep your skin elastic and malleable. 

Panthenol is another “goodie” also known as pro-vitamin B5 and this ingredient is not only excellent for repairing the skin but is also a superior humectants that helps rehydrate skin tissues. A combination of plant derived compounds form a moisture barrier over the skin’s surface whilst helping to restructure the barrier functions of the skin to minimise dehydration, smoothing skin and improving suppleness. 

80% of the population have dehydrated skin and on areas of the face that usually show first is around the eyes. Fine lines start to appear as moisture levels decrease giving the surface of the skin a crêpe look especially around the eyes. Dermalogica Skin hydrating Booster is particularly effective in this area and just a few drops applied to your skin in this area will greatly improve your hydration levels and then apply your dermalogica eye cream over the top. 

Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster is not greasy or oily and will super charge the hydration levels of even the driest skin conditions and great for oily skin conditions too. 

When you apply this miracle worker onto clean skin, squeeze a small dose (five to six drops) onto fingertips and massage gently over your face and throat and then follow with your favourite dermalogica moisturiser.

The Dermalogica Body Lotion Thats Also a Sunscreen

The Dermalogica Body Lotion Thats Also a Sunscreen

Dermalogica Sunscreen Multivitamin Body Block is a Great Body Moisturiser

Dermalogica Sunscreen Multivitamin Body Block

Dermalogica Sunscreen – Multivitamin Body Block SPF20Not all sunscreens are made the same and you have to decide whether you want to truly do the best for your skin in protection, safety and maintaining hydration. There are numerous sunscreens on the market so why should you use dermalogica multivitamin body block on your skin? 

For starters it is a luxurious daily body lotion which intensely moisturises, hydrates and conditions your skin. It’s a non-greasy, non-sticky formula, even sand doesn’t stick to it, making it ideal for the beach – This is a BIG PLUS as nobody wants to feel like a big grease ball with sand sticking to every crevice on your body (like other sunscreens). 

Dermalogica Multivitamin Body Block absorbs extremely fast and leaves a velvety non-greasy layer on your skin. Obviously safety is a major factor so it is comforting to know that Multivitamin Body Block contains the latest sunscreen technology to ensure you are protected against UVA and UVB photo-damage and this sunscreen evens helps you recover from previous damage. 

Multivitamin Body Block is SPF20

Why SPF20? Why is this dermalogica sunscreen not SPF30? Well as this is a daily body moisturiser do you really want to apply all the extra chemicals it takes to make it SPF30 far better to reapply more often. It’s good to know that dermalogica is right up there giving us UV smart booster technology as Multivitamin Body Block contains an encapsulated complex of antioxidants C and E that scavenge UV induced free radicals any time the sun is exposed to UV, this mean using this – is less ageing for you! 

Dermalogica Sunscreen – Key Ingredients

Let’s talk about the key ingredients and what they are going to do for your skin. 

  • Avobenzone, Octinoxate, Octisalate and Oxybenzone are the chemical sunscreens that provide optimum UVA and UVB protection for your skin.
  • Shea Butter, Evening Primrose Oil, Glycolipids and Hylauronic Acid help maintain hydration and smooth skin.
  • Panthenol aids in skin repair and hydration
  • A complex of vitamins C and E guard against free radicals and ageing of the skin.
  • Doesn’t this sound Better than Just Sun Protection? I wouldn’t dream of driving – leaving the house without my daily protection of multivitamin body block to exposed areas of my skin (I think it’s a great hand cream BTW).

Application of sunscreen is also important. Generally about one teaspoon for the face and a full ounce (approx 1/8 cup) for complete body coverage. Also make sure you reapply sunscreen whenever you swim, exercise or sweat a lot. Remember it is always better to over apply than to scrimp! 

If you have a sunscreen sensitivity then an SPF20 would be a better choice for you as there is less chance of irritation than an SPF30. The dermalogica sunscreens protect you from both UVB and UVA (aging) Rays, they are free from artificial colours and fragrance and will not clog your pores or cause breakouts.

Firm, Firm, Firm Your Skin!

Firm, Firm, Firm Your Skin!

Dermalogica Age Smart MAP-15 Regenerator

Dermalogica Age Smart Map-15

Yes You Can Firm Your Skin With Dermalogica Map-15 Regenerator

There are not many products that claim to firm your skin and do but according to dermalogica there MAP-15 regenerator will stimulate your collagen to firm and brighten your skin. I think the MAP-15 Regenerator is a strange product there really is nothing quite like this out on the market. It’s a powder that is incredibly light-weight and when you apply it directly to your skin it turns into an emulsion that gently melts into your skin.

What does MAP-15 Stand For?

Dermalogica’s Age Smart MAP-15 means Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) this is a form of vitamin C which is an antioxidant that will protect your skin from free radicals and the damaging enzymes known as Matrix Metalloproteinase that is responsible for destroying your collagen supplies. With so many different forms of vitamin C on the market why would you want to use this? Well MAP is a stable for of vitamin C, so that means with every application you are guaranteed fresh “non-oxidised” vitamin C, which will straight away do it’s job of firming and brightening your skin while providing antioxidant protection and stopping the enzymes Matrix Metalloproteinase from breaking down your freshly made new collagen bundles!

MAP is a special form of vitamin C that is non-acidic making it great for sensitive skin types and not causing any dryness on your skin. The “15″ part of MAP-15 stands for the percentage of the product, there is 10% of vitamin C in this product and 5% of the other ingredients that work together to boost your collagen formation in your skin.

Dermalogica Age Smart

The dermalogica age smart line is designed to target the biochemical reactions that lead to skin aging. The biochemical reactions are Free Radicals, Collagen Dissolving Enzymes and Advanced Glycation End Products I am not going to go into these factors now, however what I want to point out to you is that Dermalogica’s Age Smart MAP-15 is designed to target these reactions. White Tea I think is a fantastic ingredient is in this product that not only protects you from free radical damage but is a wonderful antioxidant that inhibits the collagen dissolving enzymes (Matrix Metalloproteinase) and also inhibits Glycation – that is why I have started to drink White Tea daily, I actually prefer the taste to Green Tea and is a more powerful antioxidant. However drinking White Tea is not going to be enough to get it’s benefits to your skin, you still do need to apply good antioxidants topically to your skin to get the skin benefits.

Glucosamine is also a new wonderful super-ingredient of mine because it stimulates the formation of Hylauronic Acid in your skin (your natural moisturising factor) providing intense hydration to your skin but what is really great is it stimulates collagen regeneration and also protects your skin from advanced glycation end products (a damaging by-product of sugar and protein reactions in your skin).

This product so far, regenerates collagen, inhibits collagen-dissolving enzymes, stops glycation and provides wonderful antioxidant properties to your skin what else does it do? Well, it contains yeast extract and yeast extract is excellent for collagen formation and increasing the firmness in your skin, in fact I would go to say that this really does firm your skin and this would be one of the main reasons to use this, as it excellent – but strange!- but good!

How to Use Dermalogica Age Smart MAP-15 Regenerator

There is two ways to use this product you can use it as a spot treatment on any areas that need firming and the way to do this is cleanse your skin, spritz with antioxidant Hydramist and then apply  a small amount of the powder to your finger and then apply to your face. As you apply it you will notice how it melts gently into your skin. In fact regular use of this will lightly exfoliate your skin, brighten and smooth out the texture as well as stimulating oodles of collagen. Next apply your dermalogica moisturiser.

As it’s a powder and I find it a bit messy to use myself I prefer to mix in a pea size amount with my moisturiser, to give my whole face a brightening collagen boost and still does give excellent results.

Why Every Woman Who is Concerned About Ageing Should Be Using Dermalogica’s Antioxidant Hydramist!

Why Every Woman Who is Concerned About Ageing Should Be Using Dermalogica’s Antioxidant Hydramist!

Dermalogica Age Smart Antioxidant HydraMist

Dermalogica Age Smart Antioxidant HydraMist

Stimulate Collagen, Instantly Firm Your Skin and Boost it With Antioxidants

You know are skin is with us all our lives, it lasts longer than clothes, a pair of sunglasses and that flashy looking hand bag and if you are like me and want beautiful, healthy skin, looking after your skin with the best anti-aging ingredients is a wonderful way to ensure that your skin lasts a life time.

Now I have been updating my knowledge over the last few days

 

 on the ageing process and I am glad that I use dermalogica antioxidant hydramist on a daily basis! I cannot believe how powerful and full of goodness it is and if you’re like me and want to do everything you can to slow down the ageing process let me tell you why you need to use this dermalogica age smart product as your first step in the protection of your very best asset – your skin!

Dermalogica’s Age Smart Line  uses the latest in peptide technology and looks at how the triggers of collagen breakdown can be slowed down or halted.

What’s so Good About Dermalogica Antioxidant Hydramist?

It really is another instant effect dermalogica product that not only you feel the difference straight away but it hydrates your skin, has brilliant antioxidant protection, stimulates new collagen formation with the use of peptides and vitamin c (a.k.a MAP) and gives you an instant flash-firming effect.

I really like it because it has ingredients in it that help to combat advanced glycation (sugars that attach themselves to proteins – such as your collagen and break it down) this product has the polypeptide argentine/lyseine that stops sugars binding to your skin’s collagen stopping it from breaking down – a BIG REASON WHY YOU NEED TO USE THIS DAILY!!!!! It contains Glucosamine that controls this processes and stops your collagen from cross-linking which gives you those deep wrinkle lines.

It also protects your skin with my favourite ingredient at the moment which is White Tea Extract (I do drink White Tea daily now, however it’s a sad fact that none of this goodness goes straight to my skin on my face, but gets used in the body – that is why I suggest you use antioxidant hydramist because applying them topically to your skin does give you protection). White Tea Extract stops the enzymes called Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) in particular the enzyme Collagenese that breaks down collagen in your skin when activated either from inflammation or UV.

As we age our natural MMP protectors or inhibitors decline so we need to combat this with topically applied ingredients and White Tea is excellent at controlling these, along with Vitamin C, so you know that any collagen-regeneration products you apply are not going to be wasted, as you know you have White Tea which is inhibiting the MMP’s from breaking down your newly formed collagen!

Packed with Antioxidants such as vitamin C, White Tea is a great antioxidant, liquorice and glycosmine you know that these antioxidants are trapping free-radicals.

What’s so bad about free-radicals? They are responsible (another factor) that may cause damage to your dna, collagen and elastin cross-linking which shows up in your skin as lines, wrinkles, hyper pigmentation and inflammation – you see it’s important!

This amazing topically dermalogica age smart mist also contains Pea Extract which acts like egg white and as the mist dries on your skin it gives your skin that tautness and it’s great to use if you get hot as the cooling mist really helps calm your skin and the beautiful rose, clove and lemon aroma is wonderfully refreshing .

This super-mist also helps to stimulate hylauronic acid with the ingredients glucosamine and Bamboo and sorry to go on about this product but it does have so many great ingredients in it that do so many wonderful things!

The great palmitoyl tripeptide-5 is also in it that helps to stimulate collagen formation and stop the MMP’s from being activated and breaking down the newly formed collagen.

There are great soothing ingredients such as vitamin E, beta-glucan and liquorice and also vitamin a in the form of retinyl palmitate.

If you are concerned about your skin aging and want to keep your skin looking as good as possible, use this product under your moisturiser, it really is every woman’s best friend.

How to Use Dermalogica Antioxidant Hydramist

Prepare your skin by cleansing it with dermalogica precleanse and then your specific dermalogica cleanser, if your concerned with ageing and don’t have sensitive skin then you could try dermalogica’s skin resurfacing cleanser. After you have cleansed your skin, close your eyes and lightly mist your face with the antioxidant hydramist, (don’t let it drip over your face, just a light misting as if you are going to apply hair spray). Next gently press the antioxidant hydramist into your skin and before it’s absorbed into your skin (it should be slightly damp) apply your chosen moisturiser. I really like dermalogica’s dynamic skin recovery for day time use as it does go really well with the dermalogica antioxidant hydramist and it has an SPF30 in with it.
