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 Age Smart – Why You Need to Use this Skin Care Range if you’re Concerned with Ageing

The Power of Dermalogica Age Smart

If like me you want to continue to look as young as possible for as long as possible, then you are just going to love the Dermalogica age smart range of products and what they can do for your skin. Perhaps you feel you need a step up in your current product

Dermalogica Age Smart - Your Ageing Defense!

range – as we all get bored, our skin does too. Then there are those of us who want to prevent the first signs of ageing and keep that dewy fresh young looking skin for as long as possible! Well isn’t it great to know that the Dermalogica Age Smart range will cover all these concerns.
It would have been great to have the fantastic ingredients that the Age Smart Range offers to me, when I was in my twenties so I could have started on it then but for me I use Dermalogica Age Smart Range to help slow down the ageing process and to give me a weapon against further damage.

Dermalogica Age Smart and Glycation

One of the processes of ageing in skin is glycation which is an internal chemical reaction within the body that eventually causes cross-linked collagen (resulting in wrinkles and loss of elasticity), inflammation and the slowdown of cell growth.
Glycation is a result of when sugar comes into contact with a protein (such as collagen) it reacts immediately and generates damaging free radicals that do damage to the cells and cause inflammation. There are many diseases that are associated with glycation such as people who are diabetic (as they have high levels of sugar in their blood and suffer from various health issues).

Glycation is also associated with many diseases of the brain, muscle weakness and heart disease as well as speeding up the ageing process. Reducing glycation is what scientists now believe will help slow down the ageing process and disease formation.

Dermalogica’s Peptide Technology

One of the active ingredients that help control glycation is a polypeptide molecule known as arginine/lysine. This polypeptide acts as a sugar trap and binds to the sugar in the body making it unable to react with proteins and cause glycation, therefore slowing down the ageing process.
This amazing polypeptide ingredient (arginine / lysine) can be found in the following Dermalogica Age Smart products – Dermalogica Antioxidant Hydramist, Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF30, Dermalogica Super Rich Repair and Dermalogica Renewal Lip Complex.

I personally love the Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF30, it feels so silky smooth and the hydration on the skin lasts for ages and even better a SPF30 which gives my skin fantastic protection without that oily, gluggy feel.
As I have already mentioned inflammation in the skin is another ageing process and anyway we can lessen the impact of this, will definitely be to our advantage. Colloidal Oatmeal, Evening Primrose Oil and Chrysantheumum Parthenium Extract reinforce the skin’s lipid barrier, helps to retain moisture levels and calms irritated skin – Dynamic Skin Recovery is a Winner

Free Radical Damage and Why I Love to Use Dermalogica’s Antioxidant Hydramist!

Free Radical Damage is also a big no no as far as ageing is concerned. The body has some great defence against these usually in the forms of vitamins, enzymes and some foods that we digest. We are always producing free radical damage and as we get older it gets worse. UV light, oxygen, pollutants, smoking, etc and although some of us, eat a vitamin rich diet the skin is often the last to get its supply of antioxidants so we need to make sure our skin get adequate supplies of topically applied antioxidants so we can help to repair the damage to collagen, elastin, DNA and tissue degradation.

One of the easiest and quickest ways to do this is by using Dermalogica’s Age Smart Antioxidant Hydramist on clean skin under your dermalogica moisturiser or other dermalogica skin care products. By using this twice a day I find it gives me an instant firming action to lift and tighten my skin and bathes my skin in refreshing hydration – you should try this!

Dermalogica Age Smart and the Effects of UV Damage

UV Damage is another ageing menace to the skin it strikes with no mercy and presents itself either early as sun burnt skin or later in the form of pigmentation and age spots (you can actually see the damage what will eventually show up on your face, with a special tool called a skin scanner), loss of elasticity, formation of wrinkles due to breakdown of collagen, skin cancer, leathery dried out skin – the list goes on – not a pretty picture and even though we may protect ourselves now, the damage has probably been done already.
If you get the chance, check out the skin scanners that are available in the professional skin care centres. Not only will the therapist be able to see your skin damage so will you too! That picture will ensure you will always use sun protection and if you are too lazy to apply a moisturiser and a sunscreen, do what I do and get the Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF30 which has both. You can even get mineral make ups with sunscreen protection in, so there is not really an excuse anymore for not wearing sunscreen protection every day.

Inika Cosmetics have sunscreen in there organic mineral makeup range and the amazing Priori Coffeeberry Perfecting Minerals is fabulous, as it always improves your skin’s condition and can be applied as a dry sunscreen for children to wear.
Getting back to UV Damage one of the best things to do for your skin would be to use the Age Smart Dermalogica Map 15 Regenerator. It has a cocktail of high performing revolutionary ingredients to dramatically improve UV damage.

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.

If You Are Sick and Tired of Oily Shine You Need to Dermalogica’s Oil Control Lotion!

Dermalogica Medibac Oil Control Lotion

: Yes – Oily Skin’s Do Need to Moisturise! Dermalogica’s Oil Control Lotion is Great!

Dermalogica Oil control lotion is a favourite among many acne suffers to help control breakouts because it’s oil-free, non-clogging and paraben-free not forgetting that its main purpose is a moisturiser.

It works at controlling the triggers of acne (the triggers are clogged pores, oil flow, bacteria and inflammation) as well as being a really great light-weight moisturiser. You do need to use a moisturiser if you have oily skin because it will help combat the dehydration and the great thing about oil control lotion is that it lightly hydrates and mops up excess oil.

Dermalogica’s oil control lotion feels really nice on the skin, it’s light-weight, non-greasy and smells fresh but the most amazing surprise I found from this dermalogica moisturiser is how soothing it is on your skin (thanks to the added botanicals) which is a big plus if you suffer a lot from painful breakouts.

Oil control lotion uses the power of microsponges that are derived from potato starch that have a special knack of absorbing “excess” oil flow on the surface of your skin. It gives you a matt finish. It’s a great choice for oily skin types as not only will it allow your make up to go on better and stay on better, but that tell-tale “oil-slick” will be far less than normal, as it will reduce the amount of oil on your face. You can use oil control lotion on your face or just specific oily areas. Make sure your skin is oily if you are using this product, if you are not sure use the alternative dermalogica moisturiser active moist as this is oil-free and combats dehydration.

Dermalogica Ingredients

There is one percent salicylic acid in this product to help very lightly exfoliate your skin and unclog the pores, however don’t expect to use this product instead of an exfoliant, it’s more for it’s antibacterial properties at one percent, it’s best to use overnight clearing gel at night time (it’s got salicylic acid a higher dose and hylauronic acid to hydrate your skin – without oil)

Dermalogica Medibac Acne Complex is in dermalogica oil control lotion, this complex helps to control your oil production thanks to the ingredients (zinc gluconate, yeast extract, caffeine, biotin, horse chestnut enatia bark) and regulate your oil production.

Oily Shine is reduced by the microsponges but enatia chlorantha bark does also help to reduce shine. To give your skin ‘relief’ from those painful pimples panthenol, menthol, bisabolol and glycyrrhizade are added to calm inflammation while the ingredient Hyssopus helps to prevent future breakouts by control your breakout/bacteria activity and even zinc gluconate is really good at minimising any acne bacteria.

Look if you have breakouts and need a moisturiser try it, as you can see it’s much more than just your average moisturiser as it does fight the causes of acne and if you use the entire dermalogica medibac line you will great a better improvement in your skin.

It’s best if you just use oil control lotion in the day time and you only need a pea size amount for your whole face.

Dermalogica’s Smart Moisturiser For Premature Aging

Dermalogica Age Smart Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF30

Dermalogica Age Smart Potent Moisturiser

If you’re concerned about ageing and want more than just a moisturiser that only hydrates your skin then dermalogica dynamic skin recovery is just for you. If you are aware of the dermalogica age smart range you will know how good it is and dynamic skin recovery is no different.

It’s a moisturiser but it also helps your skin fight skin aging free radicals (not that much different from the other dermalogica moisturisers) however the key thing about this dermalogica product is it actually helps your skin fight against the damaging effects of glycation.

Glycation is a new term what is floating around in the skin care industry; it’s the reaction between sugars (glucose) and amino groups in proteins. Collagen is a protein and as a result the sugar reacts with it (known as glycation) causing glycation and free radical damage. The result from this process is inflammation (which accelerates the aging process), the loss of collagen and elastin and also can stop skin cell growth.

The scary thing is our body cannot reverse the glycation process or remove it. Dermalogica however when developing the Age Smart line has discovered a peptide molecule that can act as a ‘sugar trap’ allowing the sugar in the body to bind to it. The peptide is known as Arginine/Lysine polypeptide and thankfully this is included in this moisturiser, providing to your skin an anti-glycation effect!

Yes is new technology, but it’s amazing that we now have a moisturiser that can help protect our skin from this. Dermalogica are starting to use more and more peptides in there formulas and in this dermalogica moisturiser again they have added another peptide known as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5.

This peptide is amazing, I mean it really is clever it actually activates tissue growth in your skin, it’s a skin-firming peptide and also stops the process of the enzymes that are responsible for breaking down collagen.

Dynamic Skin Recovery Moisturiser

Ok, this moisturiser really feels creamy on the skin, but not on the thick and heavy scale, it’s rich but not thick and it’s jam-packed with moisture usch as hylauronic acid to provide maximum skin hydration. It’s got glycosamine in there which not only fights the glycation process but it stimulates the production of collagen and hylauronic acid in your skin.

Evening Primrose Oil is in this moisturiser and you can tell and feel how it repairs your skin and helps keep it hydrated and it last’s throughout the day. As aging and inflammation go and in hand, it’s no wonder that dermalogica have included ingredients such as Colloidal Oatmeal – which is an absolutely brilliant calmer of skins (I use this a lot in my treatments for anyone with extremely sensitized skin conditions) and Feverfew Extract which helps to calm irritated skin types.

Free radical damage from pollution, smoke and everything else bad around us and White Tea Extract helps to protect our skin against this but it’s also incredibly good at helping with preventing glycation in the skin a really potent and good antioxidant is White Tea.

When you use this creamy moisturiser you will notice how incredibly calming and hydrating it is and will now be happy in the fact that it’s doing all of those amazing things I mentioned above! It’s a daytime moisturiser and it does contain an SPF30. I find it does not leave my skin with any white residue that a lot of sunscreens can, it blends really well and the hydration lasts all day and make up goes on over the top great. Don’t forget that UV is the major cause of skin aging so make sure that if you are going out in the sun all day that you reapply for that extra protection. Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery is more suitable for anyone with premature aging. I have seen client’s skin’s fine lines vanish from using this daily, it’s really good for anyone with a dry, dehydrated skin type.

Dermalogica Skin Care – My Favourite Dermalogica Product To Use When Going For a Dirty Weekend

Dermalogica Skin Care – What I LOVE To Use When Going Away For The Weekend

Dermalogica’s Sheer Tint Moisture Comes in Handy When Going Away

Dermalogica skin care products are wonderful but when you are going away for the weekend (and your like me ) you pack four of your favourite pairs of shoes, six outfits to choose from and enough make up to warrant it’s own case, hence not that much room for my dermalogica skin care.

Having travelled a lot lately, my dermalogica skin care products do weigh-a-ton and if I can save a few kilo’s and room in my case – I will (I am a serious shopper-holic). Anyway, I have recently fell back in love with Dermalogica’s Sheer Tint Moisture - Have you ever tried this day time moisturiser before? I tried it when it came out a few years ago, but I decided to give it another try and have re-discovered how wonderful this product is for when I go away for the odd weekend!

I am not saying use it when you go away, that is just the way I find works perfect for me – for ONE MAJOR REASON – I cannot be bothered to put all of my make up on! I like to chill out and relax so to speak when I am away with just my husband and the Sheer Tint Moisture in the medium is ideal. I find I take less products with me (hence it’s a three-in-one product), it gives me a natural looking coverage and has SPF15 coverage. The hydration is a little on the light side for my skin type (it’s oil-free), I use the hydrating booster underneath sometimes, the consistency is between active moist and skin smoothing cream (dermalogica’s other moisturisers) – That is why I use it occasionally, but if you have a combination skin type this would be perfect for you to use every day.

One of my pet hates is re-applying sunscreen throughout the day. To get effective sun protection throughout the day, you need to re-apply regularly. This can be hassle for anyone who wears a lot of make up and it’s hassle for me, but what I find to be great is dermalogica’s Sheer Tint Moisture, I apply it in the morning and I can re-apply straight over the top of it, during the day (every two hours!) I have been known to apply dermalogica’s Solar Booster over my mineral make up when I have been stuck, but I have to practise what I preach – Be Smart When it Comes to Sunscreen, Wear it and Re-Apply during the day.

A big plus for me is convenience, if you have a daughter in her teens and worried about her applying sunscreen when she’s out during the summer, get her this product, she will really like it and she can just apply it and reapply throughout the day, no dramas.

Let’s have a look at this dermalogica skin care product and see if it will benefit your skin.

Sheer Tint Moisture SPF15

This dermalogica moisturiser comes in three skin-normalising shades (light, medium, dark) and also untinted. Have a look at the picture to see the shades on my skin. The actual tint is from Iron Oxide Earth Minerals giving you a nice colour wash and increasing your skin’s radiance. There is absolutely no artificial colours in this product or any of the dermalogica skin care range. This moisturiser does NOT give you a heavy foundation look, I emphasize “wash of colour”. If you have clear skin, you will love it, if your skin is problem prone and you use alot of make up, you will need to apply foundation over the top.

Why Should You Use It?

If you are a busy-bee, take lots of trips, go to the beach often, play lots of sports – you will love it – for it’s ease of use. If you are a teenager it’s great (it’s oil-free) and will not cause you to break out. It’s a convenient way to hydrate protect and even out your skin.

What are the Ingredients in the Sheer Tint Moisture Range?

Besides the Iron oxides, this dermalogica skin care product uses chemical and physical sunscreens to protect against the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. It also contains lots of antioxidants to protect the skin against free radicals such as walnut seed and olive fruit extract. In fact the olive fruit extract really gives you a high level of antioxidant protection.

This dermalogica moisturiser is not greasy, is light-weight and oil-free. It really does contain some fabulous ingredients that can hydrate your skin. There’s panthenol to maintain your hydration levels, and lots of humectants such as sorbitol, glycerin and urea (humectants bind water to your skin).

They have even included lactic acid and sodium lactate which are naturally found in your skin and these help to hydrate and condition your skin.

I really like how dermalogica added dimethicone into this moisturiser, not only does it make the moisturiser glide on nice to your skin but it’s brilliant at reinforcing the barrier properties of your skin, so your skin’s level of hydration is maintained and stops moisture loss.

Dermalogica Skin Care Sheer Tint Moisture

Theres more to sheer tint moisture than meets the eye, you can see why it’s one of my picks for a weekend-wonder away (remember to pack a night time moisturiser!)

Dermalogica’s Extra Rich Face Block – Do You Know How Good This is?

Dermalogica's Sunscreen Extra Rich Face Block

Extra Rich Face Block SPF30

Before I tell you about dermalogica’s extra rich face block, I wanted to learn about sunscreens. It may come to no surprise to you that the sun’s rays causes aging. The UV radiation from the sun in forms of UVA and UVB rays are responsible for making us look old and can lead to cancer. The UVA rays or “aging rays” I like to call them penetrate the skin much deeper than UVB rays and 99% of photo aging is caused from UVA rays. The impact of these rays coming into contact with our skin causes the breakdown of our collagen and elastin, resulting in wrinkles and loss of elasticity, pigmentation can develop (the little brown marks) and the DNA of our skin’s cells can also be altered and mutated.

There were only two ways to protect our skin from UVA and UVB rays, from either a chemical sunscreenwhich filters out the harmful spectrum of rays or physical sunscreen which reflects the UV rays. The problem with the physical sunscreens such as zinc oxide is they can make you look really white.

Dermalogica has developed a new technology into there new sunscreen range which takes the physical sunscreens and micronises the formula so you do not get that white appearance on your skin but not altering the sunscreens particles, allowing you to still get maximum protection from the sun.

When looking at sunscreens an SPF30 still only filters out around 96% of the sun’s UV rays, this means that 4% of the rays still can access our skin and cause damage in the form of free radicals. Dermalogica have now added a new defence to there sunscreens by combing the sunscreen with vitamins E and C to give you enhanced photo protection. This is in a form of a intelligent DNA capsule that contains the active vitamins C and E. This capsule that contains the vitamins sits on the surface of your skin keeping the vitamins nice and active and when the skin is exposed to UV radiation the capsules bursts open and the vitamins are released onto the skin! This is just a start of what is in Extra Rich Face Block.

Let’s Have a Look at Dermalogica’s Sunscreen For Really Dry or Premature Aging Skins

Besides the new updated vitamin capsule technology in this combined chemical and physical sunscreen it is packed with hydrating ingredients for skin’s that are staved of moisture. The actual cream is a really rich texture perfect for dry skin conditions and nourishes the skin with borage seed oil, evening primrose oil and vitamin E, helping to retain moisture levels. This really is a moisturiser with added sunscreen protection, if you use Intensive Moisture Balance this is ideal daytime moisturiser/sunscreen for you to use.

To keep your skin looking smooth and help maintain the natural moisture levels in your skin this dermalogica sunscreen has added hyaluronic Acid, Urea and Algae Extracts to give your skin a boost. What really excites me most about this sunscreenis dermalogica have added peptides into the formulation giving you a really active moisturiser with superior sunscreen protection. Palmitoyl Tetra-Peptide and Palmitoyl Oligopeptide both work at triggering your collagen to produce and firm the skin’s tissues and restore elasticity. If you find that your skin takes it’s time reforming back into position if you lift it slightly – You need this!

Spring Time Ready!

With The Warmer Season Coming Upon Us – What is the Best Way To Get Your Skin Ready For Spring?

Your skin changes through out the seasons, as winter approaches the best thing is to change to a more hydrating moisturiser to combat moisture loss, but in Spring you really need to do the opposite. When the weather starts to get warmer I like to have a course of peels, spring is a perfect time of year to refresh your skin and “spring clean” as such and a course of peels keeps my skin in shape for the season. It is also a really good time to update your skin care at home routine and checking that your exfoliant and moisturiser is still right for your skin

Exfoliation is important throughout the year, but in the spring your skin care should be taken up a notch to get rid of any dry, flaky skin patches you have had during the winter period. Exfoliating with dermalogica’s daily microfoliant is a great gentle daily exfoliant you can use that gives instant results, however it is not a true exfoliant, as it really microfoliates the skin. Increase your exfoliation by incorporating dermalogica’s Age Smart Thermafoliant into your routine, that can be used twice a week and is suitable for a more mature skin type, but it not only exfoliates it infuses your skin with vitamins at the same time, so you get a lovely glow (you would not use daily microfoliant on the day of using Thermafoliant – too exfoliating!)

With a good exfoliant in your routine, with the warmer months approaching, you may need to change to a lesser hydrating moisturiser, the sheer moisture range by dermalogica is great because it is light hydration (in between active moist and skin smoothing cream), can be tinted or untinted and has an SPF15 sunscreen in it.

Make sure you are drinking enough water, remember a minimum of eight glasses of water a day, helping you to remove toxins in the body and flush out your system. With your body on display more in the spring than the winter, a total body overhaul may be your thing, however to get a sexy, hydrated smooth body, I find using dermalogica’s body hydrating cream great, it’s light, smells great and lightly exfoliates the skin leaving it feeling really smooth.
