Skin Hydrating Masque is Great for Dehydrated Skins

Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque

If your skin is feeling dry, parched or tight, a hydrating masque can do wonders at restoring dehydrated skin – thanks to too much alcohol, smoky environments, excessive caffeine and not enough water. Dermalogica Skin hydrating Masque if you’ve never tried it before is a moisture-rich hydrating gel in a bitter orange flower base (it smells really nice btw) that will take any dull, dehydrated skin and instantly revitalise it.

Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque is oil-free and is calming making it suitable for all skin types and it can be even used around your delicate eye and lip area to plump out dry, fine lines and add vital moisture what is needed around any ones eyes!

I find it great on a very hot day in Australia, I put this dermalogica masque in the fridge, making it nice and cool and apply it around my eyes – Excellent for de-puffing and calming down any redness.

This dermalogica masque comes in handy especially when travelling – I’ve actually gone on a plane wearing this! (it’s clear so no one can tell) to keep my skin intact on long flights and minimise dehydration thanks to air travel.

Panthenol is used to intensely hydrate your skin, reduce tightness and dry patches. It’s great how it reduces inflammation, it’s packed with calming botanicals such as bitter orange, hops, cucumber  and arnica montana flower all helping to cool your skin down.

It’s even loaded with vitamins C an E to combat the effects of environmental damage and stress on your skin. It’s great for anyone that has acne as it won’t cause breakouts or clog your skin but will intensely hydrate your skin (without the oil) – great if your breakouts have become dry and flaky, and this dermalogica masque calms irritation and inflammation from breakouts quickly and effectively.

You can boost the hydration of this dermalogica masque by applying Skin Hydrating Booster first to your skin and then apply Skin hydrating Masque over the top.

The great thing about this dermalogica masque is every time I use it and remove it, my skin is instantly really calm, refreshed and full of much needed moisture. You can use this dermalogica masque up to three times a week if needed (especially if your really dehydrated) and it’s best to use after exfoliating and allow Skin Hydrating Masque to activate for 10 to 15 minutes.

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

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.

Party Skin Can Be Yours With Dermalogica’s Multivitamin Masque That Can Transform Anyone’s Skin into a Vibrant, Healthy, Complexion-Reviver!

Party Skin Can Be Yours With Dermalogica’s Multivitamin Masque That Can Transform Anyone’s Skin into a Vibrant, Healthy, Complexion-Reviver!

 Dermalogica Age Smart Power Recovery Masque

Dermalogica Age Smart Power Recovery Masque

Dermalogica Age Smart Power-Packed Masque

If you want your skin to look your best during the party season then you must invest in doing a dermalogica age smart face masque minimum ‘weekly’ to boost your complexion and get some serious health benefits back into your skin.

Dermalogica Power Recovery Masque is a multivitamin cocktail of potent ingredients that simple soothe, nourish, hydrate and plump up the skin and you see an improvement instantly with every use – it’s no wonder this is the-must have dermalogica masque to use when you are going out and wanting your skin to look radiant.

If you want your make up to glide on your skin properly and look good, then dermalogica power recovery masque is the way to go, it helps get rid of those fine dryness, crêpe lines from too much partying i.e. dehydration and gives your skin an instant boost a GLOW that comes from the inside out.

The secret is from the potent vitamins that are in this dermalogica age smart masque and it’s incredibly repairing and healing properties it has on your skin.

What I LOVE LOVE LOVE about this dermalogica masque is it actually contains five percent panthenol also known as pro-vitamin B5. This is great news because a five percent concentration of panthenol cream has been shown in studies to reduce healing time in your skin DRAMATICALLY! It also has the amazing ability to rapidly penetrate deep into your skin (that’s why you see an instant result – and this is one reason why all dermalogica skin care therapists have this masque as their Top-Pick!). Just a side note many products out there contain panthenol but are in a concentration of one percent or less – this means THEY DO NOTHING FOR YOUR SKIN – As I always say – “You Get What You Pay For in Life!”

As it penetrates deep down into your skin it also stimulates your collagen making fibroblasts into action and because it is so incredibly healing to your skin, if you have any sensitivity what so ever – this is a great masque to use. It’s actually very creamy on your skin, smells great, has a wonderful texture and is a yellow-orange colour. In fact after you wash off this masque you can still feel it deep in your skin and he effects lasts for hours.

Besides Panthenol it’s also boosted with the active-vitamins of A, C, E and F (vitamin F is an essential fatty acid). Vitamin F, I love especially for anyone who has really dry skin because not only does it moisturise your skin it reduces any dryness and restores the natural barrier function on the surface of your skin – so such a great masque to use for sensitivity.

The Vitamin C in Dermalogica Power Recovery Masque is in the form of Ascorbyl Palmitate – which is a form of vitamin C which is more stable and penetrates better into your skin. By using this dermalogica masque you are getting an ample dose of Vitamin C that will stimulate more collagen production (i.e. that is why your skin looks plumper) but also stops the enzymes that break down your collagen and elastin at the same time – GENIUS!

Vitamin E which is a great antioxidant is used for its antioxidant properties but is also smoothes your skin incredibly and helps your skin increase its moisture content.

Vitamin A in the form of Retinyl Palmitate this protects your skin against dehydration, improves the texture of your skin and also helps to reverse the signs of aging.

Think of this dermalogica masque as Five Five Five, because it contains five percent panthenol, five percent algae extract and five percent betaglucan – which is an extremely high amount! This masque really is POTENT – You Really Have Got to Try it!

Dermalogica Power Recovery Masque is Jam-Packed With Goodness!

So far you can see how powerful this masque is but it’s also full of more amazing active ingredients that work to calm and soothe your skin. It has Algae Extract which besides being full of nutrients it softens your skin incredibly.

These are the soothing and calming ingredients in the dermalogica masque – Liquorice, Comfrey, Burdock and Rhizone Root Extracts which all work to de-sensitize your skin and the most incredible anti-inflammatory ingredient Oats! (You can see why it’s a therapist Best Friend).

While this masque is not a true dermalogica Age Smart Line (i.e. it does not work on glycation, or MMP’s – see my other posts on these) It does quench the free-radicals thanks to the high-amount of antioxidants in this product and it really does restore your skin and makes it look like peaches and cream for when you want your skin to look instantly better – Enjoy!
