Why you should always make time to tone

We’ve said it a thousand times before, and there’s no doubt that we’ll say it a thousand times again- the importance of cleansing, toning and moisturising morning and night is absolutely vital. Whatever your age and skin type, making sure you follow a strict skin care regime is imperative in keeping your skin looking its best for as long as possible.

If you start to neglect your skin care regime, you can rest assured that it won’t be long before your skin starts to suffer. Not only are you leaving yourself susceptible to spots and blemishes, you are also putting your skin at risk from showing premature signs of ageing.

When it comes to their skin care regime, some people attempt a half- hearted job and just opt to cleanse or moisturise. This is not sufficient though, and toning is also very important.

Many people are confused about the significance of toning, and are not sure of the part that it plays. After cleansing, the skin can be stripped of essential moisture- leaving skin feeling a little taut. This is where using a toner, such as the fantastic Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner can help. The toner rehydrates the skin, leaving it feeling more refreshed, and also provides the perfect base for moisturiser- allowing it to work to its full potential.

Dermalogica cleansers, toners and moisturisers work in perfect harmony with each other, and you’ll be surprised at just how much of a positive difference toning can have.

Removing your eye makeup gently

From mascara to eye-liner to eye shadow, lots of women wear eye make-up nowadays, and it’s a quick and easy way of transforming your look a little without having to spend ages in front of the mirror.

When it comes to eye make-up these days, you’re absolutely spoilt for choice and you can buy products in just about every colour under the sun. Whether you’re looking for waterproof, anti-smudge or products for sensitive eyes, you really don’t have to look too far to find them.

However, it’s one thing putting your make-up on properly, but taking it off is an entirely different ball game altogether!

Some eye make-up products can be extremely stubborn to take off- and those whose patience isn’t their strong point are often tempted to scrub at the eye area in order to shift products quickly.

However, this is the worst thing that you can do- as the skin around the eyes is extremely delicate, and rough scrubbing could lead to skin getting damaged and ageing prematurely.

This makes it essential to use a gentle product, such as Dermalogica Soothing Eye Make Up Remover. This is an amazing product which effectively shifts eye make-up without being harsh.

In addition to removing make-up, it also really soothes and moisturises the area- leaving it feeling extremely refreshed and hydrated.

Beautiful bikini body skin

Even though you never know when the next volcano might erupt, if you’re going on holiday in the coming months, you shouldn’t let this stop your preparations in the quest to be the ultimate beach babe!

There are always those who start to panic a week before they’re due to go away- having left those all important preparations until the very last minute! To make sure this isn’t you, and in order to feel as confident as possible when you’re soaking up those gorgeous rays on a beautiful beach, you need to start taking action now.

One of the main causes of a confidence crisis is the condition of the skin on the body, and it’s no surprise. After months and months of being hidden away under numerous layers, skin may be looking a little worse for wear.

Thankfully, it’s easy to get it back into peak condition and smooth enough to sustain a stunning suntan.

Use Dermalogica The Ultimate Buffing Cloth in conjunction with Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash during a bath or shower, for supple and soft skin. It’s always important to moisturise the entire body afterwards, as hot water can strip skin of essential moisture. Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream works wonders on all skin types, and will provide much needed rehydration.

Now, all that’s left to do is go for a shopping spree for those all important bikinis!

Be gentle with your skin

With so many skin care products available on the market today, picking the right products can sometimes prove to be a bit of a difficult task.

However, it’s really important that you choose the best products for your skin type, otherwise you could be doing more damage than good.

When it comes to skin care, some people are under the false impression that in order to get their skin as clean as possible, they need to use products that contain all manner of harsh ingredients. This is simply not true though, and even though these kinds of unsuitable products can leave the skin feeling really dried out, many people think that this is proof that it is working effectively.

The truth is, if you’re treating your skin like this on a regular basis, it probably won’t take long for the effects to start showing- and dry, flaky skin which is susceptible to the premature signs of ageing isn’t anyone’s idea of a good look!

This is the reason why it’s so important to choose products that are kind to your skin- particularly if it is quite sensitive anyway.

Dermalogica have a great range of products that will not only leave your skin looking and feeling rehydrated, but will also help to combat pesky premature signs of ageing.

For the ultimate gentle cleanser, you should definitely consider giving Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel a whirl. This fab foaming gel is soap and fragrance free, yet is still effective giving a thorough cleanse.

Try following up with Dermalogica Active Moist, which also feels light and gentle on skin.

Be kind to skin now, and it’s sure to be kind to you over the years.

Control oil and regain your skin confidence

It’s amazing how even the most harmless of skin conditions can have such an effect on your confidence, and for those who suffer with oily skin, keeping it under control can feel like a 24/7 battle.

Many people suffer with oily skin, and taming it on a day to day basis can be a real struggle. Excessively oily skin can affect people of all ages, men and women, and more often than not, there is not a great deal that you can do to change it.

However, there’s no reason why you should let oily skin take over your life and get you down, and by adhering to a few steps and using the right products, you can make a significant difference.

It’s important that you try and use products which are specifically designed for oily skin, as using those which are designed for other skin types could make skin even shinier.

Although it can be all to tempting to skimp on the moisturiser, this is a major no-no, as even oily skin needs to be kept properly hydrated.

Thankfully there are some fantastic daily moisturisers for oily skin on the market nowadays- with Dermalogica Active Moist being a staple part of many people’s skin care regimes.

Another fab product that has received rave reviews for its great oil control properties is Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion- which helps to keep shine at bay throughout the day without drying skin out.

Give your skin care regime a little overhaul and flaunt flawless matte skin all day long.

Rehydration is really easy

Many people suffer from dry skin, and as there are so many factors that can contribute to skin feeling drab and dehydrated, it really is no big surprise.

Climate, illness, diet and lack of a proper skin care regime are all key culprits in making skin a little parched. Not only can dehydrated skin feel awful, leaving skin in bad condition and failing to treat it properly will also start to make it look less than lovely.

Applying makeup to dry skin can be a nightmare, and there’s a very high chance that any makeup that you do apply will look flaky and uneven- which is never the best look!

However, if you do suffer from dry skin there’s no reason to panic, as it’s relatively quick and easy to get it looking and feeling silky smooth again in no time at all.

Apart from identifying and addressing the issue of what exactly is causing your skin woes, you also need to make sure that you invest in the right products to tackle it.

Dermalogica have an unbeatable range of products that are designed to treat even the most traumatised of skin, and their Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque is the perfect place to start.

Trust Dermalogica to make skin rehydration quick and easy.
