Take advantage of bath time skin benefits

A long hot bath is the perfect way to relax after a particularly tough day, and there’s nothing quite like sitting back with a good book and a few candles to soothe the day’s stresses away.

However, on the down side, unless you’re very careful, a soak in a bubble bath can be very drying, and you could find yourself towelling off extremely dehydrated skin.

You don’t have to give up your relaxing baths and stick to showers though, as simply by investing in the right products you can make bath time really beneficial to skin.

Instead of using products such as standard beauty soaps and body washes which smell gorgeous but which strip the skin of essential oils, take a look at the products in the Dermalogica Body Therapy range.

The Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash, Exfoliating Body Scrub and Body Hydrating Cream products are fantastic bath time essentials, and all will help to leave the skin feeling soft, supple and in superb condition.

So, look to Dermalogica and make bath time not only relaxing, but also highly beneficial to your skin.

Getting skin ready for the summer months

It only seems like yesterday that we were all getting up 15 minutes early in order to wrap ourselves up in lots of extra layers and to scrape snow and ice off the car, although thankfully spring has finally started and the thought of a little sunshine and warmer temperatures makes it that bit easier to get up in the morning.

After such a bad winter though, you’re not alone if you’ve found yourself completely unprepared for spring- especially when it comes to your skin.

When sub zero temperatures strike and when snow and ice is lining the street, the last thing that anyone is going to do is step outside without lots of layers on, and with skin hidden under so many layers for so many months, it’s easy for it to become dull, dry and a little neglected.

If your skin is in need of a little TLC, and the thought of having to hide away all summer in thick jeans and long tops is filling you with dread- fear not- as by taking action now your skin will be more than ready to face the summer sun.

The products in the Dermalogica Body Therapy range are fab for getting skin back to it’s best, so why not arm yourself today to prepare yourself for a battle you’re sure to win?!

Winter Skin Body Therapy

Not only is the skin on your face effected by the change of climate, but the skin on your body can change too. Your skin might start to feel dry, scaly and flaky especially after bathing or showering. We can recommend several products to use in our Dermalogica Body Therapy range.

To begin when you are washing your skin in the bath or shower the Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash is not only invigorating in the way it smells, but it is also very therapeutic for your skin because it is soap free and contains an alternative ingredient which is very effective at cleansing your skin. It also contains many essential oils to purify and soothe your skin that will also moisturise and hydrate your skin. Conditioning Body Wash is also great to use with the Dermalogica Ultimate Buffing Cloth. It is a long, slim cloth which will gently exfoliate your skin while your washing. All you need to do is wet the cloth and then apply just one pump of the body wash, work up a foam and massage the cloth over your entire body. The shape of the cloth is brilliant to wash your back with, which usually gets missed. You will also use much less product when using with the cloth so your product will last twice as long.

It is also great for your skin to follow our 3 minute rule. When you have bathed or showered pat your skin dry and while your skin is still damp, quickly apply your body cream or lotion. When your skin is still damp it will absorb the moisturiser more efficiently and will also lock in the moisture.

If your skin isn't sensitive and isn't particularly dry the Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream will be the best one for you. This product contains a special hydroxy and lactic acid complex to gently exfoliate, which will smooth and tone your skin. It is non greasy and absorbs extremely quickly into the skin and very effectively nourishes your too.

If your skin is very dry or sensitive the Dermalogica Ultra Rich Body Cream is the most suitable for you. It has a lovely rich and creamy texture which is very soothing when applied to the skin. It has a unique long lasting formula so your skin will feel soft and smooth all day. It also contains healing ingredients that are great to alleviate any sensitive or irritated areas. Always try and patch test any new product before using all over your body. Samples are available for all of our products which is enough to patch test with.

To use these products on a daily basis will dramatically improve the texture and tone of your skin or will also prevent your skin from becoming dry and uncomfortable. Try and remeber that prevention is always better than cure.
