After a long day at work, out and about or relaxing by a pool, you’re guaranteed to have greasy, oily skin on your face. It’s not a pleasant feeling and as you get further through the day you know it’s there and it can significantly reduce your confidence. All you want to do is get home so that you can thoroughly wash your face so that you once again feel human.

There are so many factors that can lead to your skin looking and feeling much worse than it has to; if you work in a humid environment then sweat will make it worse; thick make up and skin care products won’t do it any favours either. If your skin is constantly becoming oily and greasy then the likelihood is that your pores will become congested – especially if you don’t clean your skin properly at the end of the day – which will lead to blackheads and spots to appear pretty quickly.

You can avoid this fate by looking after your skin and using the right skin care products. Dermalogica’s Precleanse is great for stripping the skin of any excess oil, make-up – even waterproof – and any other dirt that may have built up over the day. If you use this and follow it up with a Dermalogica Cleanser then you can sleep safe with the knowledge that your skin can breathe and the likelihood of a breakout has been significantly reduced.

Dermalogica’s Star magazine Beauty Awards

As you know Dermalogica won a whole host of awards in 2012, in fact we went through each one and listed them in some of the final blogs of the year; however, 2012 isn’t over.

At the very end of the year Star Magazine held their annual Beauty Awards and yet again Dermalogica were triumphant with not one but two of its products. Dermalogica won in the Best Cleansing Duo category with Special Cleansing Gel and Precleanse.

Dermalogica Precleanse is a deep clean for the skin. Precleanse is exactly that, a Precleanse that will prepare your skin for the Dermalogica cleanser. It uses a mixture of natural oils that melt through excess oil, make-up and even water-proof mascara to ensure that your pores are cleared, which allows your cleanser to sink deeper into the skin.

Dermalogica’s Special Cleansing Gel is the second treatment in this award winning duo and it will remove all impurities without altering the skin’s natural moisture levels. The use of balm mint and lavender soothes and smooths the skin and allows Quillaja Saponaria to flow deep into the pores and flush out any toxins that could be harmful to the skin.

Less is definitely best when it comes to make up

Every time you go out you’ll see the people that are being stared because they’ve literally painted their face with foundation, blusher and concealer; they don’t see that there’s anything wrong with the way that they look but if they stood in a mirror with a few other members of the public they’d probably get the hint. The point is, too many people aren’t confident enough to leave the house without a full face of make up and it doesn’t look good. It might look good on the dance floor of a local club on a Friday night but it doesn’t look right mid-week when most people are going about their usual nine to five business. However, there are ways that this can be changed. If you’re one of those people who probably wears a bit too much make up then listen up because less is definitely more.

Wearing less make up but still feeling just as confident is much easier than you might first think and it also mean you can stay in bed for an extra half an hour in a morning because you don’t have to spend hours in front of the mirror applying your make up. Firstly, make sure you use a cleanser and make sure it’s a good one. Try Dermalogica’s Special Cleansing Gel and Precleanse formulas in order to give yourself a good make up base and to keep your spots at bay. A good moisturiser is also essential; Dermalogica’s Active Moist restores your skin’s natural moisture levels, protects and calms. This may seem unnecessary but because your skin will be in much better condition from not wearing so much make up, you will be much more confident.

If you still wish to wear some kind of cover up the Dermalogica’s Concealing Spot Treatment and a Treatment Foundation are definitely for you. Both of these products will give you the o=coverage of any high street make up brand but it will also provide your skin with moisture, vitamins and prevent the development of breakouts.

By following this advice not only will you look better but your skin will feel better and you’ll save loads on cosmetics.

Help your Eczema

Dermalogica is a great product choice for any skin condition – you can even use most products during pregnancy. Two products that include ingredients that are particularly good at treating Eczema are the Dermalogica Precleanse and, to keep your skin nourished at night, Dermalogica’s Overnight Repair Serum.

Dermalogica Precleanse is a deep clean for your skin. It doesn’t just remove the dirt on the surface; it cleans deep into the pores. Layers of make-up sebum, skin products and any environmental pollution that have built up on the skin over the day are melted through in order to achieve a deep clean. This product is full of natural ingredients such as Apricot Kernel Oil – a great source of fatty acids and vitamin A, which help soothe irritation; Kukui Nut Oil – source of vitamin A, C and E, that strengthen the skin’s natural barrier and treat skin disorders such as dry skin, acne and general irritation. Most importantly though is Borage Seed Oil which contains Gamma Linoleic Acid – a well-known fatty acid that is widely used to treat eczema, inflammation and scaling of the skin.

Dermalogica Overnight Repair Serum will help keep your skin treated and conditioned overnight. A lot of people forget about treating their skin in the evening, but the reality is that doing it in the evening is more important than the morning. After a day of make-up, dirt and environmental pollution build up, all your skin wants to do is breathe. After removing make-up, smoothing this serum onto the skin encourages collagen production and revitalises tired skin.

This product is another that is full of natural ingredients such as Argan Oil which sinks deep into the skin without leaving it feeling greasy; it’s a great source of antioxidants and fatty acids, so the skin’s natural barrier is strengthened. The formula also contains Jasmine Oil which offers a great fragrance while softening and conditioning the skin. Carrot Seed Oil – probably the most important in this case – is rich in antioxidants; it helps revitalise the skin and is great for treating eczema and dermatitis.

Dealing with skin which suffers with excess oil production can feel like an on-going battle when you’ve yet to find products which enable you to keep the situation under control, and you could feel that you’re confined to applying layer upon layer of pressed powder.

Simply resigning yourself to the fact that pressed powder will forever be your best friend shouldn’t even enter your mindset though, and as there are so many brilliant products about nowadays which really can keep the situation under control, you could keep your powder confined to your makeup bag.

Although there are some superb products out there which are designed to combat excess oil production after you’ve completed your usual cleansing, toning and moisturising, you can now control excess oil production from the very start of your skin care regime- by investing in a product such as Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser.

Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser has been specially formulated to provide a deep cleanse, remove excess oils, clear congestion and generally leave skin a lot more refreshed.

This great product is fantastic when used in conjunction with Dermalogica Precleanse, and both really can help to control excess oil from the start.
