Brand 8: Dermalogica

Dermalogica is one of my favorite skin care lines.  From basic essentials to targeted treatments, they offer products for every skin care need.  I could go on and on about this wonderful brand but today, I will fill you in on some of my favorites!

My hands-down, absolute favorite product is Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant.  This unique exfoliant starts as a Rice enzyme powder and is activated with water.  I typically use this in the shower so I don’t have to worry about making a mess.  I shake the product a few times into my hand, add a little water, then rub my hands together to activate it and make a paste.  For best results, our on-site aesthetician recommended that I try mixing Daily Microfoliant and water in a small dish to activate the Rice powder to its most effective potential.  Once activated, apply the product in a circular motion and massage for at least one minute.  After just one use, I remember my skin was so baby soft and actually looked brighter and more even, I couldn’t believe it.  And because the end product has a paste consistency, it wasn’t a harsh or irritating exfoliant.

The Age Smart line from Dermalogica has many great products to target and prevent aging.  Though I don’t have wrinkles yet, I’m definitely concerned with preventing them.  A product I have recently fallen in love with is the Dermalogica Age Smart SkinPerfect Primer SPF 30.  At first, I thought the mousse-like consistency and the medicinal scent were weird.  I quickly learned how amazing this primer really is.  It’s free of artificial fragrances and colors so it provides a light, natural tint and slight shimmer.  It goes on so smooth, and instantly evens out my skin tone and texture.  This is a product that I actually look forward to using every day!  It provides a little extra hydration that my dry skin needs and gives the perfect canvas for makeup.  I even let my mom borrow it and she was amazed that after one use, her usual oily skin looked like her makeup was freshly applied, even after a ten hour day.

Dermalogica also has amazing body products.  My favorite is the Dermalogica Exfoliating Body Scrub.  I feel that my dry, dull skin needs both creamy comfort and a good deep down, scrub.  This refreshing body wash provides both with exfoliating rice bran and papaya enzymes paired with essential oils that hydrate and provide a great pick-me-up – whether in your morning shower or after a long, stressful day.  It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and refreshed.

Bottom line:  From oily and acneic, to dry, aging, sensitive, body or shaving needs, with Dermalogica, you are sure to find something specifically for your skin concerns.
