Dermalogica has the X Factor!

30/11/2009

X Factor judge and mentor Dannii Minogue is one of Australia's hugest exports and is now one of the UK's favourite TV personalities. We are firmly glued to ITV1 at the weekends to view which outfits and hairstyles Dannii is donning, which are as glowing as her skin!

Dannii is a huge fan of Dermalogica and in particular the Special Cleansing Gel, Daily Microfoliant and the WaterBlock Solar Spray SPF 30. Recently she said:

"I always look after my skin. Rule No.1 for an Aussie girl is sun protection. I love Dermalogica WaterBlock Solar Spray SPF 30, and for a flawless skin texture, I'm addicted to Daily Microfoliant. My all time favourite beauty product is Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel. I don't have the time or energy to follow a complicated skin regime with a hundred different products. This is my fail-safe, all-in-one way to remove make up and get my skin feeling smooth and soft!"

Dermalogica - The Moment Your Skin Changed. Forever.
Dermalogica is the number one choice of skin care professionals and consumers worldwide. For over 25 years they have been dedicated to delivering skin health results through education, innovation, and professional recommendation, not through advertising, frilly packaging, promises of miracle cures, or overblown hype. When Dermalogica meets skin, skin health is redefined.

Education First
While the Dermalogica story begins in 1986, the force of change in the industry started in Los Angeles, circa 1983. Jane Wurwand, a United Kingdom-trained skin therapist new to the American “esthetician” industry, recognised that continuing skin and body therapy education was practically non-existent in the United States. While her training had been comprehensive and serious, US students entered the industry licensed yet under-trained, and worse, under-respected. Jane put her education in action, opening a small classroom in California under the name The International Dermal Institute (IDI). She invited licensed skin therapists to get hands-on with the postgraduate training so critical to making them competitive in the business. Today, IDI is considered the international gold-standard for postgraduate skin and body therapy training with over 40 locations worldwide.


The Making of Dermalogica
While teaching at IDI, it didn’t take long for Jane to realise no product line embraced her belief of skin health as opposed to “beauty,” so she developed her own. And in 1986, Dermalogica was born. The vision was clear – a product line free of common irritants and ingredients that could cause breakouts (including lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colours and fragrances) that would improve skin health, and were only available from qualified skin therapy professionals trained at The International Dermal Institute. As a brand, Dermalogica immediately upset the prevailing paradigm of beauty and glamour by classifying skin care as a health issue as opposed to a cosmetic concern. Just as they removed common irritants from the ingredient menu, Dermalogica also introduced a powerful new element into the brand identity: the specialized expertise of the professional skin therapist. Then, as now, all their products are manufactured in the USA, they have never taken part in animal testing, and Dermalogica is sold only where professional consultation and professional treatments are performed by professional skin therapists. In just over 20 years, Dermalogica has become the number one choice of skin care professionals worldwide, prescribed more often than any other product available.

We’re Not Pretty. (Or beautiful. Or pampering. Or luxury.)
Dermalogica are far too interested in guiding you to a new level of skin health fitness! So, while the packaging may not be designed to colour-coordinate with your bathroom, you can always be sure that Dermalogica spent their time on delivering your skin the high-performance formulas it needs. Plus, they’ll never use common “beauty” ingredients like Mineral Oil, Lanolin, artificial colours and fragrances or other cheap fillers. Sure, it’s easier to formulate with them, but the bottom line is they’re just bad for your skin. Instead, they use ingredients that we know will work – their confidence founded by skin care professionals like Donna Maisey Skin Care and therapists worldwide who use the products in our treatment rooms every day because we get results. Now that you know the story, it’s time to explore the story of your skin. Dermalogica - the product regimen that will change skin health forever!
We love Dermalogica and we know that you will too!

SKIN AGING

02/06/2009

SKIN AGING AND DERMALOGICA AGE SMART

Q: Can skin aging be reversed?
A: No matter what you hear, what you read, or what you want to believe, skin aging cannot be reversed. But there are steps you can take to control the situation.
The appearance and signs of skin aging can be minimized, and further skin aging can be controlled. New scientific research has uncovered ingredients that work on a biochemical level to control skin aging, all while minimizing current signs of skin aging. Some of these ingredients include antioxidant vitamins C and E, Glucosamine, peptides, Lactic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, and of course, daily use of an SPF. Take a look at Dermalogica AGE Smart.


Q: What are free radicals?
A: Free radicals are responsible for skin aging in the form of wrinkles, breakdown in collagen and elastin, and inflammation.
Also known as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), free radicals are highly reactive, unstable molecules that attack and steal from stable molecules. Unstable means the free radicals don’t have an even number of electrons, and are constantly in search of an extra electron to steal to become stable. For every free radical that “steals” from a stable molecule, another free radical is formed, causing a cascade of free radical formation. Fortunately, antioxidants (Vitamins C and E) can help stop the free radical cascade and control this trigger of skin aging.

Q: Why is collagen important in skin?
A: Collagen is a protein produced in the body that connects, supports, and helps give firmness and strength to the body's tissues.
By the time we reach our 30th birthday, we will start to lose 1% of collagen with each subsequent birthday. Collagen production slows as we age, which impacts the skin’s ability to repair itself, triggering a loss of elasticity. Because of collagen’s role in firmer, taut skin, many skin aging products include ingredients that help stimulate collagen production.

Q: What's the difference between intrinsic aging and extrinsic aging?
A: The signs of skin aging are caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
Intrinsic aging is the normal, genetic process of physical change over time, and begins the minute we’re born. Extrinsic aging is aging caused by external factors like our environment and lifestyle.


Some of the products your professional skin therapist may prescribe will include:

Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser :
A dual-action exfoliating cleanser that smoothes, retexturizes, and delivers ultra-clean skin

It's no exaggeration to say that the sun is potentially your skin's worst enemy. In fact, skin cancer, largely caused by unprotected exposure to the sun's damaging UV rays, is the most prevalent form of cancer in the world, affecting one in five people. And it's on the rise - recent studies suggest that depletion of the earth's ozone layer makes shielding the skin more important than ever. Even if you are not a sunbather, your skin is still bombarded on a daily basis. Driving to work. Walking the dog. Even sitting under indoor lighting. Sun protection should be on your skin every day as part of your skin care routine. Thanks to years of research, even the most sensitized individuals, often the ones most at risk from the sun - can get the protection that they need. Using super-fine milled Titanium Dioxide particles, UltraSensitive Face Block SPF25 and SuperSensitive Faceblock SPF30 reflects the sun's damaging rays without the need for chemicals. Solar Defense Booster is a sunblock supplement specifically formulated to add full spectrum protection to your favourite moisturiser or make-up. Or, it may be used alone for maximum SPF30 protection. Dermalogica's Solar Defense System is formulated without any comodegenic ingredients. For a limited time, you can Buy One get One FREE on selected Dermalogica Daylight Defense With free postage and packing and free samples this is a great opportunity to increase your range of Dermalogica products.
