Quenching Summers Thirst with Dermalogica

2010-05-01T08:56:00.005+01:00

What do we all have in common in the summer? Yes it's the return of the thirsty, moisture-starved skin, compliments of crash diets, air conditioning, travel and too many mojitos! If you’ve always heard summer skin isn’t as dry as it is in the winter, you’re correct. So why does skin feel so tight? The answer: your skin may actually be dehydrated.

First things first: dry skin, or allipoid skin, generally refers to skin that is lacking in oil.

Dehydrated skin is characterized by lack of moisture (water).

Even oily skin can experience dehydration, as dehydration is a lack of water in skin – not oil. This means sebaceous activity can still be normal or even overactive in dehydrated skin. Now you know the difference – so it’s time to cure thirsty skin:

While your first instinct screams for the heavier cream, you could be left with breakouts during warmer months when perspiration levels are higher. Instead, layer a feather-light, fast-absorbing hydrating fluid beneath your current moisturizer or sunscreen – Skin Hydrating Booster is our top pick.

Spritz all day, every day with Multi-Active Toner –in the morning before moisturizing, as an afternoon refresher at your desk, in the car on your way to the gym… it’s hydrating, absorbs quickly, and won’t leave behind a greasy residue.

Three times a week, calm, soothe and help reduce dehydration with Skin Hydrating Masque. On hot days, intensify cooling benefits by chilling in the fridge for 5 minutes before you apply.

While you always wear your sunscreen, it is possible to get caught by the day’s rays. The damage is done, but the recovery can be quickened. Trust After Sun Repair to take down redness and inflammation while cooling skin. After Sun Repair is also a summer must-have for post-waxing sessions!

Give skin a boost by treating it right from the inside out. Drink at least eight 8-ounces of plain, filtered water every day.

If you’re a fan of coffee, tea or fizzy drinks, balance out the consumption with 3 extra glasses of water.

Don’t forget about wonderful, water-rich fruits and vegetables including watermelon, apples, grapes, broccoli and blueberries to boost hydration.

Summer-proof your Kids' Skin

2010-04-27T08:28:00.003+01:00

For kids:
Shield your kids from sun damage: Keeping kids sun safe doesn’t have to be a goopy, globby mess! Kid-friendly spray Dermalogica WaterBlock Solar Spray SPF30 (offering very water resistant protection for up to 80 minutes) and sunscreen-infused towelettes Daily Defense Wipes SPF15 get sunscreen applied fast and get them back in the action. Re-apply when going to and from water and outside activities.

Starting at an early age is key: keep newborns out of the sun. Once your newborn hits 6 months, you can apply sunscreen. Opt for chemical free sunscreen defense Super Sensitive FaceBlock SPF30 – it shields with Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide.

Apply before heading out: Chemical based sunscreens need time to activate with skin: applying when you’re already under the sun equates to exposure time! Apply sunscreen liberally and generously 30 minutes before leaving the house.

And for you…
Don’t skimp on cleansing… sunscreens are designed to adhere to skin and sit on the surface –meaning yucky build-up and the potential for breakouts. Get skin double clean: start with PreCleanse, our water-soluble plant oil-based cleanser that cuts through dirt, sunscreens, make-up -- even waterproof mascara! – and lifts it away so your prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser can get to cleaning what matters most – your skin!

Keep skin hydrated and moist – driving around with the roof down, vacationing in different climates and sitting in an air-conditioned environment sucks every drop of moisture out of your skin. Lock in hydration with Multi-Active Toner after cleansing and before moisturizing. Even pick up a travel-size to spritz on skin throughout the day!

Exfoliate! It buffs away dry, dulling skin cells to maximize benefits of hydrating products! But don’t reach for high-foaming, highly fragranced shower products that can further dry skin. Choose Exfoliating Body Scrub, or dispense soap-free Conditioning Body Wash into The Ultimate Buffing Cloth for convenient all over scrubbing (especially for hard-to-reach places like the back!)

Don't Forget your Eyes!

2010-04-26T11:35:00.004+01:00

How does Nioxin work?

2010-04-24T10:14:00.002+01:00

Nioxin is a deep-scalp-cleaning system and can very simply replace your daily hair washing routine.

Deep Scalp-cleaning systems: With no side effects and lots of benefits, deep scalp-cleaning treatments are a great way to go. In essence, these products concentrate on the "root" of hair loss - the scalp. With little effort on your part, they go to work on making your scalp a clean and comfortable place for new hair to grow while also reversing the effects of DHT and other scalp conditions. Most of these products are topical treatments and can also double as your daily shampoo and conditioner. Three simple steps are all that is needed.

1. Cleanse and detoxify the follicle.
2. Moisturise the scalp to encourage healthy cell renewal.
3. Nourish the hair roots with a leave-on treatment.

As the product works to make the scalp a healthier environment, it eliminates toxins from the surface which includes the toxins from medications. Research shows Nioxin reduces the amount of natural daily hair loss and keeps the hair that you have in healthy condition for longer periods of time. For example, hair grows in 3 stages, faster growing hair, slower growing hair and resting hair. We also have more than one papilla in each follicle from which a hair may grow. Nioxin will keep the hair and follicle healthy which results in the hair remaining in the Anagen or faster growing stage longer. This may result in 2 or 3 papilla being active at any one time and therefore you may have 2 or 3 hairs growing from the same follicle which will give your hair a thicker appearance.

John Masters Organics Hair Products

2010-04-23T09:03:00.001+01:00

It’s about this time of year – every year – when the combination of dry heated air, hats and wind just seems to suck the life out of your hair. Where once there was bounce, now there’s just flatness; waves, curls and any kind of kick you managed to work into it in the morning have been literally flattened by the time your mid-morning coffee break rolls around…

Finally a solution has presented itself, and it not only solves the problem of hair that’s had just a little too much winter, but it gives you a reminder that spring and summer are just around the corner. Sea Mist from John Masters Organics. Spritz on your hair wherever you needs a little volume and texture, and the salty mix goes to work.

Nioxin- It's Skin Care for Your Scalp

2010-04-22T09:15:00.000+01:00

NIOXIN is considered the most advanced product for improving fine or thinning hair quality. Its ability to remove DHT from the scalp skin and then help protect hair follicles from chemical deterioration is unsurpassed. The primary cause of hair loss and follicle deterioration is dihydrotestosterone but, diet, pollution, radiation, stress, medication and other factors reduce hair quality and increase hair loss. NIOXIN is a system designed to improve the environment of the scalp for fuller, thicker, healthier hair. NIOXIN is not a drug, contains no harmful chemicals and is safe for all ages to use and benefit from.
The NIOXIN range of products is designed to be just as beneficial to people who want to maintain a healthy head of hair, as it is to those already concerned with the problem of increasingly fine, fragile or thinning hair.
The NIOXIN range is a system committed to the science of living hair.

Choose the Nioxin system that is right for you!

Here Comes The Sun

2010-04-22T09:03:00.004+01:00

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 sensitised 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 reflects the sun's damaging rays without the need for chemicals. Solar Defense Booster from Dermalogica 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 Daylight Defense System is formulated without any comodegenic ingredients

Keratosis Pilaris - the symptoms and solutions

2010-04-21T18:22:00.002+01:00

Keratosis pilaris as you may know is a very common condition, appearing usually on the outer edge of the upper arms. Keratosis pilaris is quite harmless and does not cause any symptoms. There are numerous rough follicular spots, which may be skin coloured, red or brown. Often keratosis pilaris also occurs on the thighs and cheeks, and less often on the forearms and upper back. It is most obvious during the teenage years.

The condition tends to be more severe during the winter months or other times of low humidity when skin dries out. It can disappear for years, or appear for the first time in adult life.

The precise cause has yet to be determined, although it is thought to be a disorder of keratinisation in which the sticky cells that line the hair follicle form a horny plug instead of exfoliating. This widens the pores making them appear more obvious than elsewhere. Often a curled hair can be identified under the skin.

My recommendations to you would be to use a body wash that does not include soap. Dermalogica's Conditioning Body Wash is ideal. Moisturise twice a day and always apply moisturiser within 3 minutes of having a bath or shower for maximum benefits. Dermalogica's Body Hydrating Cream is excellent for you as it contains hydroxy acids, which will dissolve the inter-cellular glue that holds the dead skin cells together and the fruit enzymes of papaya and papain will digest the keratinised cells.

Looking for Nioxin, Nailtiques, Jessica and TIGI?

2010-03-30T15:17:00.004+01:00

Looking for all our other brands such as Nioxin, Nailtiques, Jessica, TIGI and Joico? Don't panic, you can find them all at our newest website http://www.donnamaiseyskincare.co.uk/ along with some new additions which we think you will like!

Bring the bounce back to your curls

2010-02-01T19:29:00.004Z

Lots of the team at Donna Maisey Skin Care have curly hair and over the last couple of weeks we have been putting a range of curly hair mousses and serums to the test.

Over recent years we have found that sleeping with your hair in a loose bun helps to preserve the curls and keep those knots away. Also using a leave in conditioner spray such as the Tigi Catwalk Fast-Fixx helps give your hair the moisture that it may be missing and springs lifeless curls back into action.

After testing different curly haired ranges the number 1 recommendation from Donna Maisey is the Foxy Curls Extreme Curl Mousse from the TIGI Bed Head range. Marketing Assistant Rebecca says "This mousse gives my hair great definition whilst keeping it soft. It doesn't leave a concrete effect that gels often have".

The Foxy Curls Extreme Curl Mousse brings volume to hair and especially good for creatively styling your hair for both day styles and a night out on the tiles.

Go on, bring out your inner "foxy"!

So are your hands worth looking after?

2010-01-14T13:05:00.005Z

During the winter months our skin can be really affected by the extreme weather conditions and combine this with central heating it can cause sensitivity and dehydration on the face. But what about your hands?

Do you find yourself not using hand creams or buying anything that is on offer to help hydrate and keep the dryness at bay?

Do these creams that you buy for your hands actually work? Or do you find yourself buying a different hand cream because the last one you brought did not make any difference? Even worse do you use so much that you have finished the hand cream that you brought in one week?

Multi Vitamin Hand and Nail Treatment is a treatment designed by Dermalogica not only to nourish and hydrate the skin on the hands but also the nails.

This silky non greasy formula instantly absorbs into the skin and does not leave a residue on the skin. The botanicals and vitamins will help to repair and protect chapped hands, whilst strengthening nails against splitting and peeling.

Licorice helps to calm and soothe the skin and our hands can become very sore and dry so this ingredient will help to take down redness and calm the skin.

Vitamins A,C and E not only help to protect the skin, but Vitamins A and C help stimulate collagen production in the skin, and if you look at anyone's hands that is how you can tell their real age!

Grapefruit and Algae help to hydrate and nourish dry hands.

So are your hands worth looking after? I think so!

Beautiful winter lips

2010-01-07T14:12:00.005Z

With a winder wonderland outside many of us have taken the opportunity to take the kids out on the sledges, have some leisurely walks with the dogs through the snowy fields or just enjoy the beautiful scenery. Yet at the same time many of us are suffering with dry chapped lips - which can take weeks to heal!

It is imperative to care for your lips all year round, but especially in the winter as this is when the most damage occurs! So here are the top tips from Donna Maisey Skin Care to keep your pout sparkling through the winter season!

1) Use a targeted lip treatment. We love Dermalogica's Climate Control Lip Treatment which protects your lips from dryness, redness and chapping with an environmental shield of Anti-Ozonate Complex, Shea Butter, Oat Extract and Vitamin E. You can use this treatment over any area where skin is thinner or more prone to dehydration.

2) If the corners of your mouth are chapped, you may have a lack of riboflavin, which are found in foods such as green vegetables and dairy products.

3) Make sure you drink plenty of water - 8 fluid ounces each day. Water and water rich fruit and veggies including watermelon, grapes, apples, blueberries and broccoli all boost hydration.

4) Skin Hydrating Masque is a refreshing gel masque for all skin conditions, but also helps target common dry areas including the eye area and lips.

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

2009-06-02T12:53:00.000+01:00

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

Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Concentrate :
Concentrated vitamins A, C and E help reverse the signs of aging and fight skin-damaging free radicals

Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery :
Firm, hydrate, and defend against skin aging with this emollient SPF moisturizer

Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque :
Soothe, calm and help skin recover from damage with this antioxidant-rich masque

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.

Nioxin - Our scalp is an extension of our facial skin.

We treat our facial skin with products like Dermalogica to prevent the effects of aging. In much the same way, the scalp must be treated properly to maintain a healthy scalp environment and keep hair healthy-looking and strong. And like facial skin, the scalp is susceptible to everything we come into contact with every day — things of which most of us may not be aware. Toxins, air pollutants, chlorine, sunlight, minerals and water pollution can affect the scalp skin and contribute to the problem of thinning hair. For example, excessive exposure to sunlight allows harmful UV rays to penetrate the skin including our scalp. This causes skin cells to age, which thickens the scalp skin contributing to follicle instability.

Most shampoos, conditioners and styling products are formulated to clean, condition and support styling of the hair fiber/strand. Unfortunately, many of these products have damaging alcohols and PVP film formers that coat the hair and create buildup on the scalp. In some cases, buildup can clog the follicle and may further aggravate the overall problems associated with thin-looking hair.

Chances are you take pretty good care of your face. You would never use a bar of soap on it, nor would you step out of the bathroom wtihout toning, moisturising and applying a protective dose of sunscreen.

But what about the rest of you? Think your arms, chest and legs don't deserve that same attention? Think again! Body therapy is as ancient as Greek thermaes and Turkish Baths. During this era, spa meant "health through water" However, through expansion and accessibility, the word "spa" has become synonymous with luxury and pampering. In fact, check out any body lotions or shower gels you may have in your home and you'll notice that very little mention is made of any health benefits to skin.

What does this all mean? It's simple - just because our facial skin may be more delicate than any other place on our bodies, that doesn't mean the scrubbing, soaping, shaving and exposure to UV rays and overall abuse performed beyond the neckline is acceptable! Our bodies can experience the same skin conditions as out faces (including acne, dry skin and sensitivity) and require the same targeted, results-driven treaments and regimes we give our faces. Never has this been more important with the onset of autum, so really give your skin that extra protection and lock in some humidity. Dermalogica's Conditioning Body Wash with it's purifying essential oils and Quillaja Saponaria cleanse the body without over-drying, followed by Body Hydrating Cream that will retexturise your skin, gently smoothing away dull, rough debris while essential plant oils deeply condition for supple skin that begs to be touched! For really intensive results, try mixing adding few drops of Stress Relief Treatment Oil.

You can find all Dermalogica's Body Therapy products on our website.

Not long to go now! September will see the launch of our new website and the much awaited new line from Dermalogica - MediBac Clearing™

Dermalogica's new mediBac Clearing System is formulated specifically to treat adult acne. Each product, with its unique acne-fighting and clearing ingredients, is designed to be layered upon the skin to provide around-the-clock, maximum control of the four main factors that contribute to acne: overactive sebaceous glands; dead skin cell accumulation; bacteria and inflammation.

My current 'cant get enough product' is the Concealing Spot Treatment; An intense treatment with a natural-looking tint that quickly targets, conceals and helps clear breakouts and is ideal for day time use.

MediBac Clearing™ from Dermalogica - it's the end of the line for adult acne.

Until next time...
