Quenching Summers Thirst with Dermalogica

01/05/2010


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

27/04/2010

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!)

Prepare to Bare

24/04/2010

Say Goodbye to rough, dry skin and Hello to smoother, softer skin with Dermalogica's Exfoliating Body Scrub. Designed for all skin conditions, this creamy, lightly foaming body scrub will dramatically smooth, polish and energise your skin! Fig, Date and Olive seed powders gently remove dead and dulling cells. Rice Bran and Papaya Enzymes slough off impurities and stimulate cell renewal. Purifying essential oils of Lavender, Orange, Sandalwood and Rosemary condition and invigorate the body while awakening the senses.

How does it work?
- Removes dead, dulling cells leaving skin smoother with a polished appearance.
- Stimulates cell renewal to give skin a fresh look and feel.
- Massaging action energizes skin and purifying essential oils invigorate the senses.
- Prepares the skin for maximum hydration and absorption of essential ingredients.

Which Dermalogica moisturiser is right for you?


Super rich repair: a super-emollient, heavy-weight cream that replenishes skin with critical hydration while stimulating collagen production to smooth fine lines and improve elasticity and tone. Recommended for chronically dry, dehydrated and prematurely-ageing skin conditions.
Intensive Moisture Balance: a rich phytonutrient moisturiser that helps retexturise skin while vitamins and humectants restore moisture. Recommended for drier skin conditions , and those exhibiting first signs of ageing.
Skin Smoothing Cream: a medium-weight moisturiser designed to improve skin texture by smoothing fine dehydration lines and relieving tightness. Recommended for normal to drier skin conditions.
Active Moist: a light-weight moisturiser that actively combats surface dehydration while smoothing skin's surface. Recommended for normal to oilier skin conditions.
Oil Control Lotion: a feather-light, oil-free lotion with oil-absorbing Microsponge technology that eliminates shine for hours. Recommended for skin prone to excess oil production and breakouts.
Barrier Repair: A waterless, silicone-based moisturiser that melts into skin, helping to soothe damage from environmental aggressors. Recommended for environmentally-sensitised skin conditions.

Keratosis Pilaris - the symptoms and solutions

21/04/2010

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.

So are your hands worth looking after?

14/01/2010


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!

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

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

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.

For nearly twenty years, Nioxin have worked at the complex challenge of how best to address,and how to provide a solution for fine and thin-looking hair for the millions who battle this discouraging problem. Their world-renowned team of Nioxin researchers have developed the most advanced, natural-based system to improve the appearance of fine and thinning hair — Nioxin® Thinning Hair Systems. Nioxin comes in four systems.

Each system represents a different type of hair and you simply decide which category you fit into!

Donna Maisey Skin Care is an authorised stockist and carries the full range of Nioxin products at discounted prices with FREE delivery.

Until next time...

Donna
