Summer-proof your Kids' Skin
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!)

How does Nioxin work?
24/04/2010
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.

Nioxin- It's Skin Care for Your Scalp
22/04/2010
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!

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.
