New Year, New Skincare! It may be the end of January but give a girl a chance I've had to have adequate time to try this skincare. Dermalogica is one of those brands that I've always wanted to try but never have gotten round to actually trying; even when I had my skin mapped by them at a beauty roadshow I was yet to try them. So when I got sent these complimentary from Influenster I was very happy. Dermalogica is one of the most respected brands worldwide by beauty professionals as it isn't just about beauty it's about skin health and providing the best for your skin. The ingredients in their products are specially formulated and chosen to give you optimum skin health. All the products within this post have no artificial colours or fragrances as well as being either vegan or vegetarian and cruelty free; so I'm going to share with you my thoughts on these skincare products. This post is in collaboration with Influenster and Dermalogica. STEP ONE (AND A HALF) : cLEANSE.To begin, I'm going to talk about the Special Cleansing Gel and the PreCleanse Balm (which is the half step). The precleanse balm is a balm to oil emulsifier. So basically it changes consistency to then help melt away makeup and impurities as part of a double cleanse routine. The smooth formula is applied onto dry skin either with fingers or the cleansing mitt to smooth and nourish the skin. It comes in to different sizes, the smaller retails at £8 and comes with the small cleansing mitt pictured which is perfect if you're a little unsure and first want to try it out and the larger retails at £44 for 90ml and comes with a bigger cleansing mitt. Personally I am a huge fan of this product as it melts away your makeup so doesn't feel like an extra step in my skincare routine, also whenever I've used this my skin feels 10x cleaner than when I haven't - however if like me you having normal-oily skin and aren't too keen on introducing a balm into your routine there is a precleanse that is designed for oily skin compared to the balm which is designed more for normal to dry skin.. The Special Cleansing gel is the main step and is suitable for all skin types. The soap-free formula has mint and lavender in it to relax and calm the skin without stripping it of all the moisture. I've loved this cleanser and notice that it has made a huge difference to the look and feel of my skin without bringing that tightening feeling that some cleansers can bring. This product comes in three sizes: £10.50 for 50ml, £32 for 250ml and £52.50 for 500ml. This cleanser has now become one of my must have skincare products as I can continue to use it all year round and know my skin will be in good hands. STEP TWO : SUPERFOLIATE.Exfoliation is something that I have never really been great at which isn't ideal when you have acne prone skin - I've always been the lazy girl when it comes to my skincare routine (you know the saying when less is more). Part of that is because as a teenager it always just felt like a chore I couldn't be bothered to do and part of that is because whatever skincare I used on my face, nothing seemed to clear up my face. However know I'm in my 20s I realise the true importance of skincare, however I've had the most difficult time finding an exfoliator that I can get on with. You know, one that will clear your face without making it super red and angry. THEN ALONG CAME THE SUPERFOLIANT. Dermalogica's super exfoliant is an anti-pollution powder with active ingredients that purify and protect the skin. Dermalogica recommend using this every other day if you have sensitive skin, however I've been using it three times a week and that seems to be perfect for me. The powder is made into a paste using water which actives the ingredients to clear out impurities, and resurface skin to create the most smooth skin that is protected against environmental pollutions. Since using this my skin has felt smoother than ever and that's coming from a girl who has acne scarring. This product again comes in two different sizes: £17 for 13g and £55 for 57g. STEP THREE: MOISTURISE.Moisturisers have always been my favourite piece of skincare because they always make your skin feel hydrated and fresh, I think I own about 8 moisturisers currently that I'm working my way through. However, I've never actually found one that I like quite as much as the Dermalogica skin smoothing cream, like I've said before I have acne prone skin so my skin sometimes can feel bumpy and just generally drab. However since using this moisturiser I've found my skin to be the smoothest it has ever been and also more glowing than usual. The skin smoothing cream is great for most skin types and in particular those with combination skin as it soothes and hydrates as well as protecting against pollution. Personally much like the cleanser this has become a permanent member of my skincare routine as it makes my skin feel amazing and also makes me feel more confident with my skin. This also comes in two sizes: £36 for 50ml and £54 for 100ml. I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purpose but they are some of the best skincare products that I am ever used and are definitely going to continue to be permanent fixtures in my skincare routine. Although they aren't your typical drugstore prices I've thought for the past few years that skincare is something to invest in and for a brand that is trusted by beauty and skincare professionals I think the price for these products is pretty good. Dermalogica seem to have a product for everyone and I can't wait to try some more of there products out!
