This last month or so has been the time that I have discovered Dermalogica. In December I won a prize on twitter and won the Special Cleansing Gift set, I also pick the Hero Kit set up from What's In My Handbag, here.
I thought I would share with you some of the products from the range I have been loving.
The Special Cleansing Gel is a very gentle gel cleanser which my skin seems to love. I usually use this in the shower to cleanse my skin. As the name suggests it is a thick gel that you apply to damp skin. It doesn't really foam up which I like and leaves you skin feeling clean with out it feeling tight.
Pre Cleanse is an oil cleanser that you use before you main cleanser to remove make up and grime. As you may know I love oil cleansers and this is fast becoming a favourite. I apply it to dry skin and massage in and take it over my eye make up to remove that. I then dampen my hands and massage my skin again which turns the oil into more of a milky consistency. To remove it all I use a flannel. This removed every inch of make up and leaves my skin feeling really clean and smooth.
I am starting to become more a fan of manual exfoliators but was still weary to try out the Skin Prep Scrub as I worry they are going to be too harsh on my skin.This is quite a harsh exfoliator so stay clear if you have sensitive skin but I do like to use occasionally to give my skin a good clean. It definitely leaves you skin very smooth and soft.
Lastly my favourite product of the bunch. The famous Daily Microfoliant. This has been on my radar for years but some reason I have never tried it. This is a powder that you mix with water to create an exfoliating type paste. What surprised me was the fact that is was so gentle and I think you could get away with using this everyday. It contains Salicylic Acid which is great for blemished skin tone and I do think this helps blemishes heel more quickly. Again like the other products this leaves your skin super soft and my moisturiser sinks in lovely afterwards.
Are you a fan of Dermalogica? What products would you recommend?
Hi lovely, I love Dermalogica-I just find it works with my skin. I love the Daily Microfoliant and also the eye cream-Multivitamin Power Firm-its perfect for that sensitive area!
ReplyDeleteI think I have a sample of that some where, I must dig it out. xx
DeleteI'm a big fan of Dermalogica and had their face mapping analysis done! I try and go for a Dermalogica facial every few months too. I use their Dermal Clay Cleanser, Active Moist moisturiser and two of their spot treatments. I found the scrub a little harsh too so I've stopped using it xx
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have one of their facials, they sound fab. x
DeleteI love the Daily Microfoliant too - although hate the price! May have to look into the Pre Cleanse Oil though as I love oil cleansers too and your making me need it haha!

I really love it. x
DeleteI really want to try Dermalogica, is it expensive? x
ReplyDeleteIt is on the more expensive size but if you on What's in my handbag they have a trial set for £10. x
DeleteI have tried the microexfoliant too - shortly after I broke out (seriously, this NEVER happens!). I don't think it was anything to do with the product but I am a bit scared to try it again!
ReplyDeleteoh no, that's a shame. x
DeleteI've never tried any Dermalogica products, but I really want to, they sounds really good :) x
ReplyDeleteI wish I hadn't put it off so long. Highly recommend it. x
DeleteI have just recently starting using dermalogica's products too and I am in love! The Microfoliant is the best exfoliator I have ever used imo :) I am going for a Dermologica facial at the day spa this week, I can't wait.

It is such a great exfoliator. enjoy your facial. x
DeleteI really want to try the Daily Microfoliant - I'm kicking myself I didn't buy a magazine with a sample of it as a freebie a few months ago! Glad to hear you've been enjoying it :)
ReplyDeleteThat's annoying. You should check out what's in my handbag, they had a great set for £10 on there. x
DeleteI have never really tried Dermalogica to be honest (which is a shame!) but that was a lovely post on them!
