I think it’s safe to say, in the UK we have just about had enough of this rain! We appreciate that we need a bit of rain for the garden but a little break every now and again wouldn’t hurt! We can hope, or even dream that warm sultry evenings sipping Margarita’s in the garden are still to come. Fingers crossed we can still wear the new strapless dress we bought and take the opportunity to show off our summer ready skin.

At the moment these summer dreams seem worlds away but when the sunshine does decide to make an appearance the British instinct is to strip off…but it is vital that you prepare your skin before exposing it, either at home or abroad.

Every moment we are exposed to daylight (not just sunlight) adds up and is stored by the skin and 5 or 10 years down the line we look in the mirror in shock and ask what on earth has happened to our skin! Skins damaged by UV may exhibit symptoms from mild prickly heat and erythema to wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation and premature ageing.  It also carries the potential for Skin Cancer which has become a global phenomenon, getting an increasing number of column inches in all the papers! Over one million new cases are diagnosed every year and the number of reported cases has more than doubled in the past 20 years. Over 2,000 people die from skin cancer each year in the United Kingdom. We are also seeing an increase in pigmentation patches in younger individuals, often suggested to be further exacerbated by the contraceptive pill, stress and artificially-fragranced products.

Prepare your skin by exfoliating, moisturising and protecting, you can ensure that your dull, pale winter skin will become smooth, bright and healthy for the coming months – no matter how the weather behaves. And remember, UV causes up to 90% of skin ageing so stay protected – leather handbag skin isn’t a good look!

Research conducted recently at The International Dermal Institute highlights that most women only spend about 20 seconds on washing their face. This means most are walking through the world with dirty skin.  Like, truly dirty skin! Consider how much time you spend on hair and make-up in the morning … and only 20 seconds to prepare your skin for the day, or to purify and refresh it at the end of a long day! We think that deserves an ‘ewwwww’.

Unfortunately with smog, grime and long lasting make-up a 20 second splash of water just won’t cut it. Our skin is actually now “dirtier” than it was in our mother’s and grandmother’s time, thanks to the presence of environmental pollutants and long-wearing, non-smudging make-up.

A splash of water and 20 seconds with your cleanser can’t penetrate the layer of oil-based debris that coats the skin’s surface. In fact, even a more thorough cleansing with a surfactant- based cleanser won’t fully melt down this barrier. What we really need to do is say hello to the double cleanse. The double cleanse has been part of the professional skin treatment for many years, it’s time we all shared its dramatic results! The first cleanse will remove impurities and surface dirt while the second cleanse will really clean and cleanse the skin.

So for a professional clean at home, to really have the healthiest glowing skin just try dedicating a little time to your skin every day. Unfortunately unlike the latest fashion we can’t just update our skin, it’s with us forever so definitely worth the investment. Just think… how clean is your skin really?

I’m really pleased to share that Dermalogica® have won an award in the Guild Awards Of Excellence for Best Skincare Supplier!

The Guild Awards of Excellence are different to many industry awards because they are decided by the professional skin therapist, the people who actually use the products and utilise the support. There is no judging panel, so every vote made is by the people that really count!

The Guild’s brief for the award was “great service, attention to detail, understanding your needs, going the extra mile, or something else which makes you want to carry on placing your business with that supplier”

We are incredibly proud and would like to thank all of you for your continued support and loyalty to Dermalogica . Our aim is to lead the way with our products, education support and most of all the service we provide to our valued stockists, and to be recognised by you demonstrates what we are achieving.

The results will appear in the May/June issue of Guild Gazette and can be found online now.

Eyes are a strong communication tool and are often referred to as ‘the window to our soul’. However there are some communication signals we are less happy for our eyes to reveal such as stress, fatigue and ageing. We would much rather our eyes told everyone we are youthful, vibrant and healthy!

The skin around the eyes is thinner and produces less oil, therefore requires a specialist product designed for their specific concerns. Look for products that contain an SPF for daytime use. Dehydration can lead to fine lines and puffiness, so use a hydrating cream specifically formulated for the eyes. Total Eye Care SPF15 instantly smooth’s fine lines and diminishes dark circles. The US Oprah Magazine says “A beach essential that blocks rays while smoothing skin and brightening dark shadows”

Take care to use cooler water when removing eye make-up, and don’t be too heavy handed with this delicate skin. Many of the eye make-up removers on the market today contain a variety of ingredients which cause harmful, long term damage to the skin.

Emphasis is often placed upon quick and effective removal at the cost of caring for the vital skin around the eyes. This important care step is often omitted and left to the after care products.

Plastic surgeons attempting to remove puffiness and bags have discovered that long-term use of products such as petroleum jelly and baby lotion containing mineral oil cause this particular ingredient to accumulate and become lodged underneath the tissues in this region.

Dermalogica’s Soothing Eye Make-Up Remover has been specially designed to quickly and effectively remove all traces of eye and lip make-up. Its silky smooth gel formulation is pH balanced to the delicate eye area in order to avoid the discomfort commonly associated with multi-purpose removers. It also contains silk proteins, which soften, smooth and condition the skin around the eye and lip area, and promote the growth of longer, fuller lashes.
