I've been asked to do a blog about the skincare products that I use. Being a former acne-sufferer I think it's important that I share my secret with the world. A daily skincare routine really has helped revamp my skin.
I used to be self conscious about acne as well as the marks they left behind so I masked my entire face, day in, day out with A LOT of MAC make up. Which does work, but is not always the way forward. As much as make up can help hide our exterior self, it does nothing for our self esteem once the make up removers come out.
Last summer, I went on a complete detox (from make up) and let my skin breathe for the first time. Take in some sun rays and changed my entire skincare range. I used to think it was perfectly fine to just use a make up wipes and remove all the make up from my face! Believe me that's not the case at all, maybe we can't see it but the make up is still there.
However I am guilty for not drinking enough water. But I compensate with overdose on sleep. Sleep naturally helps regenerate our skin so make sure you do get plenty of it. But also a day to day reliable skincare range is important. My secret - Dermalogica. It really did help save my skin!

| Dermalogica Microfoliant |
Dermalogica microfoliant - I use this in the morning as soon as I wake up. It's in a powder form which you blend with water and massage over your face for about a minute. It helped brighten my skin, and evenmy skin tone from all those dark marks created from acne.
 |
| Dermalogica Active Moisturiser |
Because I still wear make up I need to make sure that the make up comes off fully before I go to bed and that I've cleansed, toned and used the right products to prevent my break outs.
 |
| Dermalogica Precleanse |
Dermalogica Precleanse - to remove all the make up from my face. Just put some of this onto a cotton pad and wipe all the make up from your face before cleansing.
 |
| Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel |
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel - I <3 this stuff! I have the biggest bottle in my bathroom & it has lasted me for ages. Just squeeze some onto your hand and massage it onto your face then rinse with warm water.
 |
| Dermalogica Multi Active Toner |
Then just tone and moisturise again.
 |
| Dermalogica Overnight Clearing Gel |
Dermalogica Overnight Clearing Gel - Because I'm prone to break outs. A small dose of this on my spots or spots that are about to appear just prevents/helps get rid of it that much quicker :) it's a miracle!
I hope you guys enjoy this. Test it. Have a go. :) Let me know how you get on.

you're such a dermological freakk,
ReplyDeletexD It's face food! I need it!
ReplyDeleteYou should try using it! You'll love it!
Are these products expensive?
ReplyDeleteThey are affordable. I tend to buy mine from http://www.pure-beauty.co.uk/ - they provide cheaper prices than the RRP & also give samples for other dermalogica products.
ReplyDeleteI loveddd what you said about when you remove the makeup it does nothing for your confidence kinda thing
ReplyDeleteThats me now. Trust me my skins so bad, and i wear so much makeup! my cheeks look orange most days haha and i update it atleast twice a day - if i stay round my bf's ill sleep in my makeup cos im too concious of myself without it
We masque ourselves to hide ourselves from the world, because we're afraid of what the feedback may be - this is understandable. Everyone puts up a front strong enough for everybody else to believe that they are secure, but really we're breaking down inside.
ReplyDeleteThe most important thing is to feel happy in your own skin. As much as this is a cliche: being happy really does make you feel better about yourself. Just make sure that your skin is healthy - eat properly, drink regularly and make sure that you cleanse, cleanse cleanse. Don't stay up late nights and wake up early mornings because it really will take a toll on your skin.
I'm going to convince my mother to buy me this, your skin looks extremely healthy and it looks so smooth... what shops can i buy it from ??
ReplyDelete:) Thank you! In Ipswich, you can buy it from Image Beauty Salon. It's close to town and easy to access. What you should do is go in there and get your skin mapped so they can tell you what Dermalogica products are best for your skin :)
ReplyDeleteI'm actually have skin problems myself. After having flawless skin and not wearing makeup for my 18 years, I am horrified now a few spots are appearing on my face. I will definitely try out this skincare range. Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteOoh cool but i live in London :/ so is there a way you could give me their link, to see where else they're located in the UK : ))
ReplyDeleteMany salon's promote it, if not Westfield have a counter on the 1st floor for dermalogica products :)
