Don’t let a skin reaction ruin your cool

Allergic reactions to skin care products are best avoided. The ‘freshly slapped backside look’ will usually occur just before an important date or meeting, leaving you feeling frustrated and embarrassed.

Whilst you can't tell whether your skin will throw a wobbly or not, a little forward thinking could well save the day.

One strategy is to apply the product well before you venture out into society. Gently rubbing your new 'potion' onto some inconspicuous area like the elbow, you'll see if any eruptions are likely. Usually they'll take place within a couple of days and will manifest themselves in a variety of different ways. If you must put something on your face, try somewhere that your hair can hide if the worst happens.

Reacting to skin care products is quite common. Rather than letting your face become a proving ground for all and sundry, we'd suggest that you visit a professional skin care therapist (preferably a Dermalogica one:)). Having conducted a thorough examination of the skin, you can be sure that any products recommended will be suitable your individual skin type.

Double cleanse your way to an oil free complexion

If you've ever wondered what steps you can take to make your cleansing regimen more effective? It might be a good idea to consider double cleansing. Obviously this means cleansing twice, so do you really need to bother? Well if you've done your homework, you'll know that over exfoliating when you have an oily complexion can cause the skin to produce even more oil in order to compensate. Not good if oil is the very thing you are looking to reduce. Double cleansing is a gentle process that softens debris and build up, leaving the skin well prepared for the main cleansing process.

Make up, lipstick, SPF and environmental pollutants can be difficult to remove (especially the waterproof ones) without being harsh on the skin. So what should a pre cleansing product contain then? Well, (amongst other things) oil. Olive oil, apricot kernal and other nut and seed based oils are particularly effective. Rice bran is another. Oils help to soften and liquefy sebum and oil based debris on the skins surface.

So if you'd like to take yourself to a new level of clean, give the double cleanse routine a go.

Whilst we're on the subject of cleansing, check out the Dermalogica video on the science of skincare, and why the ph value of your cleanser is particularly important.
