Dear Dermalogica Lady:
I just got home from a rough day at the office. I’m a fashion designer and you wouldn’t believe the pressure! As I was running into yet another meeting this morning, my face started to break out in hives. (That happens when I’m nervous.) What do you recommend to calm me down?
Signed,
Stressful Sara
Dear Stressful:
Three words. UltraCalming Mist ©. Just saying the name to yourself as you scoop up the bottle is likely to start the de-stressing process.
OK. So you made it home safe and sound. Now drop that portfolio case. Head right for the shower. Place the UltraCalming Mist © where you’ll see it when you come out of the stall or tub.
Don’t make the water too hot…that’ll enervate you and it sounds as if you could use a little gentle soothing. Am I right? OK. I see you nodding your head. So stay in there for no more than five minutes. You don’t want to wrinkle your skin!
Now step out of the shower. Remove the see-through cap. Tilt the container towards your face. Spritz. Hmmm. You’ll inhale the subtlest hint of a few of the botanicals that UltraCalming Mist © is made with. Radish roots, avena sativa (oat kernel extract), ginger, aloe…
UltraCalming Spritz © contains a brand new, especially developed formula called the “UltraCalming Complex” © which actually goes to work on itchy allergies and irritations.
And while you’re protecting your skin’s moisture, you’re treating and healing the red, inflamed spots. (Nature made aloe and oats two of the most healing substances on the planet!)
Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist © will also act as a superior toner, prepping the skin to properly hydrate, locking in the moisture. Liberally spritz your face, shoulders and chest area.
Your skin will still be wet from the shower, and this is an ideal time to apply your favourite moisturiser. Why not keep it all in the same family of products? The UltraCalming © line has a Serum Concentrate which will continue to calm frazzled nerve endings. Too, it pampers your skin with luxurious emollients.
Now, while basking in that beautifying, botanically infused calm (and newfound relief against inflamed, irritated skin), wrap yourself in a thick terry cloth robe and head off to the kitchen for a spot of chamomile tea. Tomorrow will be better.
When the alarm goes off in the a.m., slip on your favourite outfit--in a hue that really sets off your glowing, blotch-free skin. When you slide into your seat at the next meeting, your colleagues won’t be able to keep from noticing your luminous skin. If asked how you did it, don’t hesitate to mention your intelligent, nourishing, CALMING approach to skincare!
Sincerely,
The Dermalogica Lady
