Tackle Monthly Breakouts and Win!

Most women have at some point experienced annoying monthly breakouts which can be embarrassing and make us feel self-conscious.  Spots appear when hormones trigger excessive oil production, which leads to a blockage along with bacteria and dead skin cells. It makes sense therefore that you’re a lot more likely to experience spots around the time of your period.  
 
You can't control your hormones with skincare products but what you can do is put up a good fight by reducing oiliness with a gentle, water-soluble cleanser, such as Dermalogica Clearing Skin Wash which is free of artificial fragrance and colour and contains naturally healing and soothing ingredients such as Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Arnica and Milk Thistle.  The Clearing Skin Wash has to be recommended by your professional therapist, so a visit to the salon is mandatory.

You should also exfoliate skin regularly using a gentle, non-abrasive exfoliator.  Using one that is too harsh will only aggravate your skin further which is the last thing you want!  

Adopting a good skincare regime will go a long way to keeping skin looking healthy, fresh and clear and tackling the dreaded monthly breakouts.

My Skin Type. What Is It?

If you're struggling to define your skin type, here's a couple of quick pointers to help you along the way. Obviously oily skin is going to look aggravatingly shiny, whereas drier types can feel itchy and uncomfortable, especially if you make the wrong choice with your moisturiser. If either of these is difficult to categorise, combination skin is probably your type.

A quick and dirty way to determine which type you are is to try some of your regular cleanser and wait a while before moisturising. If after, say 15 minutes you get a 'tight' feeling, your skin is most definitely dry. Wait a little longer if you don't experience these symptoms, because the oily skin check is next. To perform this wait, say 30 minutes  then arm yourself with a good old fashioned piece of tissue paper and blot the nose and chin area. The results will speak for themselves, with oil showing up on the tissue.

Of course, you may have a mixture of the two skin types. In this case, you'll have to choose your products carefully, or have them professionally recommended by a trained therapist.
