I have been a little quiet recently due to becoming a mummy for the first time. My son was born in November last year and since then plus with Christmas, it has been a busy few months and I have not managed to update my blog.
Thought I would start the new year with a blog!
At 10 weeks post pregnancy my skin has been looking pretty dull, dry in need of some skin products to help get it back to its previous condition
I recently purchased the Dermalogica Active Moist Skin Kit which is a limited edition kit in order to give my skin that pick me up. I have to say I am really pleased, my skin already feels fresh and clean.
With the kit you receive free a Dermal Clay Cleanser and Pre Cleanse, plus you get to choose two free samples. On this occasion I opted for Daily Microfoliant and Skin Hydration Booster.
Pre Cleanse
You only need a small amount of this product. It is a oil which you rub over the face and it really shifts any makeup you may have on before you start with your cleanser.
Once you have smoothed the oil over the face you simply rinse off and you are ready for the next step. You only need a small amount of this product. It is a oil which you rub over the face and it really shifts any makeup you may have on before you start with your cleanser.
I love the smell of the pre cleanse, it comes in a 30ml bottle which I think lasts a good few months maybe even longer as you only use a small pea sized amount.
The oil is very light and contains Olive and Apricot Kernel, Kukui Nut and Borage Seed.
Really feels like you are treating the skin and massaging this in even manages to get rid of waterproof mascara!
Dermal Clay Cleanser
A refreshing menthol based product which gives a cool feeling to the skin. Not a over powering smell enough to feel fresh on the skin.
The clay formula helps absorb excess oils. A small amount if used you can apply to your already damp face after the pre cleanse and with light upward strokes massage into the skin. Once you have applied you simply wash off with warm water.
The bottle is 50ml so great travel size but again, this would last you a good few months.
I quite like to use products I rinse off, just gives the feeling that you are really cleaning the skin and boosting its hydration levels.
Active Moist
A refreshing lemon smell to this light weight moisturiser. Hydrates the skin without leaving a oily feel to the skin. Great for dehydrated skin, works well under makeup too!
This is a good size tube at 100ml.
I often have this product in my makeup kit as I feel it works well on a lot of skin types.
My skin looked noticeably smoother and made my foundation sit well on my skin.
Containing some lovely herbs, Lemon Fruit, Ivy, Watercress, Lavender, Mallow and Cucumber. All of which refine, soothe and provide some much needed hydration.
A big fan of this product for a while now, I first used this back in my college days studying to be a beauty therapist.
A light not harsh exfoliator which rids of any dead skin debris and leaves a brighter and smoother finish.
A small amount is used, this is a powder and is mixed with a few drops of water in the palm of your hand and applied using small circles over the skin, concentrating on the areas around your nose and any areas which are suffering from noticeable flakes of dryness.
This product is gentle enough to use everyday but I choose to use a few times a week.
A versatile product, can be used to balance uneven pigmentation.
A new product to me, I have not tried this before. What appealed to me was it was a hydrating fluid for dehydrated skin types like mine!
Can be used on the lips and under eyes which show signs of fine lines or dryness.
You would apply the booster before your moisturiser. Only a few drops are required and will cover the entire face.
The booster contains Pro Vitamin B5 and Algae Extract which will help to repair, hydrate, restore and moisturise the skin. Just what my parched skin needed!
I think this kit is a must buy! It contains everything you need to get your skin back on track. You get into a good skin care routine as you want to use the products as they feel great and smell good, so not just because you feel you must follow a skin routine.
I look forward to using them on a morning and evening.
I think the offer runs out soon.. and depending on your skin type their are many other skin kits to choose from Dermalogica.
I would love to hear what Dermalogica products you love or simply your go to products this winter.
