Post Summer Skin from Dermalogica

We are now back from our holidays and the kids are ready to go back to school. The question on our minds is have you looked after your skin over the summer months?
UV exposure causes far reaching damage to skin that may not be noticeable at the time but accumulates and shows its ugly face when we hit our 30s and 40s.
UVA rays are the longest rays in the spectrum, and they penetrate deepest into the skin. UVA rays are responsible for causing the damage at a cellular level, making them responsible for the main cause of the signs of ageing in the form of wrinkles and pigmentation. UVA is present all year round, even in wintertime!

UVB rays are shorter than UVA rays, and cause the burn or tan effect in the skin. Both UVA and UVB rays can cause cancer, so wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen with antioxidants is absolutely essential!

UVC radiation is potentially the most damaging as it is very energetic but is absorbed by oxygen and ozone in the stratosphere and never reaches the Earth's surface.
Speak with your professional skin therapist about SPF moisturisers that can be worn comfortably under make-up or alone deliver defence against skin ageing UV light.

Uneven skin tone, or hyperpigmentation, is the result of an over production of melanin. Researched and developed by The International Dermal Institute, ChromaWhite TRx™ delivers skin brightening results without the use of potentially damaging “lightening” ingredients that can impact skin health.

Quenching Summers Thirst with Dermalogica

What do we all have in common in the summer? Yes it's the return of the thirsty, moisture-starved skin, compliments of crash diets, air conditioning, travel and too many mojitos! If you’ve always heard summer skin isn’t as dry as it is in the winter, you’re correct. So why does skin feel so tight? The answer: your skin may actually be dehydrated.

First things first: dry skin, or allipoid skin, generally refers to skin that is lacking in oil.

Dehydrated skin is characterized by lack of moisture (water).

Even oily skin can experience dehydration, as dehydration is a lack of water in skin – not oil. This means sebaceous activity can still be normal or even overactive in dehydrated skin. Now you know the difference – so it’s time to cure thirsty skin:

While your first instinct screams for the heavier cream, you could be left with breakouts during warmer months when perspiration levels are higher. Instead, layer a feather-light, fast-absorbing hydrating fluid beneath your current moisturizer or sunscreen – Skin Hydrating Booster is our top pick.

Spritz all day, every day with Multi-Active Toner –in the morning before moisturizing, as an afternoon refresher at your desk, in the car on your way to the gym… it’s hydrating, absorbs quickly, and won’t leave behind a greasy residue.

Three times a week, calm, soothe and help reduce dehydration with Skin Hydrating Masque. On hot days, intensify cooling benefits by chilling in the fridge for 5 minutes before you apply.

While you always wear your sunscreen, it is possible to get caught by the day’s rays. The damage is done, but the recovery can be quickened. Trust After Sun Repair to take down redness and inflammation while cooling skin. After Sun Repair is also a summer must-have for post-waxing sessions!

Give skin a boost by treating it right from the inside out. Drink at least eight 8-ounces of plain, filtered water every day.

If you’re a fan of coffee, tea or fizzy drinks, balance out the consumption with 3 extra glasses of water.

Don’t forget about wonderful, water-rich fruits and vegetables including watermelon, apples, grapes, broccoli and blueberries to boost hydration.

Summer-proof your Kids' Skin

For kids:
Shield your kids from sun damage: Keeping kids sun safe doesn’t have to be a goopy, globby mess! Kid-friendly spray Dermalogica WaterBlock Solar Spray SPF30 (offering very water resistant protection for up to 80 minutes) and sunscreen-infused towelettes Daily Defense Wipes SPF15 get sunscreen applied fast and get them back in the action. Re-apply when going to and from water and outside activities.

Starting at an early age is key: keep newborns out of the sun. Once your newborn hits 6 months, you can apply sunscreen. Opt for chemical free sunscreen defense Super Sensitive FaceBlock SPF30 – it shields with Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide.

Apply before heading out: Chemical based sunscreens need time to activate with skin: applying when you’re already under the sun equates to exposure time! Apply sunscreen liberally and generously 30 minutes before leaving the house.

And for you…
Don’t skimp on cleansing… sunscreens are designed to adhere to skin and sit on the surface –meaning yucky build-up and the potential for breakouts. Get skin double clean: start with PreCleanse, our water-soluble plant oil-based cleanser that cuts through dirt, sunscreens, make-up -- even waterproof mascara! – and lifts it away so your prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser can get to cleaning what matters most – your skin!

Keep skin hydrated and moist – driving around with the roof down, vacationing in different climates and sitting in an air-conditioned environment sucks every drop of moisture out of your skin. Lock in hydration with Multi-Active Toner after cleansing and before moisturizing. Even pick up a travel-size to spritz on skin throughout the day!

Exfoliate! It buffs away dry, dulling skin cells to maximize benefits of hydrating products! But don’t reach for high-foaming, highly fragranced shower products that can further dry skin. Choose Exfoliating Body Scrub, or dispense soap-free Conditioning Body Wash into The Ultimate Buffing Cloth for convenient all over scrubbing (especially for hard-to-reach places like the back!)

How does Nioxin work?

Nioxin is a deep-scalp-cleaning system and can very simply replace your daily hair washing routine.

Deep Scalp-cleaning systems: With no side effects and lots of benefits, deep scalp-cleaning treatments are a great way to go. In essence, these products concentrate on the "root" of hair loss - the scalp. With little effort on your part, they go to work on making your scalp a clean and comfortable place for new hair to grow while also reversing the effects of DHT and other scalp conditions. Most of these products are topical treatments and can also double as your daily shampoo and conditioner. Three simple steps are all that is needed.

1. Cleanse and detoxify the follicle.
2. Moisturise the scalp to encourage healthy cell renewal.
3. Nourish the hair roots with a leave-on treatment.

As the product works to make the scalp a healthier environment, it eliminates toxins from the surface which includes the toxins from medications. Research shows Nioxin reduces the amount of natural daily hair loss and keeps the hair that you have in healthy condition for longer periods of time. For example, hair grows in 3 stages, faster growing hair, slower growing hair and resting hair. We also have more than one papilla in each follicle from which a hair may grow. Nioxin will keep the hair and follicle healthy which results in the hair remaining in the Anagen or faster growing stage longer. This may result in 2 or 3 papilla being active at any one time and therefore you may have 2 or 3 hairs growing from the same follicle which will give your hair a thicker appearance.

Prepare to Bare

Say Goodbye to rough, dry skin and Hello to smoother, softer skin with Dermalogica's Exfoliating Body Scrub. Designed for all skin conditions, this creamy, lightly foaming body scrub will dramatically smooth, polish and energise your skin! Fig, Date and Olive seed powders gently remove dead and dulling cells. Rice Bran and Papaya Enzymes slough off impurities and stimulate cell renewal. Purifying essential oils of Lavender, Orange, Sandalwood and Rosemary condition and invigorate the body while awakening the senses.

How does it work?
- Removes dead, dulling cells leaving skin smoother with a polished appearance.
- Stimulates cell renewal to give skin a fresh look and feel.
- Massaging action energizes skin and purifying essential oils invigorate the senses.
- Prepares the skin for maximum hydration and absorption of essential ingredients.

John Masters Organics Hair Products

It’s about this time of year – every year – when the combination of dry heated air, hats and wind just seems to suck the life out of your hair. Where once there was bounce, now there’s just flatness; waves, curls and any kind of kick you managed to work into it in the morning have been literally flattened by the time your mid-morning coffee break rolls around…

Finally a solution has presented itself, and it not only solves the problem of hair that’s had just a little too much winter, but it gives you a reminder that spring and summer are just around the corner. Sea Mist from John Masters Organics. Spritz on your hair wherever you needs a little volume and texture, and the salty mix goes to work.

Nioxin- It's Skin Care for Your Scalp

NIOXIN is considered the most advanced product for improving fine or thinning hair quality. Its ability to remove DHT from the scalp skin and then help protect hair follicles from chemical deterioration is unsurpassed. The primary cause of hair loss and follicle deterioration is dihydrotestosterone but, diet, pollution, radiation, stress, medication and other factors reduce hair quality and increase hair loss. NIOXIN is a system designed to improve the environment of the scalp for fuller, thicker, healthier hair. NIOXIN is not a drug, contains no harmful chemicals and is safe for all ages to use and benefit from.
The NIOXIN range of products is designed to be just as beneficial to people who want to maintain a healthy head of hair, as it is to those already concerned with the problem of increasingly fine, fragile or thinning hair.
The NIOXIN range is a system committed to the science of living hair.

Choose the Nioxin system that is right for you!

Here Comes The Sun

It's no exaggeration to say that the sun is potentially your skin's worst enemy. In fact, skin cancer, largely caused by unprotected exposure to the sun's damaging UV rays, is the most prevalent form of cancer in the world, affecting one in five people. And it's on the rise - recent studies suggest that depletion of the earth's ozone layer makes shielding the skin more important than ever.

Even if you are not a sunbather, your skin is still bombarded on a daily basis. Driving to work. Walking the dog. Even sitting under indoor lighting. Sun protection should be on your skin every day as part of your skin care routine. Thanks to years of research, even the most sensitised individuals, often the ones most at risk from the sun - can get the protection that they need. Using super-fine milled Titanium Dioxide particles, UltraSensitive Face Block SPF25 reflects the sun's damaging rays without the need for chemicals. Solar Defense Booster from Dermalogica is a sunblock supplement specifically formulated to add full spectrum protection to your favourite moisturiser or make-up. Or, it may be used alone for maximum SPF30 protection. Dermalogica's Daylight Defense System is formulated without any comodegenic ingredients

Keratosis Pilaris - the symptoms and solutions

Keratosis pilaris as you may know is a very common condition, appearing usually on the outer edge of the upper arms. Keratosis pilaris is quite harmless and does not cause any symptoms. There are numerous rough follicular spots, which may be skin coloured, red or brown. Often keratosis pilaris also occurs on the thighs and cheeks, and less often on the forearms and upper back. It is most obvious during the teenage years.

The condition tends to be more severe during the winter months or other times of low humidity when skin dries out. It can disappear for years, or appear for the first time in adult life.

The precise cause has yet to be determined, although it is thought to be a disorder of keratinisation in which the sticky cells that line the hair follicle form a horny plug instead of exfoliating. This widens the pores making them appear more obvious than elsewhere. Often a curled hair can be identified under the skin.

My recommendations to you would be to use a body wash that does not include soap. Dermalogica's Conditioning Body Wash is ideal. Moisturise twice a day and always apply moisturiser within 3 minutes of having a bath or shower for maximum benefits. Dermalogica's Body Hydrating Cream is excellent for you as it contains hydroxy acids, which will dissolve the inter-cellular glue that holds the dead skin cells together and the fruit enzymes of papaya and papain will digest the keratinised cells.

Bring the bounce back to your curls

Lots of the team at Donna Maisey Skin Care have curly hair and over the last couple of weeks we have been putting a range of curly hair mousses and serums to the test.

Over recent years we have found that sleeping with your hair in a loose bun helps to preserve the curls and keep those knots away. Also using a leave in conditioner spray such as the Tigi Catwalk Fast-Fixx helps give your hair the moisture that it may be missing and springs lifeless curls back into action.

After testing different curly haired ranges the number 1 recommendation from Donna Maisey is the Foxy Curls Extreme Curl Mousse from the TIGI Bed Head range. Marketing Assistant Rebecca says "This mousse gives my hair great definition whilst keeping it soft. It doesn't leave a concrete effect that gels often have".

The Foxy Curls Extreme Curl Mousse brings volume to hair and especially good for creatively styling your hair for both day styles and a night out on the tiles.

Go on, bring out your inner "foxy"!

So are your hands worth looking after?

During the winter months our skin can be really affected by the extreme weather conditions and combine this with central heating it can cause sensitivity and dehydration on the face. But what about your hands?

Do you find yourself not using hand creams or buying anything that is on offer to help hydrate and keep the dryness at bay?

Do these creams that you buy for your hands actually work? Or do you find yourself buying a different hand cream because the last one you brought did not make any difference? Even worse do you use so much that you have finished the hand cream that you brought in one week?

Multi Vitamin Hand and Nail Treatment is a treatment designed by Dermalogica not only to nourish and hydrate the skin on the hands but also the nails.

This silky non greasy formula instantly absorbs into the skin and does not leave a residue on the skin. The botanicals and vitamins will help to repair and protect chapped hands, whilst strengthening nails against splitting and peeling.

Licorice helps to calm and soothe the skin and our hands can become very sore and dry so this ingredient will help to take down redness and calm the skin.

Vitamins A,C and E not only help to protect the skin, but Vitamins A and C help stimulate collagen production in the skin, and if you look at anyone's hands that is how you can tell their real age!

Grapefruit and Algae help to hydrate and nourish dry hands.


So are your hands worth looking after? I think so!

Beautiful winter lips

With a winder wonderland outside many of us have taken the opportunity to take the kids out on the sledges, have some leisurely walks with the dogs through the snowy fields or just enjoy the beautiful scenery. Yet at the same time many of us are suffering with dry chapped lips - which can take weeks to heal!

It is imperative to care for your lips all year round, but especially in the winter as this is when the most damage occurs! So here are the top tips from Donna Maisey Skin Care to keep your pout sparkling through the winter season!

1) Use a targeted lip treatment. We love Dermalogica's Climate Control Lip Treatment which protects your lips from dryness, redness and chapping with an environmental shield of Anti-Ozonate Complex, Shea Butter, Oat Extract and Vitamin E. You can use this treatment over any area where skin is thinner or more prone to dehydration.

2) If the corners of your mouth are chapped, you may have a lack of riboflavin, which are found in foods such as green vegetables and dairy products.

3) Make sure you drink plenty of water - 8 fluid ounces each day. Water and water rich fruit and veggies including watermelon, grapes, apples, blueberries and broccoli all boost hydration.

4) Skin Hydrating Masque is a refreshing gel masque for all skin conditions, but also helps target common dry areas including the eye area and lips.
