Dermalogica for Anti-Aging Products - Skin Care That Packs A Punch

It is now an accepted fact that constant exposure to the sun is the major cause of skin damage and premature aging. This is not good news for the average Australian, particular those whose ancestry includes fair skin colouring. Rapid aging is already coded into their the DNA, and unfortunately, many people don't realise that until the first lines and skin discolourations start to appear.

However, there is good news. Skin damage caused by exposure to the sun can be vastly improved and in some cases, reversed with the use of quality anti-aging products such as Dermalogica.

A regular skin care routine is the first step in keeping the complexion smooth and flawless. The generally accepted steps are:

Morning

• Cleanse, tone and nourish - use day creams or lotions to nourish before applying make-up.

Evening

• Cleanse, tone and nourish - apply night creams or lotions to face, eye area and neck after cleansing and toning, just before going to bed.

The anti-aging products in the Dermalogica range are ideal choices for this regular routine, and there is a product for every skin type. The anti-aging products include serums and vitamin enhanced lotions and creams that are a relatively new introduction to this skin care routine, having been on the market for just a little over ten years. The concentrates in the serums are a wonderful boost to sun damaged skin.

Here are a few tips to remember when using any skin care product, including the Dermalogica anti-aging products:

• Always stroke creams or lotions in an upward motion, as pulling the skin downward stretches it. Gravity is already pulling at your body, so don't give it any extra help.
• When applying any product around the eye area, always pat it into the skin using the tips of your fingers. The skin around the eyes is very thin, and very easily stretched, causing premature wrinkling.
• Remember to extend your skin care routine to your neck, shoulders and decolletage. This is often where the first signs of aging appear, but the skin in these areas responds very quickly to extra care, and results should soon be visible.

• Following a cleansing routine with liberal applications of toner will tighten the pores and increase the blood flow to the skin surface. Your face may appear flushed for a short while, but this is a good thing, as it means your skin is being naturally rejuvenated through the increased blood supply.

A regular, skin care routine coupled with the use of Dermalogica anti-aging products suitable for your skin type will bring amazing results. Friends who have known you for years will be suspecting surgery, and acquaintances who try to guess your age will generally be quite wrong.
