Great Deal on Dermalogica’s AGE Smart Products! July 26, 2010

Dermalogica’s AGE Smart line is designed to enhance the skin’s defense against the main causes of skin aging. The products are known to increase firmness and elasticity, as well as reduce fine lines and other signs of aging. We are highlighting two products in particular, the Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 30, and the Antioxidant HydraMist. Both of these products have received a lot of attention from the press. We are running a great deal this month that you will want to take advantage of. Read on to find out more!

Dermalogica’s Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 30 is the perfect daytime moisturizer. Apply it in the morning to mature, or prematurely aging skin on your face and neck. Products like Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 will firm the skin and promote collagen growth while also fighting off free radicals. Not to mention, the SPF protects your skin from sun exposure. InStyle Magazine’s editors recommend Dynamic Skin Recovery to help prevent sagging, wrinkling, and sun damage on the vulnerable neck area.

Another great AGE Smart product from Dermalogica is the Antioxidant HydraMist. It also works to promote collagen and fight off free radicals, but it can be used as a pick-me-up for your skin anytime throughout the day. The spritz is refreshing and packed full of antioxidants. Allure Magazine says Antioxidant HydraMist peptides and glucosamine “target internal damage before it becomes visible to the naked eye.” Did we mention you can get a full size bottle of this product for free?

With this week’s Happy Hour Special you will receive a FREE Antioxidant HydraMist when you order a Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 30! This deal will be good through the end of July, and you are going to want to take advantage of it. These are two great products that will work in conjunction with one another to fight the signs of aging!

Free Things You Can Do For Your Skin! February 23, 2009

Skin care can certainly get expensive, so we thought we’d share some ways to treat your skin without spending a dime!

• Steam your face over boiling water. Steam really opens up your pores, which is why most facials begin with steam. It also increases circulation, deep cleanses, and can help get rid of blackheads! Boil water on the stove, then transfer it to a large bowl. It helps to hold a towel over your head to keep the steam from escaping. Hold your face over it for about 5-7 minutes (stop if it is too hot or irrtates your skin).
• Give yourself a facial massage. This is one of the best parts of a facial, and you can learn a few moves to perform on your own skin! Not only is it relaxing, but it helps increase circulation (which can provide a plumping effect), stimulates tissues and releases facial tension. Try these moves:
  *Using both thumbs (upside down), press on the inside of each brow (thumbs should be lined up above your nose). Hold for about 4 seconds, then move thumbs up (towards hairline). Press for 4 seconds and release as you move up.
  * Using both hands (one on each brow), gently pinch the inside of the brow for about 4 seconds. Release, and move along the brow, pinching and releasing until you reach the end. This helps relieve tension in the eyes.
  *Using the ring finger on each hand, start at the corner of each eye and make small circles under the eye area until you reach the nose. Use delicate pressure. This helps stimulate the delicate tissue under the eye, and releases tension.
• Wet  your face before applying moisturizer. If you apply moisturizer to dry skin, it doesn’t absorb as well. Moist skin always accepts moisturizer better. You can do this by simply splashing your face with water (or if you have a spritz toner, give the skin a spray before moisturizing). Make a big difference!!
• Exfoliatate your lips with your toothbrush. Lips need love, too! After brushing your teeth, use the brush to make tiny circes along the lips. It helps get rid of dead skin cells, and increases circulation (which can plump the lips). Follow with lip balm (or Vaseline).
• Fill a spray bottle with water, and spritz throughout the day. Your skin LOVES water…many people feel like their skin is dry (lacking oil), when it is actualy dehydrated (lacking water)! Giving yourself a spritz during the day is like a drink of water for the skin. It also helps you feel more energized!
• Cleanse your face twice. That’s right- whether u wash your face in the morning or night (or both), wash it twice! Dermalogica (the world’s leading professional skin care brand) does this in all of their treatments because it works. During the day, our skin deals with dirt, oil, makeup, pollution, sunscreen and germs! Spending time cleansing the skin is a MUST if you want healthy skin.
• Look in your pantry for an eye treatment. If you have tea bags (black or chamomile), place them in lukewarm water, then let them set on your eyes for a few minutes. It helps calm eyes, constricts blood vessels and can reduce puffiness. Of course, cucumber work nicely too. If you don’t have either of these items, then run a wash rag under cool water, rest over eyes, lay down and relax!
• Drink LOTS of water! Healthy skin starts from the inside out. Drinking water keeps skin hydrated and looking fresh.
• Eat your fruits and veggies. Healthy skin needs nutrients. Fruits and veggies also help to fight free radicals (which can wreak havoc on the skin).
• Turn down the heat in your shower. It might feel good, but hot water draws moisture out of the skin. Keep water lukewarm, and apply moisturizer as soon as you get out of the shower.
