Dermalogica is a company that provides a wide distribution of skin care products for different skin types. According to their website, this outfit features products developed by The International Dermal Institute. While they build a portion of their business on saloon and professional spas, you can purchase Dermalogica products for daily skin care including cleansers, toner, anti-aging creams and lotions. Most product formulations provide care for a specific skin type. This allows you to clean and moisturize both the oily and dry areas of your face.
Step 1
Wash your face thoroughly with a cleanser appropriate for your skin type. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Apply an astringent to problem areas on your face. Application may vary based on product. Most involve dabbing a small amount of the toner to a cotton ball. Run the wet ball over regions that tend to be oily, such as your nose.
Step 3
Open the smoothing cream bottle and squeeze out a quarter sized blob of lotion in the palm of your hand.
Step 4
Place your fingertips from the other hand into the lotion. Smooth the product on your face using an upward motion. Massage your skin as you go to increase the blood flow to that area.
Step 5
Saturate the skin on both your face and throat. Let the lotion absorb into the pores of your skin. Do not wipe it off.
Tips and Warnings
- Locate a local Dermalogica skin therapist in your area. This company offers Face Mapping to help you select the products that will work best for your skin type. The Dermalogica website states they have corporate offices worldwide. If necessary, call the office nearest you for information on a skin therapist. As an alternative, purchase a kit that contains products for your skin type or use a face-mapping program online.
