Sensitive Skin? What you need to know…

Hydrocortisone is a commonly used steroid that helps reduce inflammation.  Its purpose, however, is to provide short-term relief, not long-term control of itching and redness.  In addition, Hydrocortisone has the potential drawback of thinning skin, and when used long-term, skin can build up resistance and require stronger steroids as a result.

Opt instead for powerful ingredients that soothe, cool, reduce redness and impact the multiple pathways behind inflammation for better control of flare-ups.

Three Key Ingredients to look for:

  • Avena Sativa (Oat Kernel) extracts:  Rich in avenanthramides, which have been widely studied and proven to have natural anti-irritant and anti-redness properties.
  • Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Extract and Bisabolol (derived from Chamomile): Work synergistically to help reduce inflammation induced redness and irritation.
  • Boerhavia Diffusa (Red Hogweed) Root Extract: targets neurogenic inflammation while soothing properties restore skin to a normal sensitivity level, providing immediate and long-lasting results.
Find these key ingredients in UltraCalming by Dermalogica!

Serums

Recently I was reading an article about Serums and how they are the new generation of powerful anti-aging and that if you are looking to take year’s off that it is time to invest in one of these secret skin heroes!  The article went on to read that serums are like “scaffolding for you skin, they support, firm and tighten”  and I couldn’t agree more!  I thought that this was a great analogy to share with clients as it puts it into easy to understand terms as to why you should be using one daily in your skin care. Everyone is looking for the “fix” these days as everyone is feeling the lack-lustre skin all from stress, environment and lifestyle.  As we do sell many serums from both Dermalogica and Wilma Schumann I was extremely excited to attend Dermalogica’s new product launch for the newest addition to the AGE Smart line – Overnight Repair Serum! This new serum syncs with your body’s nighttime recovery process, helping to increase luminosity while minimizing fine lines, dryness and loss of elasticity.  Overnight Repair Serum helps control the biochemical triggers that lead to skin aging!

So I have now used it for 3 nights and I have to say my skin definitely has a glow, it feels softer and well hydrated.  Also the smell is amazing, it definitely relaxes me before bed!  So for all you AGE Smart users this is a must especially heading into winter.

We should have the Overnight Repair Serum on our shelves by September 7th.  Please let me know if you are interested in having one put aside for you.
