Sneak Peak- Stress Positive Eye Lift

 

The newest addition to the Dermalogica range is launching on the 6th April! Stress Positive Eye Lift.... 

Everyone has stress in their life, but it's how you handle it that affects the skin. Does a deadline give you the adrenaline rush to finish it or fill you with dread? Take the test to find out how you deal with the daily stress life gives you www.stresspositivetest.com 

This new product focuses on the eye area, which is as thin as tissue paper therefore being the first area to show signs of distress. The tube has a metal tip which is naturally cold, so it helps to soothe the eye area as the product is applied. 

 

 

Stress Positive Eye Lift helps to brighten, lift, hydrate and de-puff the eyes. It can be used in the morning or at night as an eye masque or leave on treatment. Check out my video blog about how to apply and energise the eye area https://flipagram.com/f/16HviN2LZ6n

Treatment Thursday- Dark circles

Last week I asked what questions my readers would like answered and one lovely sleep deprived Mum with 3 kids under 2 asked how to get rid of dark circles. 

Some dark circles are hereditary because of the natural pigment and skin coloring, but most can be combatted with a few alterations to your daily routine. Here are a few tips to try: 

Sleep

Sleep deprevation whether it be from stress or the arrival of young children it takes its toll on the body not having a regular 6-8 hours of sleep every night. The body repairs itself at night, with the hours of 9pm-12am being the most important. 

Eye cream 

I gave a client who has suffered for years with dark circles a sample of Dermalogica's total eye care & she said its the first time in decades she's not felt the need to wear foundation! Eye cream hydrates and moisturises the delicate tissues around the eye area which improves the colour and texture. 

Drink water 

Two litres of water is the daily requirement, by increasing your intake to 3-4 litres it hydrates the skin and helps flush out toxins counterbalancing any caffeine and alcohol consumed. The difference in your skin will be obviously clearer and more plump.

Healthy diet 

Lots of leafy green vegetables, fruits and superfoods all help the skin glow. Jamie Oliver says, 'When it comes to fruit and veg, different colours provide your body with the different nutrients it needs to stay strong and healthy – it's not just greens that are good for you!'

Feature Friday- city break skin tips

Whether you live in the city or are going on a 'city break' for the weekend. Skincare is essential because all the additional elements can wreck havoc on your skin. 

Cities often contain additional pollution, harder water and a fast-paced lifestyle. Even if you're visiting the pace of life around you increases. These elemental changes can cause skin sensitivity, dehydration, and congestion. 

Deep Cleanse- To help combat the extra dirt, pollution, and oil secretions a deep cleanse is vital. Dermalogica recommends a double cleanse routine- the first cleanse gets rid of make-up, dirt, and sweat while the second cleanse actually cleans the skin. 

Hydration- dehydration occurs from lack of water in your body and in your skin. With busy lifestyles hydration often gets forgotten- both internally and externally. Remember to drink 2-3 litres of water a day to keep your body hydrated, and to increase this intake with caffeinated or alcoholic drinks and exercise. A hydrating spray, booster or serum can be added to your Skincare routine to help boost hydration levels- Hyaluronic Acid is a key ingredient in these items! 

Moisturiser- wearing apisturiser and the correct one for your skin type is vital in helping promote clear skin & protecting it from pollution and other free radicals. Get face mapped by your local Skincare professional to find out your skin type and use a daily moisturiser with an SPF 30 to protect against signs of ageing.
