As the summer season kicked in and the relentless daily grind took its toll on my skin, I found myself desperately craving a pampering session. Luckily, this led me to experience the newly introduced Dermalogica’s high-performance skin treatments. After conducting a thorough analysis of my skin, I was recommended Dermalogica’s Pro Bright treatment- a high-intensity treatment combining Vitamin C with powerful Niacinamide and Hexylresorcinol.
First step: To clear my skin bare, the expert used Dermalogica PreCleanse which melted away layers of excess sebum, environmental pollutants and residual products that built up on my skin. Creating a light milky emulsion, she massaged my face while concentrating on areas of congestion and then rinsed with lukewarm water.
Second step: Creating a creamy paste using the exfoliator, this step prepped my skin for maximum absorption. A skin brightening complex of phytic acid from rice bran, white tea, and licorice helped balance my uneven skin tone. By this time, my skin was already feeling super light.
Third step: After a thorough exfoliating massage on my face, my face was exposed to steam. The expert therapist removed my black heads and white heads with multi-active scaling gel, which was quick and surprisingly painless! Then she sprayed Dermalogica’s multi-active toner to hydrate my skin and to optimise moisturiser absorption. What a refreshing spritz!
Fourth step: Now it was time to mask it up. The ultra-replenishing masque acted like a remedy for my dry skin, all thanks to the powerful, concentrated vitamins A, C and E, and Linoleic Acid. The nutrient-rich algae extract and Pro-Vitamin B5 presented in the product moisturised and softened my skin. After applying the mask for 15-20 minutes, it was time for the last step.
Fifth step: Sunscreen-toner-moisturiser. Dermalogica’s Daily SPF moisturiser with SPF 50 has always been my favourite. The niacinamide present helps reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation and balance skin tone. And the ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid works with a plant-based polysaccharide to help strengthen skin's moisture barrier. Lastly, the expert sprayed antioxidant hydramist toner on my face to comfort and refresh my skin.
The result: To be completely frank, my skin was glowing, hydrated, and noticeably healthier. It felt incredibly smooth, almost as if my skin was expressing gratitude for the pampering it received.
Apart from the Pro Bright treatment, Dermalogica also offers a Pro Skin 30-minute high impact facial which combines key steps of professional exfoliation and deep serum treatment; Pro Clear which includes pore softening techniques to clear and calm congested breakout-prone skin; Pro Calm which soothes sensitive conditions, including eczema, rosacea, visible redness, and dryness; and Pro Age Smart designed for ageing, premature ageing concerns and uneven skin tone that firms, nourishes and regenerates the skin.
