GPS with no wrong turnsWhen I sat down at the Dermalogica Beauty Bar to experience Face Mapping a technique that is unique to Dermalogica, you can have all of those how’s and why answered in literally five minutes. Dermalogica recommends that you keep your face mapping profile up to date, as the skin (which if very true) is changing all the time.
Jane Wurland founder and inspiration of DermalogicaI liked the Dermalogica Face Mapping, its quick it’s not just a light touch to the skin, it is an effective way whereby the face is divided into sections, and these sections reflect differences in texture, heat, tone and health of the skin. The Dermalogica therapist has a very sure sweeping action over each section as they read the results of what they are experiencing and visualizing through an LED headlamp. With each section you will get immediate feedback from the therapist on solutions.
At a Dermalogica Beauty Bar you can everything for your skinAfter the face mapping we looked at product and I was able to practice using all the products that were recommended, from cleansing, toning, exfoliating, moisturizing, eye treatment and sun protection. The benefit of doing this is that the expert is in front of you, so if you are not applying the right pressure or too much pressure they can correct you, for me I had been using a product incorrectly.
Re-stock your products at Dermalogica Beauty BarsDermalogica daily microfoliant was a product I thought was too easy to use, and so I did not ask or read up how to use this properly. I was using it in the morning and then rinsing off in the shower, but I was not preparing the product correctly, by making a light paste in the palm of my hand first and then applying onto my skin. I was just placing the powder in my damp palm and then massaging over the skin, not getting the full benefits from this product.
The best place to talk and experience skincare Dermalogica Beauty BarAt the Dermalogica Beauty Bar, where you can get into training mode I learnt how to correct this mistake, then applied the product correctly to my skin and immediately saw the difference, this is a big benefit to meet your Dermalogica expert regularly so that you can experience the product the right way.
Pop princess Prinnie Stevens said: “I am so excited to be working with Hello Darling. I have never found the bright nail colors that I wanted so I was thrilled to get the opportunity to create them! I feel that encapsulates the brightness and fun of Aussie summertime.†
"We appreciate that while her star is rising she's also a fashionista in her own right, Prinnie is a hard working Australian mum who isn't afraid to put in the hard yards for what she wants. That's something that is very much aligned with our company values, and resonated with both Kim and I as businesswomen," she said.
