Dermalogica giving your skin a chance to have a clean start!

Sometimes we all need a little helping hand, I know my skin does. Right now I am suffering from a hormonal breakout and I am not happy. Recently I was sent a couple of little goodies which are these fantastic little introduction sets each with a specific purpose.

major breakout mini kit
We dedicated an entire kit to solving the #1 young adult skin issue: breakouts!
Wash Off (50 ml)
Bedtime for Breakouts (15 ml)
Hit the Spot (3 ml)
RRP: $28.00
 

This pack contains everything you need to fight your acne. The cleanser smells like jaffa chocolates (yummo) and is a foaming cleanser (these are particularily great on young skin as the absorb the excess oil that comes with teenage years). Then of a night you apply the Beadtime for Breakouts which is a clear gel which really gets into the pimples to help dry, heal and erase the pimples and then my fave Hit the Spot which you put directly on the pimple and can be applied whenever you need to, this baby really sicks those pimples in their tracks, I apply it very frequently and then poof gone! This will really be a new fave for me. 

get glowing mini kit
Exfoliate and illuminate to get skin glowing – perfect for formal, graduation and beyond!
Ready, Set, Scrub! (15 ml)
Brighten Up SPF15 (15 ml)
Smart Mouth Lip Shine (3 ml)
RRP: $28.00

This kit to me is like all those little extras everyone should have but may not. The scrub is actually a mask/scrub, you apply it like a mask and leave it on for 10-15 mins then when you wash it off, I like to do so with a hot, damp face cloth which I gently rub the mask off in circular motions which really exfoliates my face and leaves my skin feeling baby smooth after. 
The Brighten Up is a great little tinted moisturiser with SPF, I really love this, I have been using it every day and you only need a tiny amount as it spreads really far, gives light coverage and is moisturising. 
The Smart Mouth Lip Shine is a lovely little lip balm which is perfect for this Winter weather 

To me, the kits are really affordable for what they offer, I have been using the cleanser and tinter mosituriser every day for weeks and they show no sign of being used up. These are great if you are prone to breakouts every now and again and want to have this kit handy for when you want to attack them or if you have or are a teenager who is looking to get into skin care but you don't really know where to start.

Breaking through the Winter Barrier with Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque

I feel like all my blogs start the same lately, Winter is doing crap to my skin like it is to everyone's skin and so... my savior which I have been using for months is this wonder product. The product I have been using is Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque-$34. I actually have gotten the greatest benefit of this product before I left for Thailand. When I knew I had an impending tropical holiday/ wedding I was attending when I knew I would be bare faced and care free the last thing I wanted to worry about was covering up from spots, something that constantly concerns me. I know that clay based prodz are perfect for spots and blemishes as they draw out impurities. This masque helps get rid of surface dirt which unfortunately is what can clog pores leading to breakouts, for me I think it's more a hormal problem as I am pretty damn good at keeping my skin in top condition I think. So on a random note ingredients in this clay were sourced from the Marajo Island in the Amazon river- oh come on! I honeslty always wonder, who just goes, you know we need some clay masque we are developing, where shall we get it from, hmmm lets get it from the Amazon! Anyway, I get distracted thinking of the Amazon. 

How does this product work for me? When I apply it, which I do twice a week FYI, I apply a thin layer on freshly cleansed skin and leave on for about 15 mins until it gets all dry and crackly and then with a wash cloth soaked in warm water I gently wipe the masque off in circular motions further exfolitating my skin. I make sure I apply it underneath my jaw line as well as I know many women, myself included can expierence most breakouts there. 

After all the product has been removed my skin "glows" no bull! I cannot begin to describe how beautiful and clear it looks, I feel like my skin looks younger, radiant and healthy, trust me this is such a winner, when used regularily my imperfections really cleared up and made my skin just perfect for when I went away. I didn't have to worry once about covering up any ugly pimples, such a nice feeling. 

Seriously though if you have skin which even remotely sounds like mine then you will benefit from this product and I know with a relatively inexpensice pricetag it is a product which will be on high rotation in my beauty cabinet for a really long time to come.

The masque itself has a earthy smell to it, which is probably the best way I can describe it and feels cool on your skin.

The masque pot-see it's so lovely and thick
