Which Dermalogica products should I use?

Initially, establishing your skin type is key.

“Primarily, there is ‘skin type’ and ‘skin condition’. Type means the skin you were naturally born with, for example, dry or oily skin. When referring to condition, it is something that may lead you to experience added problems such as irritation or acne. Whether temporary or a more extended period, it can happen to anybody. In some cases, a skin condition can remain permanently….” Dermalogica.

Dermalogica’s Face Mapping uses an exclusive tool for skin analysis. The results provide a clear view into your skin’s ‘past and present’ and enables the resultant prescription of a home care regime which will target the overall future health of your skin. Through this 5-10-minute complimentary analysis, one of Dermalogica’s therapists can carry out a skin analysis. We have divided the skin into 14 segments; there is no two skin’s alike, each is different.

Just the same, each of the 14 segments can vary. For instance, your cheeks could be oily, but your nose dehydrated. It provides both us and the therapist with a complete overview of precisely what skin conditions apply to the client. It presents us with an understanding of perhaps where the condition has come from and how we can treat it, to provide the client with the best skin care possible going forward.

The Face Mapping procedure also incorporates some ‘lifestyle’ questions, which assist the therapist in determining the greatest care for your individual skin. The results from Face Mapping may mean focusing on several different treatments for various areas of your face. Your Dermalogica therapist will, from the analysis results, be able to recommend the best products for your regime based on your skin makeup, as opposed to using one of the four universal skin types.
