Dermalogica Skincare Goodies

After getting a few Dermalogica minis in the October Glossybox, it reminded me how much i LOVE the products! In winter my skin always goes really dry and sensitive so i thought i would treat myself to a few things to beat the cold weather....


I bought the Skin Smoothing cream (100ml) christmas gift set, it was the same price as the skin smoothing cream on its own, but you got 2 free gifts (and don't we all love freebies) which were the Multi Active Toner (50ml) and Skin Hydrating Booster (7ml), the set cost £33.99 from beautyflash.co.uk.
I also got the Barrier Repair cream (30ml) from the ultra calming range, and that cost £26.49 from the same website.


Skin Smoothing Cream, for those that dont know, is for dry/ dehydrated skin and claims to smooth the skin and fine lines. It's a really lovely moisturiser and feels nice and light on the skin, but still feels like its doing its job! I definatley feel like its made some difference to my skin and i have only been using it for a week... I mean i wouldnt say its a miracle skin cure but if your looking for a nice moisturiser that does the job and makes your skin feel healthy, then this is it!
Ive used the Multi Active toner before so i knew i liked it, its so easy to just spritz it on which is handy, but i wouldnt say i noticed that it was any different to any other toner... But i can't complain as it does its job :)
The Skin Hydrating booster is a little bit like a serum/oil, you can mix it with your moisturiser for added benefits or you can use it on target areas that need extra care, i used this once on its own and it felt nice and seemed to work, but i dont think ive used it often enough for it to make a noticable difference to my skin so i can't really comment much on it just yet.
Finally the Barrier Repair cream, i've loved this since i studied beauty therapy a few years ago, i always used to get irritated skin after i'd had a facial and my tutor used to give me this, and it calmed my skin down instantly, so i had to buy it (even though it is a tad on the expensive side for 30ml of product). BUT it really does work. It has a velvety feel due to the silicones in the product, which create a barrier on your skin to protect it from the environment, such as dust etc... so it is perfect for people with allergies and reactive skin types, I cant describe how good it feels when i have irritated itchy tight skin and i smooth this on, it immediatley soothes and makes your skin feel super soft! For me its worth every penny!

Dermalogica products are a little bit expensive and i dont think i can afford to try anything else just yet but you really do get what you pay for, so if you have the money to spend or you want to treat yourself then i'd definately say its worth it :)
