If you're anything like me, then you've probably made a promise to yourself that this year, you're going to really start taking care of your skin. It's something that I say to myself all the time, but to be quite honest I find myself just reaching for a face wipe or micellar water more often than I'd like to admit and calling it a day, without a blob of moisturiser in sight.
Luckily, with my new years resolution in mind, I was very kindly sent a box of Dermalogica products from Influenster to try out. The box included a Pre Cleanse Balm, Cleansing Gel, the new Daily Superfoliant and finally their Skin Smoothing Cream.
Dermalogica is a brand that I always associate with being at the spa, so although I've never owned any of their products before, I was pretty excited to try them out
First in the routine is the Pre Cleanse balm, which is honestly a game changer in itself! I've never used a balm before but I love this product and it's definitely my favourite out of all the products. I've always liked using oil based products on my skin, and this balm does an amazing job a getting the bulk of my makeup off before the next steps. Oh, and I can't not mention the smell, it literally does smell like you're at the spa, which is always a welcome thing!
Next in the routine in the Special Cleansing gel, again this product is so nice, it lathers up nicely and helps to get rid of any remaining makeup left over from the first step

This next step includes one of Dermalogica's newest products, the Daily Superfoliant. This product contains active charcoal, red algae and tara fruit extract to help purify your skin and it also claims to absorb environmental toxins from within your pores which are known to age your skin.
The product comes in powder form, and once you mix it with water in your hands it turns into a paste which you then apply in circular motions onto your skin. It's a really nice gentle exfoliant and it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and ready for the final step
Lastly is the Skin Smoothing Cream. This is a lovely thick cream which is perfect for leaving on overnight to soak in to your skin. Like the rest of the products it smells lovely, but isn't to heavily perfumed so it doesn't aggravate my skin at all. In the morning my skin honestly feels so soft and hydrated.
I've been using these products for a little over a week now and I absolutely love them, they have such a luxurious feel to them that the whole process has become part of a routine which I love. I think it's important that this year we remember to take a few extra minutes to focus and take care of ourselves, whether that's with skin care, reading or running a bath to just relax.. it's the little things that make a difference
