How do you explain the international success of Dermalogica?
Dermalogica stands for personalized skin care solutions that deliver real results rather than false promises. Our products are a perfect combination of natural, herbal ingredients and modern high-tech active ingredients. The formulas are also suitable for vegetarians and most products can even be used by vegans. Dermalogica products are free from artificial colors and fragrances and can be used without parabens, dehydrating alcohol and even without Paraffinum Liquidum.
Who are Dermalogica products intended for?
Dermalogica products are unisex, suitable for both women and men. Which products fit which skin is the result of our patented skin analysis, Face Mapping®. And we use a kind of modular system in which all products from all lines can be combined. Thereby we find a solution for really every skin problem. Even unproblematic skin finds the care that helps it to stay healthy and resistant.
Which Dermalogica products should each of us have at home?
Definitely the Daily Microfoliant. This powder-based micro-exfoliation gently exfoliates even sensitive skin. It provides a great, healthy glow and, with regular use, even compensates for pigment irregularities.
Tell us about your skin care routine...
I am a total fan of our products from the UltraCalming line for sensitive skin. They provide a lot of moisture and soothe the skin super fast. I combine these products according to skin needs with special products.
Why is make-up removal so important at the end of the day?
During the day, a lot of things accumulate on the skin: waterproof make-up, care products and sebum. But the environment can also ensure that the skin pores close: keyword particulate matter pollution. Therefore, it is very important to remove everything from the skin in the evening, which does not belong there. At www.skinpollution.com, you can see directly how strong the current environmental impact is at your site.
Your Top 5 Beauty Essentials?
Definitely cleansing, exfoliation, moisturizer, eye care and sunscreen.
What is the biggest mistake when it comes to beauty care?
Often too many different products from very different brands are combined. Since it may happen then that ingredients do not harmonize with each other and thus does not show the desired effect. In addition, the skin needs time to adapt to new products. This can take up to four weeks, depending on your age. Only then can you really assess whether your new care will suit your skin.
What can we do effectively to prevent premature aging?
The best anti-aging product is a good sunscreen with antioxidants and a skin / fat / moisture ratio. Take care of sensitive skin on a physical, so purely mineral sunscreen. And protect your skin from the effects of air pollution. Here, a scrub with activated charcoal like our Daily Superfoliant is particularly suitable.
What is your personal philosophy of life?
With a little courage you can be who you want. And with a little more courage you can be who you are.
