Today found me enjoying the class
room again at Dermalogica's training centre in Letherhead. It was
time to get our brains in gear, our ears open to listen and our eyes
ready to see how Dermalogica comes together with the fantastic
concepts of Face Mapping and Skin Bars!
For those of you who are reading this
and have never come across Dermlaogica before, this really is for
you. Even if you have used the products for years but would like a
refresh, I really think that a good review can always come in handy.
Face Mapping is the way we analyse
your skins health by looking at your skin in 14 different zones.
Starting with 'Zone 1' on the left side of your forehead and working
down to 'Zone 14' on the neck, your skin can be totally cared for as
each zone will show different concerns that you may have and want to
deal with. It will also show me how great your skin is and how how
you can continue to enjoy that through using the best products on the market. The
products that you take home will be ones that will be solely chosen for
you on the information that I have gained through the consultation
and Face Map that I carry out for you.
Face Mapping forms the core of
everything that Dermalogica has to offer; from your home care product ranges to
the information I need to make your skin care treatment totally
customized for you. It should never be missed out and always offered
to you, no matter which Dermalogica Skin Care Centre you visit around
the world.
My face was mapped today and if
mainly showed that I had great skin tone, but I needed to work on my
dehydration and sensitivity with out forgetting to treat the blocked
pores around my nose and ears.
The fact that I needed to work on my
dehydration and sensitivity together is because the lack of hydration
in the skin is weakening my lipid barrier, so I don't have enough of
my natural protection against water loss or allergens getting into my
skin and irritating it. If I can get my hydration levels up, my
barrier can repair and then the skin can calm down.
All this from a six minute skin
analyses!
Skin Bar is were it all comes
together for you. As your therapist (me!) goes through the products that
they think would benefit your skin and allow your skins health to get
stronger, you get to try the products yourself. It was so much fun to
do today; getting all the products out to play with, trying them with
water, seeing the results and talking openly about the skin concerns
that we all have. Skin Bar also allows you to get to know the
products before you take them home, so you know how and when to use
them. This prevents the all too inevitable situation of getting a bit
stuck when the bottles hit the bathroom shelf! Plus, with your Face
Map you are given a copy of it with the products and times to use it
clearly marked down for you, so you can stick it on the bathroom
mirror and simply follow your therapist's advice step by step.
