Serious Relief For Sensitized Skin

Part Two!

Today we will be taking a closer look at the product line that actually builds your skins tolerance: Dermalogica's UltraCalming system!

There are 5 stunning products for you to take away with you after your Skin Care Treatments at Cornerstone Therapies. For people like me with skin that flushes, feels hot and itches and burns at the drop of a hat, you may need to use the whole system for a certain amount of time. If your inflammation is only apparent in certain zones of your skin, you may need just a couple from the range to tie into your already customized skin care routine. Tomorrow we will be looking at what your Bio-Sensitivity Score is, and from there you can start thinking about how to sooth your skin in a strategic and personalized manner.

So let's take a close look at these fantastic new products!

UltraCalming Cleanser! The new formula.

For those of you who used the previous version of UltraCalming cleanser, you wont be disappointed with this new and updated formula.

This is an extremely gentle, pH balanced cream/gel that glides easily over the face and eyes to cleanse your skin. It has the added bonus of being totally Sulphate Free, so even people with the most reactive skin can enjoy this 'must have' product. It rinses away easily with water, or you can wipe it away with a damp cotton pad. It doubles up as a non-waterproof makeup remover, so is ideal if you travel a lot.

The UltraCalming Complex reduces sensitivity, and raspberry promotes healing whilst also soothing inflamed skin. Lavender acts as your antiseptic and disinfectant and Cucumber contains your cooling agents. Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B) makes and appearance as well to aid in tissue regeneration and acts as a humectant.

UltraCalming Mist

This replaces Soothing Protection Spray, which many people loved. However those with inflamed acne said that they didn't like the feeling of the residue that it left on the skin. So The Mist has launched to help sooth and hydrate skin whilst quickly reliving sensitivity. It calms stinging and aggravation on the skin really quickly and feels as light as a feather, quickly absorbing into the skin and leaving no trace. You can even use it during the day over makeup.

Because keeping hydrated when suffering from sensitised skin, this product is key to keeping that moisture present in the skins cells. Use it after you have cleansed and before your treatment moisturiser for skin radiating with hydrated health.

Aloe Vera is the skin soothing agent that we are interested in with this product as it is well known for its soothing and healing qualities. Used in conjunction with the UltraCalming Complex, you simply can't go wrong with it.

UltraCalming Serum Concentrate

The antidote for skin sensitivity! This great product helps interrupt inflammatory triggers to prevent flare-ups. It is best used every day so that the products have a continual effect on the skin. For those with inflamed acne, you can use this products on it's own as it will provide you with enough hydration on it's own. For those of you with Rosacea, Eczema, Psoriasis and sun damage it is great when used with Barrier Repair. Also, if you are having non-invasive cosmetic procedures, this is safe for you to use and will help to calm and sooth your skin after your treatments.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-15 is the long word that makes the magic happen! It targets the nerve reaction in the skin and calms it right down for you by decreasing the release of pro-inflammatory mediators. It also increases the skin's sensitivity tolerance, so over time your skin will be less reactive.

Barrier Repair: The new formula!

This unique organic silicone anhydrous moisturiser melts into the skin and allows a your lipid barrier to repair whilst shutting out environmental assaults; helping to prevent further skin damage. Due to it's smooth and even base it is ideal to use before makeup application.

Oats, Evening Primrose and Borage Seed sit very snugly next to the UltraCalming Complex to promote a healing and calming effect. Silicones fortify the skin's natural defence against the elements and antioxidant help is found in the form of Vitamin C.

UltraCalming Relief Masque

Finally a home care masque that has been developed for the sole purpose of calming the skin!

Enriched with Colloidal Oatmeal to calm hyper-sensitive skin, this cream masque cares for your skin and promotes healing. It is so gentle that you can even use it over your eyes, which is great for those of you who suffer from Eczema in this area. The soothing remedy can be used 2 or 3 times a week; simply pop it on after you have cleansed the skin and relax for 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and follow with UltraCalming Mist and UltraCalming Serum Concentrate.

Do remember though, it does provide you with a protective layer after you have rinsed it off, so you will feel a silky smooth texture after the masque has been washed off.

The key ingredients next to the UltraCalming Complex are Protulaca Oleracea Extract that enriches the skin with Essential Fatty Acids, vitamins, flavanoids and anti-inflammatory agents which help control and reduce redness. The Colloidal Oatmeal helps to sooth your skin and mushroom extract reduces short and long term skin irritation.
