Dermalogica –Face Mapping

The Dermalogica range has long been a favourite skin treatment OF THE Hollywood stars. Among those praising Dermalogica are Rihanna and Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay is particularly keen on the SPF products from Dermalogica.

You may well have heard of Dermalogica as it is the skincare regime most recommended by professional make-up artists. However, if you are new to their range of products many saloons offer a free “face mapping” session which gives you an opportunity to try out some of the products and se how they react with your skin.

What the Dremalogica face mapping program is actually a facial which includes a deep cleanse, exfoliation, mask, and massage. The whole process takes around 15 minutes and is undertaken by a trained Dermalogica therapist.

In some ways it is like being at the dentists as you lay back with the bright spotlight shining down upon you. There is no escape as the therapist goes over every inch of your face searching for the telltale signs that tell her exactly what treatment will e right for you.

This is a far more details examination than one would normally expect from a beauty therapist but the Dermalogica therapist knows her business and can easily spot which areas of your skin might need specific treatments. But what is good is that the therapist gives you a detailed run down of her findings and will suggest suitable preparations for your particular skin.

In fact the next part of the Face Mapping is to apply some of the Dermalogia treatments to various parts of your face. This is because Dermalogia believe that each persons face is unique and different treatments may be required for different parts of your face.

After a Face Mapping session journalist Helen Tither of the Manchester EDvening News described the treatment “the facial itself, products smell cool and clinical in a satisfying kind of way - that makes you feel they are actually doing you some good.”
