This
is a review of the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant and the Dermalogica
Ultimate Buffing Cloth.
Dermalogica
Daily Microfoliant
The
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is described as "Gentle, daily
use exfoliating powder for all skin conditions. Unique Rice-based
powder formula activates upon contact with water, releasing Papain,
Salicylic Acid and Rice Enzymes that micro-exfoliate dead cells,
instantly leaving skin smoother and brighter. Our unique Skin
Brightening Complex helps to balance uneven skin pigmentation while a
super-soothing blend of Green Tea, Ginkgo and Colloidal Oatmeal helps
to calm the skin, leaving it extraordinarily clear and refreshed.
Gentle enough to use on a daily basis. Not recommended for users of
medically-prescribed exfoliation products. Formulated without
artificial fragrances and colors."
Price:
$52 for 2.6oz
This
may seem a bit pricy but for a professional line product it's a great
price. Since this product is concentrated, you will use a lot less
product. You will be using about a ½ a teaspoon each time so this
product should last you a long time. Also, if you're exfoliating
properly each day, you will use less moisturizer because it will be
able to penetrate more easily.
Formula
This
formula is a rice-based formula and it's activated by water. I really
like the gentle exfoliating it provides although some people that
have to have that super-abrasive feeling when they exfoliate might
need something different.
The
salycilic in this product is going to shed cells and get inside your
pores and clean them out as well as eat any surface oils. Say goodbye
to those breakouts because this ingredient will shed cells over
microcomodones(the start of zits) and prevent breakouts. The papain
in this product is going to lighten hyperpigmentation by shedding the
skin on dark spots. The papain will help even your skin tone.
This
product aslo contains Green Tea, Ginkgo and Colloidal Oatmeal which
is a super-soothing blend to calm the skin.
This
is does not just exfoliate our skin but treats your skin at the same
time. What an amazing combination of ingredients.
Results
I
do think this product adequately exfoliates and does make your skin
soft and smooth. I've also noticed my face is completely rid of all
oil after exfoliating and I am less oily throughout the day. I do use
significantly less moisturizer when exfoliating with this product
every day.
Where
To Buy
Ulta,
Sephora or facial clinics that carry the line such as Massage
Retreats
Overall
Assessment
This
product provides adequate exfoliating, is gentle enough to use every
day and also has added benefits. It's also great for any skin type. I
do think that people that need to have that abrasive feeling need
something different but then they couldn't exfoliate every day and
they wouldn't get these great benefits so I'd give it a 9 out of 10.
Dermalogica
Ultimate Buffing Cloth
The
Dermalogica Ultimate Buffing Cloth is described as "A hygienic
exfoliating cloth to buff and polish the body to silky perfection.
Use with Conditioning Body Wash to clean and exfoliate rough, dull
skin in even the most hard-to-reach areas. Perfectly-sized for
scrubbing the back and keeping skin super smooth. Made from
extra-durable Nylon fiber that rinses clean and dries quickly."
Price:
$15
This
is certainly a great price for a product that lasts forever and is
hygenic. The loofas I've had do not last long enough and I probably
buy a few a year. This has so many uses and benefits it's definitely
a steal for $15.
Product
Details
The
buffing cloth is super-exfoliating and leaves your body feeling soft
and smooth. This is going to lead to better moisture absorption and
will also prevent ingrown hairs and breakouts. You can also use it to
exfoliate your ears and behind your ears. It's large enough to reach
around your back and the nylon fiber is durable. This is quick drying
so no need to worry about bacteria growth and it's easier then to
bring with you when you travel or to the gym.
Results
I've
noticed a drastic decrease in ingrown hairs that I'd get from waxing.
Now I don't get any at all. The exfoliating results prevent them and
I'm soft all day long. The moisturizer is obviously penetrating
because my legs don't look dry halfway through the day. My ears are
free of closed and open comodones(blackheads and pimples and my back
has become less irritated and itchy from dryness.

Overall
Assessment
Well
I'm throwing out my loofa for good and recommending this to all my
body waxing clients. This is the perfect solution to breakouts on the
back and dry skin on the body. I am very pleased with the durability
and would give it a 10 out of 10.

Facial
masks provide deep nourishment to the skin, so why do so many people neglect to
use a mask? Because it takes longer; most masks need to sit on the skin for
about 10-15 minutes. Not many people want
to add time to their skin-care routine.

Masks
These
masks deal with wrinkles and loss of firmness. There are many ingredients to
instantly firm and lift. Golden seaweed restores skin resilience. Brazilian
Fruit Extracts, if in a mask can promote collagen production to plump skin and
