Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday ! How has your week been ? Enjoyed the Public Holiday yesterday ? We are in the process of moving at work - so I'm super busy lately and the blog is a little more quiet - but hopefully that will settle down from next week.  Dermalogica released two new amazing products for Sensitive Skin. It's no secret that I do suffer from more sensitive skin and I like using Chemical Exfoliators, Microneedling and Retinol which does make my skin a teeny bit more sensitive on those days I use it. And I mentioned quite a few times on the blog I'm extremely sensitive to scents so even smelling a flower scent that's too strong will make my skin a little red and itchy.  All skin types can get sensitive skin - from dry to oily. Sometimes it can be an occasional flare up - and sometimes it can be quite intense that you feel like you want to hide your face from the world ( I had a little incident over December with using some of my Retinol on my neck which...

Hi guys. Hope you are having a great week so far.  Happy Wednesday ! Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to a very informative Dermalogica SummerSkin&Fashion event at Rosebank Mall, where Sonette Donker & Gert Johan Coetzee shared some great suncare & fashion tips with us - and today I will be sharing some of those tips with you guys, along with MY favourite Dermalogica Suncare products.  As you know I am a big fan of sun protection - no one wants to look older in the long run than they really are. And yes , you still need sun protection - even in winter ! Some interesting Sun Fun Facts : Sunburn cooks the proteins in your skin , collagen and elastin. This is similar to putting your arm on a frying pan ! A person's risk of melanoma doubles if he or she has five or more sunburns in their life We need 10 - 15 min a day of sunlight which will allow us with the sufficient Vitamin D production - older people need a bit more . UV exposure can cause...

Hi guys ! Hope you all had a great week. As mentioned in my give-away earlier this week  HERE  that I will be posting about the new Dermalogica Concept store in Rosebank Mall.  I was lucky enough to be invited to one of their press events for the Rosebank Mall store end of July. These concept stores stock the whole range of Dermalogica products, as well as offer Face Mapping (  Face Mapping is a skin analysis will be used as a platform to help educate you about your skin, as well as advise you on your best treatment and take-home skin care routines. ) , Microzone Treatments ( These services are 20-minute, zone-specific treatments designed to achieve a specific, localised result on the skin ) and their full Facial treatments as well as the Skin Bar, where they have a product pool where you can play and test out the products for yourself . I really love the concept of the store, and will definitely go back when I test the BioSurface Peel and Microz...

Hi guys ! Hope you are all having a great week so far, 4 day weeks is seriously such a spoil this time of year.  Last week Thursday I was lucky enough to be invited to the Dermalogica BioSurface Peel Press Event, where they announced that Dermalogica will be offering a Brand New BioSurface Peel from August . We were all lucky enough to receive a voucher for this treatment as soon as it becomes available here, and I will definitely use it and report back on how it works etc. The lovely Sonette Donker from Dermalogica had an amazing presentation about the benefits of different types of peels, peels vs exfoliation , therapist vs doctors peels as well as the new range of products used in these peels.  So onto the definition of a peel - It's a controlled burn of the skin with acid.Your skin care therapist will monitor the whole process to identify how many layers of the peel product they will be using . This is a great superficial peel with NO down time ! And no peeli...

Hi guys ! Hope you had a great weekend. Can you believe we are in April already ? This is going to be a fun month, the blog is turning 2 this month so keep an eye out for some fun give-aways coming soon.  Over the weekend I was invited to the launch of Dermalogica's new skincare range -  Clear Start.  This range is aimed at and specially formulated for teenager skin. I especially like the concept of learning teenager to look after their skin from early on, we all know how it sucks to get those ugly breakouts (I do suffer from the occasionally breakout still even at 28 ) From the Dermalogica website - how it works clear start™ takes a three-level approach to clearing breakouts through combination therapy, combining the best of nature’s botanicals and the science of skin care. our formulas combine serious, medicated ingredients with skin-soothing botanicals – which means they’re tough on breakouts, but kind to your skin. our products deliver real results. and thos...
