Health and wellness have grown more popular over the years, but skincare in particular has become a new craze. There are a number of great skincare brands, but one brand stands out as the number one professional skincare line in the world — Dermalogica. Dermalogica is now used exclusively in the high-end spas at Sandals hotels and is also available at a few select spa boutiques across the island like In Skin Limited at Mid Spring Plaza and Nylorac at Loshusan Plaza. We’re happy to share with our Get the Look readers this week the latest on the world-renowned brand which we gleaned from the representatives themselves. Sarah Beek and Raymond E Simpson from Dermal Distributions USA, who were in the island for a week promoting the brand, and Dermalogica-certified aesthetician and therapist Rose Barnett of In Skin Limited.

Did you know that:

o Your skin changes constantly depending on the climatic conditions. Yes, even in Jamaica.

o Cumulative sun exposure is the number one cause of aging skin.

o Dermalogica products contain no synthetic fragrances or colouring, which are the two most popular skin irritants. These are replaced with more effective and highly sophisticated formulas. It also contains vitamins and antioxidants to nourish and replenish your skin.

o Dermalogica is a retail product that is primarily found in skincare salons, it is not an over-the-counter product as there should always be a Dermalogica trained therapist on hand to advise the consumer on how to use it.

o Dermalogica trains skincare professionals to use the Face Mapping system, which divides the skin into 14 zones and enables aestheticians to analyse every aspect of your skin.

Popular products:

1. Dermalogica Daylight Defense: a sun protection range of products that shields the skin from UVA and UVB rays and improves the general skin condition. Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester and renown actress Jada Pinkett-Smith believe it is the best sun protection product on the market.

2. Dermalogica Medibac Clearing Adult Acne Treatment: designed to treat, clear and prevent adult acne. Actress Lindsay Lohan swears by this product.

3. Clean Start by Dermalogica: this is similar to the Medibac treatment, but is specifically designed for teens and has been very popular since its debut eighteen months ago.
