Makeup is fondly referred to as ‘war paint’ and any cosmetic to do with skincare, from moisturiser to aftershave, is considered a part of a face-prep arsenal. The potions, powders and products we use in our daily ritual of face redecoration all require careful consideration because even what lies far beneath the base coat has a profound effect on the finished product. Everyone’s skin conditions and needs are totally individual and as such, the way you treat your skin needs to cater for that. There is no “one size fits all” option and it is in understanding and approaching this dilemma that Dermalogica comes into its own, offering a wide range of skincare products that focus on optimum skin health and bespoke skin regimens.
By using the process of painting a room’s walls as an analogy for face prep and beautification we can see that the same basic points you consider when decorating a room apply to choosing or changing a facial skincare regime. The first question you ask yourself is why are you redecorating? Is it because of patches or discolouration? Do you need to fix an excessively glossy or excessively matte finish? In the same way colour charts and paint guides help you with your interior decoration choices Dermalogica’s Face Mapping® analysis allows you to determine which is the best method and best product to fix your particular skin issues.
