At Dermalogica skin bars you don’t just buy skincare you experience skincare (Photos)

What’s wrong with my skin, it can look so flat sometimes and I don’t know why, I am using good skincare at the same time being aware of what is in each product, so why does it look so flat, and uninteresting. You can change all of that, with a trip to the Dermalogica Skin Bar Soho to have a five minute info fix called Face Mapping. What can you learn from face mapping? well like I did you can learn that the products you have, you may not be using correctly.

The solution is a visit to the Dermalogica Skin Bar in Soho to experience Face Mapping a technique that is unique to Dermalogica, you can have all of those irritating questions answered in literally five minutes. Dermalogica recommends that you keep your face mapping profile up to date as the skin (which if very true) is changing all the time.

I liked the Dermalogica skin mapping technique, its quick it’s not just a light touch to the skin, it is an effective way whereby the face is divided into sections, and these sections reflect differences in texture, heat, tone and health of the skin. The Dermalogica therapist has a very sure sweeping action over each section as they read the results of what they are experiencing and visualizing through an LED headlamp. With each section you will get immediate feedback from the therapist on solutions.

After the face mapping we looked at product and I was able to practice using all the products that were recommended, from cleansing, toning, exfoliating, moisturizing, eye treatment and sun protection. The benefit of doing this is that the expert is in front of you, so if you are not applying the right pressure or too much pressure they can correct you, for me I had been using a product incorrectly.

Dermalogica daily microfoliant was a product I thought was too easy to use, and so I did not ask or read up how to use this product properly. I was using it in the morning and then rinsing off in the shower, but I was not preparing the product correctly, by making a light paste in the palm of my hand first and then applying onto my skin. I was just placing the powder in my palm and then massaging over the skin and not getting the full benefits from this product.

At the Dermalogica Skin Bar, where you can get into training mode I learnt how to correct this mistake, then applied the product correctly to my skin and immediately saw the difference, this is a big benefit to meet your Dermalogica expert regularly so and experience the product the right way
