Testing out MANY Dermalogica Samples (Post one of many to come)

Hi everyone,

I’ve really been collecting and saving samples for so long that I actually have a HUGE stash of Dermalogica samples that I’m finally going to use up. I also have many of their sunproduct samples, but it’s not quite sunny enough to test those out yet.

I thought it would be nice to put away all my normal skincare products (except for my eyecream because I don’t have a sample for that) and test out all the Dermalogica and not test a specific product (even though I will give my opinion, I don’t think that a little sample can actually give you enough information for a full on review).

I thought I’d give you a picture of my face as it was this morning before I started the Dermalogica test. This is a freshly washed face (no makeup to even hide that I’m sick at the moment or to hide my hyperpigmentation):

The products I’m using this morning are:
Dermalogica – Daily Resurfacer

This was really odd because you’re “scrubbing” your face with one finger. Which means that your face suddenly looks a lot bigger
It felt really nice even though my skin did get a little red directly afterwards and during, but within 5 minutes it was normal again.
It’s night time now and my skin feels really smooth still.

Dermalogica – Sheer Moisture SPF 15

The product I used over this needed to have an SPF because the Resurfacer has a few acids in it and I wanted to protect my skin (even though I’m staying inside because I’m sick I do have the curtains open and sundamage can get you behind windows as well). When I applied this it gave me that grey look which is the SPF, when I let it sink in after 5 minutes that disappeared, so don’t think that lasts the entire day. I wouldn’t wear this on a day when someone was taking a photograph of me using flash photography though, I think this will flashback quite a lot. I haven’t been wearing anything over this the entire day and my skin feels moisturised and nice but not tacky or dry at all. So I’m very happy with it so far. I think I can get about three uses out of this packet though, so I’ll give you more feedback in a few days.

It’s almost time for bed now and yes even though I’m ill I’m still cleansing my skin (I think I have good skin thanks to my mum and me taking good care of it. If I didn’t have hyperpigmentation I wouldn’t complain about anything skinwise).
I’ll be using the Special Cleansing Gel (which is a soap free foaming gel) that I will use with my Clarisonic and the Active Moist (which may not be for my skintype because it’s for skin with excess oil production) but you can use this day and night so I’ll be using this as a nightcream with the Sheer Moisture as my daycream the next couple of days.
More information will be on the website tomorrow.

I hope you’ve had a great day and sleep well tonight.
