| - I'm admittedly late to the skincare game, but forever grateful to have found Dermalogica (& even more so to have one of their stores locally!)
My husband & I first heard about the brand on NPR's How I Built This podcast... The owner's story was pretty amazing and we loved her knowledge and the way she talked about her products.
When I mentioned to my husband that I wanted to start better protecting my skin with SPF (but was weary of the possible chemicals involved) he suggested I referred back to Dermalogica. Genius! Their website was full of helpful information & their skincare experts knew even more.
I went in today and worked with David. He did a (free) face mapping to really look at my skin and what's happening with it. I've been having hormonal breakouts and some blocking that my normal regimen wasn't touching. David took me through a sampling of my "ideal skincare routine" and by the end, my face was softer, smooth, appropriately hydrated and lacking the red blotchiness I'd had upon entering the store. It was amazing!
I loved the no-pressure, educational atmosphere that he created. Every question I asked received an answer and I got to sample all of the products in store, with a guide showing me how to use them. It took the fear and intimidation out of the buying experience. I ended up spending $200 on a cleanser, exfoliant, moisturizer, and spf. He said two of the products would last me 8-10 months and the others 3-6... which really doesn't make them that costly in comparison to the no-results natural items I'd been buying at Spouts. Best of all, I know that they are right for my skin. Sometimes, we do our best to create a hygiene regimen, but without consulting an expert, we end up harming our skin more than helping it. I'm incredibly grateful to Jane (creator), David (my new expert) and the Dermalogica brand for restoring my confidence via my skin!
