ULTRACALMING FOR ULTRA STRESSED SKIN

Between breaking a sweat and feeling numb from the cold, our skin can’t catch a break. With constant exposure to ever changing elements, it is no wonder over 50 percent of people consider their skin sensitive. Although permanent cellular damage may result from the skin’s response to these elements, sensitized skin can be treated and Dermalogica recently launched their new UltraCalming system
as a solution.

The UltraCalming line consists of five products that all contain the UltraCalming Complex, including active ingredients such as red hogweed, oat kernel and ginger extracts, providing relief of inflamed, sensitized skin from various triggers, along with botanicals and peptides to resemble the skin’s natural protective barrier.

The products are meant for year-round use and include:

The pH-balanced UltraCalming Cleanser is a bestseller that served as the inspiration for the line. It maintains the skin’s protective barrier and its success in tackling sensitive skin was the inspiration for the UltraCalming line ($43.50, 250ml/ $65, 500ml).

The UltraCalming Mist is bound to be a FrontRowMag.com favourite! The toner fights to decrease inflammation while hydrating the skin. The smaller spray bottle makes it ideal to carry in a bag to spritz over our face for a fresh feeling or to counteract the dry indoor air ($45.50, 180ml).

The Barrier Repair ($53.50, 30ml) is a truly unique fast absorbing moisturizer as the completely waterless formula repairs the constant environmental damage our skin is inundated with.

Also battling to correct inflammation and redness is the UltraCalming Serum Concentrate ($68, 50ml) and for particularly bad skin days is the UltraCalming Relief Masque ($55, 75ml) which helps the skin recover from damage by encouraging healthy tissue function and barrier properties.

The Dermalogica UltraCalming system will be available as of September 2010 at select skin treatment centres, salons and spas across Canada.
