How to get to know your skin
Last week I visited an Dermalogica event together with our brand relations manager Shelley to attend the launch of a new product. Well, that's always a good reason to get out of bed in the morning! I feel much more confident when my skin looks good too. And it just happens that Dermalogica is an expert in this area. We cruised over the canals in our brand new Jogha/#FITGIRLCODE car and arrived safe and sound at the event which took place in Amsterdam.
These kind of events are always a lot of fun and not only because I think Dermalogica is a cool brand! I love to chat with other bloggers and exchange stories and ideas. We don't get to see each other that often (you know Amsterdam - Rotterdam ;) ), so it's always nice to discuss all the ins and outs of bloggerworld. And of course the snacks hmm... the snacks. For once I didn't have to think about a healthy lunch.
Face Mapping
Face Mapping was an important part of the day. I had never done it before, so I was very curious! So, what is Face Mapping exactly? A Dermalogica specialist performs a skin analysis and determines which skin care products suit your skin best. I thought I was doing a reasonable job, but I guess not! I have a irritated skin around my nose and my chin is pretty sensitive as well. I'm not really surprised. I have a busy lifestyle and run from one meeting to the next. I also train several times a week at Elevator Sports. I sweat a lot during these killer workout and obviously this is not very conducive to your skin. A lot of sweat leads to irritated skin, so there you are! Conclusion: my nose and chin need extra attention and care so it's quite handy to know which products I should use. I got some tips on how to deal with this so I will start right away! According to the Face Mapping the following products are most suitable for my skin:
- UltraCalming cleanser: purifies and calms a sensitive and irritated skin.
- Skin smoothing cream: hydrates and nourishes combined to dry skin.
- Barrier repair: helps shield the sensitive skin against environmental and internal triggers.
- Gentle cream exfoliant: helps detach dead skin cells en increases cell renewal.
Concept store Maastricht
So, did you also get curious how to treat your skin properly, then don't forget to take a look at the Dermalogica concept store. It's the first store in the Netherlands, yes finally! The store is located in the centre of Maastricht, so I can hear your girls thinking... Perfect shopping weekend in Maastricht! ;) They offer many other treatments besides Face Mapping. I would love to try out the Skin Bar and Microzone treatment, but unfortunately I didn't have time yet, busy busy busy.
Skin Bar
As a true Dermalogica fan I really have to try out this treatment. It's calling my name! During a miniworkshop you get the opportunity to try out all the Dermalogica products. Sounds like heaven to me! Why didn't I try this earlier? And it's a good excuse to do something fun with your friends, or it can be the perfect birthday gift. Who wouldn't love that?
MicroZone
As I said earlier, like many others I'm really busy and I can use a boost once in a while. The MicroZone treatment is the answer to this problem. It's ideal when you're busy or stressed or just need some me-time. It gives you a lot of energy so you get to it again. I'm all over the place and I find it difficult to make time and plan something like that, but I think I will manage to take a day off between Christmas and New Years and treat myself in Maastricht. I'm already looking forward to it!
