Dermalogica Multivitamin Hand & Nail Treatment

This hand/nail cream is one of those tiny, random samples that I've had and have no idea where I got it. At least I finally decided to try it, because it's darned good.

The Multivitamin Hand and Nail Treat does more than just moisturize my hands, it makes my nails look shiny and healthy. I suffer from drier nails in the cold as well as dry , cracked areas around the nail bed. Seeing this in the cupboard was a good find.

The tube says to use just once per day , and a visit to Dermstore.com gave me some of the ingredients: " Pro-vitamin B5 and algae extract soothe irritation and protect against environmental damage while licorice extract and vitamin C even the skin's tone. Vitamin A aims to diminish visible signs of aging as ginkgo biloba, grape seed and vitamin E shield with antioxidants"

I love that it's made my nails healthier. It's also not greasy or heavy and dries fast. Two thumbnails up.

$ 24.00 for 2.5 oz

Dermalogica Deal

Dermalogica Clean Start

Dermalogica makes some great products for adult oily/acne skin. Now they have a line meant for younger adults & teens.

Called Clean Start, I can tell you it works great for adults too. I have been using some of the products and find them to be very gentle. More gentle that you would expect a teen line to be, but that makes them less harsh for grown up skin.

I use the Bedtime for Breakouts serum almost every night on the T zone. This has 1 % Salicyclic acid and does a good job of keeping skin clear. I still get some tiny acne but nothing major.

Another nice product is the All Over Clear, a spritz for face that not only helps reduce shine but refreshes and treats with .5 % salicyclic acid.

There is also a nice , very light mattifying moisturizer with SPF 15 called Welcome Matte. This is great for the warmer months ahead.

A starter kit is available for $ 35.00 or you can buy larger sizes of the individual products . You can't buy online at Dermalogica yet, but other web outlets sell the line like Blue Mercury.( http://www.bluemercury.com/)

The starter kit contains:
-wash off, 1.7 oz
- all over clear, 1.7 oz
- ready, set, scrub!, 0.50 oz
- welcome matte spf15, 0.50 oz
- bedtime for breakouts, 0.50 oz
- reusable bag

Dermalogica Stress Relief Candle

New from Dermalogica for the holidays is the Stress Relief Candle. I have been wanting to mention since smelling it in Sept. but it wasn't out yet so I had no info like pricing , etc.

I walked into a room during Fashion Week and it smelled so amazing. I soon found it was several votives lit of this new candle. The scent was soothing and a bit tart, and it reminded me just a bit of the holidays. There is no pine or spruce in there but just enough herbs to give it a tinge of a tree scent. It's the rosemary and lemon I think. A perfect combo of astringent, citrus and greenery. Other notes are sandalwood, lavender , tea tree and eucalyptus. It is uplifting and relaxing at the same time.

The candle is now available and would make a nice complement to the holiday rush . Burn while wrapping.

There are two sizes to choose from:

65 hour burn time $ 28.00

3 votive set with a burn time each of 25 hours $ 41.00

They are limited edition so stock up now.

Dermalogica is available at Ulta stores and at http://www.dermalogica.com/
