There is something about finishing your week with a hours treatment with skincare specialists Dermalogica that sets you up for the weekend. A couple of weeks ago after the most hectic week ever I visited my local counter in John Lewis, West Quay for a consultation with Amy. During the consultation I learned so much about my skin, what I can do to combat my problem areas and I was able to just completely relax for what felt like the first time this year.
After taking a seat at the consultation area, Amy asked me to fill out a questionnaire on my skin, what I'm currently using and what I think my problem areas are, she then lead me through to their treatment room which they have at John Lewis Southampton until the end of June. After getting changed, I got myself comfy on the table. With relaxing music playing in the background, Amy started by giving my skin a double cleanse.
Firstly with PreCleanse and their Soothing eye make up remover followed up by the UltraCalming cleanser and Skin Resurfacing cleanser. I asked Amy to talk me through what she was doing as I'm completely new to Dermalogica and I wanted to learn as much as possible. The last half hour or so I became so relaxed that I probably could've nodded off and I appreciate the fact that Amy realised this and just let me drift into a silent lull. Sign of a fabulous spa therapist!
During the treatment Amy performed a face mapping skin analysis on my face which was so interesting. I came away with a skin prescription with all the information on and what products were used so I can spend up a storm on what I want to try next. The whole experience was very spa like which I wasn't expecting, I've always seen Dermalogica as a company for problematic skin and it's so much more than that. I'm lucky to of never suffered from problem skin or acne so that's why I thought Dermalogica wasn't for me but now I have more of an understanding I can't wait to head back in.
The products used were soothing, smelt incredible and very natural. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would recommend it to anyone. The two products used that I liked the most were the UltraCalming Mist and the Skin Hydrating Masque, both are currently sat on my wishlist. I was sent away with some products to try as well so I have some lovely Dermalogica products to keep me going for a little while.
The Dermalogica treatment room will be in John Lewis Southampton until June 2016. You can ring 02380 216347 to book in for a treatment. Dermalogica also provide free face mapping skin analysis throughout the year so make sure you pop along to your nearest counter to find out more.
