Imagine a product that is incredibly soothing and makes you look good, all the while correcting your skin? Such is the miracle-worker invented by Dermalogica, called Redness Relief Primer SPF20. This little green-hued beaut is a primer and skin treatment in one; it is a makeup primer, but it also provides comfort for sensitive skin made all the more sensitive by environmental effects. When you apply it, the green primer counteracts the flush of redness, protects it from UV damage with SPF20 protection, and feels delightfully smooth. I am wearing it now and it has balanced out my red patches. The Redness Relief Primer is available from 1st April 2015 and has a recommended retail price of $88.
Below: a montage of photos from the AMAZING Japanese dinner at Masu launched the Redness Relief Primer. They said they chose Masu as the venue as the primer’s green shade perfectly matches Japanese wasabi, and also Japan is considered so zen and calming. A perfect match!
Caroline from Dermalogica NZ told online media and bloggers at the launch dinner, held at Masu in Federal Street, about the four UltraCalming range products that the new Redness Relief Primer is part of. They come in this trial-size kit and include:
· Ultra Calming Cleanser is perfect for a sensitive or reactive skin. The unique gel/cream consistency glides easily over your skin and is instantly cooling. This cleanser can be used over face and eyes and does not require rinsing off the skin – just wipe off, this is especially important for the times someone’s skin is sensitive even to water. RRP$62 (250ml) or $21 (travel size)
· Ultra Calming Mist is a soothing and hydrating mist that quickly relieves skin sensitivity and calms skin redness. Gentle enough even to use after waxing to soothe the skin. The easy to use spray application allows you to mist the skin through the day for redness relief without smudging make up. RRP$64 or $21 travel size
· Ultra Calming Serum Concentrate is known as the antidote for skin sensitivity. It is a light weight milky serum that can used either alone or underneath a Dermalogica moisturiser. Key ingredients like oat extract and chamomile help control inflammatory triggers that result in flare- ups. Use it every day if skin redness is a constant challenge or at times of need including during elevated stress. RRP$105
· Barrier Repair is like a first aid product for hot, stinging or itching skin. The waterless formula literally melts on contact with the skin and creates a smooth protective shield to protect the skin from further irritation. Use it after the Ultra Calming Mist. RRP$77
Dermalogica FITE for women initiative
I love this idea: This FITE bag is made in partnership with Raven + Lily, handmade by women in India to invest in the potential of women worldwide to break the circle of poverty. FITE contributes with funding to help women in areas of need get business microloans (50,000 loans so far!) This is making a real difference to thousands of lives of women, their families, and communities, and is definitely worth supporting. The FITE bag is available from authorised skin centres and dermalogica.co.nz during the month of March. The 100% organic cotton bag made by women freed from the sex trade in India, retails for $2 as part of a gift with purchase promotion during March 2015 when you buy two full-sized Dermalogica products. All bag donation proceeds go to FITE (financial independence through entrepreneurship.) It includes four travel size products valued at $80.
