When my beautician told me she was going to be changing to the dermalogica range, I groaned and promptly cancelled all of my facials with her! I had heard bad reports, years before, on the Dermalogica and I wasn't going to take any chances.
Well, six months into her using the Dermalogica range I gave into to her enthusiasm for the product and booked a facial. At the end of the facial all I could say was 'wow!' The product was fantastic and had turned my oily patchy skin into a peaches and cream complexion! Over the next few months I bought the key products, cleanser, toner, mask and moisturiser, so when she told me about their new product - Daily Microfoliant - a couple of months ago, I had my cheque book out before she asked me if I wanted a free sample!
Now you may think I am a salesman’s dream, and I buy whatever I am told about, but I am really a hard nut to crack and usually need a lot of convincing, but I was so sold on the other products I bought Daily Microfoliant without trying.
Dermalogica describe the product:
'this unique rice-based enzyme powder micro-exfoliates dulling debris and instantly leaves the skin noticeably smoother and brighter'
The product certainly lives up to their claims, the results never fail to amaze me when I use it every day and it is so gentle you can use it every day, even with oily skin, there is no excess oil production, as you get with other exfoliants, just beautifulclear, clean, begging to be touched skin.
Daily Microfoliant couldn't be easier to use either, you just cleanse, then use approximately half a teaspoon full on very wet hands to create a paste which you apply to your face in a circular motion and massage it in for one minute - as far as I am concerned it is one of the most productive minutes of my day!
I would recommend this product to anyone who is tired of a dull, patchy, oily skin, it may be a bit expensive, but the tub (just under three ounces at £20) last and last, which in the long run makes it very economical. As far as I am concerned the product is priceless, even my boyfriend noticed the difference, and as you girls out there know, that's almost unheard of!
Daily Microfoliant is available from Dermalogica trained Beauticians and not in any high street shops, which is the only thing I consider to be a negative, I just can't pop out in my lunch hour and pick some up!
