Living Skin by Dermalogica

The oxygen we breathe is vital to our survival – and to our skin health. As we age, our skin takes in and utilizes oxygen less effectively. Without sufficient oxygen, it lacks the energy to maintain its natural vitality. This can show up as fine lines, wrinkles, and an overall appearance that is dull, tired, and depleted. In this informative episode we talk with Karon Kelly Fernando, Education Development Specialist, Dermalogica Toronto, to learn how reawakening the skin is as simple as taking advantage of the oxygen that is all around us. Karon dives into the details of Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream, a daily liquid moisturizer that firms, lifts, and revitalizes with premium hydrating and oxygen-optimizing phytoactives. Utilizing natural actives derived from plants that thrive in low-oxygen environments, this advanced moisturizer helps skin better absorb and utilize oxygen – to leave skin looking smooth and strong. It's time to breathe new life into your skin!

Retinol and Retinoids are the gold standard when it comes to visibly helping with signs of skin aging like fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, and enlarged pores. When it comes to Vitamin A and the skin, the active form is retinoic acid. Luckily, we can treat the skin with other forms of retinol that are easily converted to retinoic acid at home and in the treatment room. In this episode, we are joined by Lesley Corridan, Education Manager for the UK, who shares with us her vast knowledge on how to be retinol-ready in and out of your service space. Lesley delivers the most updated information on our innovation Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum and she reviews our professional-only formula Retinol Accelerator along with the Pro Retinol Service. It's a jam-packed podcast with amazing information that you don't want to miss!

We all have days when our skin is sensitive – whether or not we are born with it. But treating sensitive skin isn’t always straightforward: it can be caused by genetics or brought on by lifestyle and environmental factors. Regardless of the cause, one thing is certain: sensitive skin’s barrier is often damaged, and it needs a chance to recover. Join Melissa Cella, Global Curriculum Design Manager with Dermalogica, as she shares all the details about Stabilizing Repair Cream and its ultra-soothing actives that calm on contact – helping to break the pattern of sensitive skin and help skin become more resilient over time. The balmy-cream formula melts into the skin to quickly alleviate redness, help prevent future irritation, and quickly reduce redness and discomfort. A proprietary Ceramide-Building Complex provides nourishing lipids, strengthening the skin’s barrier to lock in moisture and help keep signs of sensitivity at bay.

We know that everyone’s skin is different, but for individuals with dry skin, the focus for a skin care regimen can truly benefit from strengthening the lipid barrier to keep dryness at bay and lock moisture in. When the barrier is compromised, the skin becomes more vulnerable to moisture loss and is affected by weather changes or environmental stress. It can show up on the skin as flaking, dullness, roughness, tightness, or even irritation. In this episode we are chatting with Dermalogica Global Curriculum Developer, Jennifer Ahartz about our new innovation Melting Moisture Masque. She shares brilliant information on dry vs dehydrated skin and why barrier lipids are so critical.
