A- Skin type can change over time due to aging, environmental and hormonal factors and lifestyle choices. If you move from a hot climate to a cold climate or vice versa, your skin type will most likely change. Also during pregnancy, menopause or during any other period of hormonal change, or during a stressful period your skin type may change.
Dear All,
Keeping you up to date with new products, ranges & special offers on our website www.dermacaredirect.co.uk.
I will throw in some of my skincare tips as well!
Happy Easter!
Spring is in the air, and there’s no better time of year to shake off the cold winter weather and embrace beauty with healthy, radiant skin. It’s time to give your skin a spring clean. Exfoliation is not only a great way to remove layers of old, dead skin that have accumulated during winter, but it also stimulates circulation in the skin and encourages the production of new skin cells.
Microdermabrasion treatments are a gentle and painless method of exfoliating the skin on the face or body, to remove dead skin cells, oils and other debris that clog pores and lead to dull complexions and blemished skin. Our offer of the month is a 10% discount off all microdermabrasion treatments throughout April.
We have added an exciting new skincare brand to our webstore – CELFIX Cosmeceuticals – which is a leading provider of DNA focused skincare.
Your skin’s DNA is subject to thousands of daily environmental assaults ranging from pollution to sun exposure. Your body naturally repairs its DNA every day. However, it can only repair about 50% of the daily damage. CELFIX DNA focused skincare can help the body to recover from the rest of the damage by utilising a targeted delivery of natural recovery enzymes, nourishing antioxidants and advanced moisturisers.
The CELFIX Cosmeceuticals skincare line contains 3 naturally occurring recovery enzymes: Arabidopsis Thaliana, Micrococcus Lysate and Photolyase – that attack DNA damage caused by UV rays. Formulated with l-Ergothioneine, a botanical amino acid, CELFIX products also provide superior anti-oxidant protection. Evodia extract found in this skincare line helps to soothe skin and reduce the appearance of redness. Hyaluronic acid helps to normalise the skin’s moisture balance resulting in softer and smoother skin with decreased lines and wrinkles.
The CELFIX Cosmeceuticals skincare line consists of 3 products:
Celfix DNA Youth Recovery Facial Serum
Celfix DNA Ceramide Renewal Nourishing Cream
Celfix DNA iQuad Infusion Total Eye Complex.
The Neova skincare brand also has a range of DNA products:
NEOVA DNA Total Repair
NEOVA DNA Repair Factor Nourishing Lotion
Neova DNA Damage Control SPF – the very popular smart sunscreens.
Medik8 launches Growth Factor serum
Medik8 serum is perfectly designed for all skin types.
Youth Activating Complex with triple-filtered EGF professional strength Growth Factors are particularly useful for reversing the signs of ageing. EGF (Epidermal Growth Factors) has been proven to increase the number of epidermal cells and the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid to smooth lines and wrinkles, increase skin tone and refine skin texture. Medik8 uses a triple-filtration method, to guarantee high activity, purity and safety profile, and a liposome delivery system for better penetration. To accelerate the results we recommend using this alongside a Dermaroller twice a week.
Medik8 Growth Factor Youth Activating Serum is the must have anti-ageing product for 2012, and is now available from Dermacare Direct.

The anti-ageing Nuface device we launched last month has been extremely popular.

Tips: applying products – how long do I wait?
I often get asked about how long to wait between applying the various products in a daily skin-care routine. Well the answer is that you don’t have to wait at all unless you personally prefer to wait (with the exception of retinol products).
Your skin can actually handle many ingredients at once. As it turns out, skin is capable of handling a lot, and 99% of the time, any one product in your routine doesn’t get in the way of the others you may be using. Think of it like your diet: whether you eat all of your vegetables at once or take small bites out of them as you enjoy the other food on your plate. Your body is going to get the same nutritional benefits from the veggies in your meal!
More importantly, it is the order in which the products are applied & how the products are absorbed that matters. For example a serum based product is always better applied first, followed by a cream based product.
Exceptions to this rule – Sometimes two different products’ textures just aren’t compatible—they don’t play well together—so waiting between applications for them to dry is best.
Finally, it is important to remember that the performance of any products applied is unaffected by the use and application of any other product.
Hope that you all have a restful Easter break – from all of us at the Dermacare Direct team!
Don’t forget our monthly offer – 10% off all Microdermabrasion products throughout April.

More importantly, it is the order in which the products are applied & how the products are absorbed that matters. The rule of thumb is thinnest through to thickest (the thickest product being the sunscreen) For example a serum based product is always better applied first, followed by a cream based product.

SkinCeuticals Blemish & Age range specifically addresses the issue. The hero product is the serum, which contains salicylic acidto combat blemishes, glycolic and citric acids to treat fine lines, and dioic acidto reduce excess sebum and help prevent hyper-pigmentation. You can use it with the other products in the range, but even if you just add it to your existing skincare routine you should find it very helpful.
