Q - How can I achieve more volume with my hair?
You can do this in a couple of ways.
You can integrate a volumizing spray gel such as the Lemongrass Lift by Mop or
the Spray Starch by Redken into your hair regimen. Another way to achieve more
volume is by using a metal round brush during your blow dry. This gives the
roots of your hair a lift.
Q - What benefits
can I receive from a deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue
massage adjusts structural imbalances, promotes recovery from a prior injury,
and breaks up toxins for release. This type of massage requires deeper strokes
and trigger point therapy on
specific areas that need it most to balance the body.
Q - How can I improve the appearance of
my dry cracked heels?
Monthly pedicures will improve the
appearance and feeling of dry heels. Also, at-home maintenance, which includes
using a pumice stone daily when skin is softened and moist. Follow that up with
Cucumber Heel Therapy by Creative, a super hydrating cream.
Q - My nails have trouble growing, what
should I do?
Weekly manicures are recommended to
promote the growth of strong, beautiful nails. A Protein strengthener such as
Nail Tek 2 should be applied once per day.
Q - How can I control my frizzy hair?
You can control frizzy hair by using
Phytodefrisant. It is a serum you apply on wet hair and then blow dry with
a round brush.
Q - How does men’s skin differ from
women’s? Can men benefit from skin care products?
Men and women’s skin is similar in
structure, although men tend to have more hair and increased oil production.
Men can certainly benefit from a professionally-recommended skin care regime,
not only to remedy shaving problems, but also to combat other problems
frequently associated with men’s skin. For example, because men tend to have
oilier skin than women, they tend to have more blackheads and breakouts. A
program of cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturizing will help prevent blemishes
and keep the skin in optimum condition.
Q - I’m a soap and water user now, and I
don’t want a complicated regimen. What should I use?
Many people prefer not to have a
complicated skin care regimen, but they realize that by taking the soap and
water approach can damage and dehydrate the skin. Dermalogica recommends that
you use Special Cleansing Gel, a soap-free, foaming skin wash; Multi-active
Toner, a rebalancing facial spritz; and Active Moist, a light, oil-free face
lotion. This quick and efficient routine takes little time, and will leave your
skin in its best condition.
Q - I’m never out in the sun, why should
I use a sunscreen?
No matter how sun-phobic your daily
habits might be, you are exposed to more UV light than you think. Whether
walking to your car, driving to work, or taking a quick break outside, dangerous
UV rays are constantly bombarding your skin and causing cumulative damage.
(Note that the side of your face closest to your car’s window will exhibit more
signs of premature aging if you don’t regularly use sunscreen.) Be sure to
apply a sunscreen every morning, even if it’s overcast. Dermalogica’s unique
Solar Defense Booster is ideal, since it allows you to customize your favorite
moisturizer or foundation with sunscreen protection. When mixed in equal parts
with any Dermalogica moisturizer, Solar Defense Booster provides a protection
factor of SPF 15.
