Dermalogica's intensive moisture balance is a popular moisturiser for dry skin conditions. Let's face it none of us are getting any younger and as we get older the need for a good moisturiser becomes a major concern as our skin dries out more and more.
What makes this dermalogica moisturiser so good?
Your average moisturiser is designed to be a barrier against the environment, not allowing your skin to breath, leading to clogging of the skin and not allowing any of the ingredients to penetrate into the surface of the skin.
But along came dermalogica to the rescue with new ingredient technology that can help restore moisture back in your skin.
Since a lot of the damage to the skin is caused by free radicals, it makes perfect sense to include antioxidants in a moisturiser to neutralise free radicals, making them more stable and preventing free radical damage, which cause inflammation, which causes premature aging!
Dermalogica's Intensive Moisture Balance contains powerful antioxidants such as grape seed extract (which is said to be fifty times more powerful than vitamin E and is rich in oil), plus the protective vitamins of A, C and E to fight against free radicals.
Dermalogica use the power of liposome technology to deliver vitamin C into the skin, giving you longer-lasting benefits as it is released over time.
When vitamin C is applied to your skin it can last in the skin for as long as three days, and it will not wash off, as it penetrates deep into the skin doing it's job of protecting the skin against free radical damage.
Ginko Biloba is another fabulous antioxidant used in this moisturiser, that also revitalises the skin thanks to it's circulation properties and also helps to strengthen capillaries. With every application of intensive moisture balance you know you are preventing daily damage from free radicals and increasing the hydration in your skin.
This dermalogica moisturiser is suitable for somebody with dry skin conditions or prematurely-aged skin, it is a thicker texture oil based cream, so if you experience an oily t-zone this cream is not for you and if you are under thirty, you are more suitable for a less heavier-weight cream such as dermalogica's skin smoothing cream.
Coneflower is an ingredient I just love and is found in this dry skin reviver dermalogica moisturiser. Coneflower actually can help stop the breakdown of collagen hylauronic acid and elastin in the skin and helps maintain and protect the skin's firmness and elasticity - you can see why I like it!
Hylauronic acid is found naturally in your skin and is responsible for supporting your collagen and elastin fibres and hydration. Another ingredient what is in this product is the phytonutrient Wild Yam Extract that helps to soften and smooth the skin. As you can see intensive moisture balance is more than just a moisturiser and helps to balance the skin.
Using this moisturiser morning and night is not only maintaining and protecting your skin's health but helping to improve dry skin conditions.
If you going to wear intensive moisture balance in the daytime you need to apply a good sunscreen over the top, preferably one with the added protection of vitamins.
