ESSENTIAL SKIN SAVERS

Great skin does not come easy unless you are blessed with good genes. Have you ever wondered why you have sudden skin breakouts as soon as the dizzying holiday parties and festivities start?

Just like any other part of the body, our skin is vulnerable to the negative effects of stress, lack of sleep, and unhealthy lifestyle. Here’s a scoop on some valuable skin saving tips.

Keeping Skin Clean & Clear

The days of squeaky clean skin are over. Now, almost every one feels that their skin is sensitive and require mild cleansing. Goodbye bar soap, hello gel cleansers. To keep your face clean and fresh, a mild skin cleanser like DERMAX SoGentle Gel Cleanser works best for sensitive skin. It naturally cleanses with soap berry extract. No sulfate. No paraben. No fragrance. No one comes close to it.

After cleansing comes toning. The search for a toner that can remove deeply embedded dirt and make up residue, while moisturising skin, can be confusing. What with scores of toners you will find in beauty stores. Recently, the development of micellar water technology changed the toner

landscape. Here comes DERMAX Bamboo Water Micellar Toner with moisturizing Jeju aloe. 

Invisible micelles of oil are encapsulated in bamboo water to gently eliminate unwanted residues on skin. It feels like simply using water, but with magical effect. Try it to believe.


Shade and Sunscreens

What’s good for the sunflower may not be good for your skin. UV rays cause skin dryness and premature aging. Excessive sun exposure simply translates to excessive sun damage. Avoid the sun as much as you can, and develop the habit of wearing sunscreen daily. DERMAX UV Milk Anti-Aging Sunscreen is our best selling sunscreen for daily use. It's nongreasy so you won't look like you just came out from the kitchen. Here's a tip. Use UV Milk as your make up base. With SPF 50+ and PA+++, it can give you more than what you will need for your daily sun protection.

Breaking Out From Breakouts

Stress, hormonal fluctuations, and bad genes can wreck havoc on your skin. Acne breakouts can happen in a jiffy, just when you have an important event coming up, where you have to look your best. For a quick fix, go to SkinStation for your acne injection. The flare up will subside as fast as it appeared.

Keeping skin clear is always a challenge to teens, and some adults who are blessed with oily skin. Blessed, yes, because people with oily skin tend to look younger longer. They suffer though with frequent breakouts. The key is keeping pores unclogged. No comedones. No breakouts. There's no better product out there to keep pores clear than AcneX gel cleanser with encapsulated salicylic acid. Add AcneX anti-acne complex capsules with lactoferin as your daily supplement to control skin oiliness.

DERMAX Professional products, acne injection, and other signature skin clinic procedures are exclusively available in all SkinStation, DERMAX Laser Center, and Blushing Beauty branches nationwide. Always ask for your free doctor's

consultation.
