Our skin is precious. It’s an indicator of health and it’s the first thing we look at when we’re in front of the mirror.

Although, our confidence emanates (and grows) from a hug variety of factors, whether they be emotional or physical, our skin can play an enormous part too. Most of us strive to look our best (let’s all indulge in a few days off though please) and for many this begins with skin. The largest organ in our body deserves oodles of love and attention. So if you’re someone who finds they have dry or sensitive skin, be sure to go on the hunt for the very best there is – a brand that has devoted themselves to skin research and who truly puts the skincare consumer at the forefront. If you have dry or sensitive skin, take a look at Dermalogica’s Calm Water Gel and Barrier Defense Booster – the ingredients will truly work wonders. Trust us – these skin professionals have done it again with their brand-new Ultra Calming Duo. Say good-bye to those pesky skin flare-ups! Calm Water Gel (€50.80, 50ml) Sensitive skin needs hydration. Dermalogica's gel formula ensures a non-greasy yet nourishing boost. It forms a weightless barrier against environmental pollutants while locking in moisture and calming the skin. It contains dual hyaluronic acid – wait ‘til you hear about this! Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that’s already in our skin. Babies have loads of it, hence why their skin so beautifully soft. But with age, the amount our skin produces starts to drop, so popping on a bit extra will help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, while upping the skins elasticity and firmness. It grabs moisture, and holds on to it so as the skin can have a good go of absorbing it. The Calm Water Gel contains over 1 percent hyaluronic acid so we know it works! Barrier Defense Booster (€79.40, 30ml) If your skin is feeling dry and sensitive, it will also benefit hugely from the nourishing and moisturising effects of the Barrier Defense Booster’s oat oil and squalene compounds. And yep – both are super calming! Squalene is suitable for essentially every skin type – it’s made in our very own skin cells after all, and it’s found in olives and rice bran to name a few too. It locks in moisture and reduces the appearance of fine lines, sensitivity and dry patches. So ladies, if you're looking for something that ACTUALLY works. We think you might have found it.
