My skin is always very dry in winter, but this winter has wreaked havoc. My skin is so dry and scaly and itchy… it’s driving me nuts. And now that Spring has sprung I know it’s going to get worse before it gets better. My skin hates change of season. I have discovered a range that has given so much relief though. I’ve been able to ditch the itch thanks to Bioderma Atoderm.

Ditch the Itch with Bioderma Atoderm

The Bioderma Atoderm range has been designed for very dry to atopic sensitive skin.

Through its Atoderm range, BIODERMA has an original solution for very dry to atopic sensitive skin. Thanks to its dermo-patented formulas, Atoderm biologically and lastingly restores the hydrolipidic film of skin lacking moisture and lipids.

A couple of weeks ago I received three products from the Bioderma Atoderm range to try and all the products have been a godsend.

When I received the parcel, I immediately tore it open as I was having a particularly bad skin day and was desperate for relief. My skin was so dry and tight it felt as though a just had a triple dose of Botox. The first product I reached for was the SOS Spray. I thought it was a thermal water spray (which is always so soothing), but a spritz on my face, I realised it was not… it was BETTER!

Bioderma Atoderm SOS Spray

I was taken aback by that first spritz as I expected a thin mist of thermal water; it felt more like a thin lotion. The effect was AMAZING! My skin felt soothed and calmed and the urge to scratch was 90% less than it was before I popped the cap on this bottle of liquid gold. HOLY GRAIL! The Atoderm SOS Spray is the product I’ve been waiting for all of my life. Gone are the flakes, the scales and that constant urge to scratch the skin off of my face. I also use the SOS Spray before I apply my makeup and on the very dry days, I spray a thin layer over my makeup as well. The spray leaves a transparent, slightly sticky-to-the-touch layer on the skin that offers the relief I’ve been praying for.

Atoderm SOS Spray benefits from a new scientific discovery: 2 new biological targets were identified as causing itching for skin prone to atopy or psoriasis. This care also acts on other biological pathways for a global action on either frequent or temporary itching. The new Skin Relief technology (containing Ambora and Green tea extracts) combined with the renowned soothing dermatological active ingredient Enoxolone blocks the biological process responsible for itching right from the start and directly targets each of involved pathways. The Skin Barrier Therapy™ patent protects even the driest skin from the bacteria that causes itching to intensify. Lastly, Vitamin PP and Squalane supplement the formula in order to supply lipids required to strengthen the skin barrier. The patented natural D.A.F. (Dermatological Advanced Formula) complex raises the skin’s tolerance threshold.

Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Gel Moussant

I’ve been using the Atoderm Intensive Gel Moussant as a facial cleanser for the past couple of weeks and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a gel cleanser (which threw me a bit at first). Gel cleansers are drying, right?! Well, not all are created equal and this one stands out from the crowd. This foaming wash cleanses thoroughly without stripping or drying. I’ve also been using it as a first and second cleanse in the evenings, and by the end of the second cleanse, all the makeup, sunscreen and dirt and grime of the day is gone. It obviously also works beautifully as a body wash, but I am saving every single drop for my face.

Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Baume

This ultra-soothing skin balm is rich and nourishing whilst still light enough for use during the day. It’s also unfragranced and non-comedogenic which makes it perfect for eczema-prone skin. The Atoderm Intensive Baume is a fantastic product that I can’t dream to be without.

Atoderm Intensive Baume quickly stops itching and reduces the urge to scratch thanks to its anti-itching dermatological active ingredient PEA. Enriched with soothing and purifying agents, it instantly soothes irritation. Atoderm Intensive Baume restores the skin barrier for a lasting effect thanks to its exclusive Lipigenium^™ complex made up of biolipids that are naturally present in the epidermis. Its patented Skin Barrier Therapy^™ limits adhesion and proliferation of staphylococcus aureus on the one hand and penetration of allergens on the other, both being factors in aggravating dryness.

This range is an absolute winner. You need proof… I haven’t used cortisone cream on my face since I started using it.

I give these products two thumbs up, 5 stars, 10/10. Highly recommended!

You can find Bioderma at Clicks and Dis-Chem or you can shop online.

Sensitive skin? Blotchy skin? Red, irritated skin? Sound familiar? Then you’re going to love the new Dermalogica UltraCalming duo. And I mean really love it.

The new Dermalogica UltraCalming duo is AMAZING!

Powerfully Soothing for Sensitive Skin:

Dermalogica’s NEW UltraCalming™ Duo Sensitive skin means something different to everyone. Some interpret it as mild, occasional flareups, while others have redness and discomfort so intense they never want to leave the house. Sensitivity affects every skin type, from dry to oily – and causes vary from genetics to triggers like stress, diet, cosmetic ingredients, allergies and pollution. With so many variables, what causes your sensitive skin can be tough to pinpoint – and even tougher to avoid.

Dermalogica’s NEW UltraCalming™ Duo takes the guesswork out of the equation by treating the irritation and dehydration caused by sensitive skin. Each product combines the best of nature’s botanical extracts with innovation from The International Dermal Institute to powerfully soothe skin sensitivity. Whether you have mild sensitivity or super sensitive skin, the UltraCalming Duo is your ultimate skin
care solution. These products can be layered for maximum results, or used separately to address a specific concern. Best of all, they help to defend against future flare-ups – so your skin looks and feels healthier continuously.

This sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? If you suffer from sensitivity, you know how hard it is to calm and soothe your skin, but if you know Dermalogica well, you also know that they don’t make claims they can’t back up.

Dermalogica Barrier Defense Booster

The new Dermalogica UltraCalming duo is AMAZING!

I expected this oil to be very thick and heavy, but it is the complete opposite. I’ve used it with great success under my foundation on days that my skin was particularly dry and patchy. It absorbs very quickly and leaves skin feeling calm and soothed. It can be used on its own or mixed with the Calm Water Gel. I’ve also mixed it with other thicker skin creams and this oil definitely gives products an extra bit of oomph. I highly recommend it. The Dermalogica UltraCalming Barrier Defense Booster skin oil will work with all skin types and it can be a lifesaver for those with angry, irritated skin. Trust me!

Dermalogica Calm Water Gel

This product was a total surprise. It feels incredible on my skin. It calms, soothes and cools on contact.

It locks in moisture and leaves my skin feeling amazing. This product will be a sensitive skin game-changer, especially during the summer months.

It is often very difficult to pinpoint the exact reason for skin sensitivity. Dermalogica can help …
