One day I was walking by this salon inside The Promenade mall in Thornhill and saw that they were having a sale on Dermalogica products (20% off retail price).

WHAT?! They NEVER go on sale!!!

The trial sized bottle that I received in a LuxeBox box had just run out, so the timing could not have been more perfect.

Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant is basically a powder containing Rice-based enzymes. It has no colour and is not scented. To use, simply dispense half a teaspoon into already wet hands. Rub your hands together to create a creamy paste then gently rub on already damp skin for one minute maximum.

As the name suggests, the Daily Microfoliant is for daily use; I use it almost everyday and love how gentle it is on my skin, yet strong enough to slough away the dead skin cells that make it appear dull. At $75CAD per bottle, it is on the expensive side, but it will last you quite a long time. Would I buy again? Heck, YES!

Why Exfoliate?

• To remove the dead skin cells that sit on the outermost layer of the skin. Ever notice your skin looking a little on the dull side? This is because of the dead skin cells that have accumulated on your epidermis.
• Exfoliating helps your skin absorb skin products a lot better. Think of dead skin cells as obstacles to your skincare products. The less there are, the faster and more efficiently your skin will absorb your skincare products’ ingredients.
• To promote cell renewal. Exfoliating triggers your skin to start the skin renewal process — something that becomes more and more important as we age.
• Soften the look of wrinkles and fine lines. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines completely, but you can totally soften their appearance by exfoliating your skin regularly.
