This tryst began only six short months ago. For over a decade I had been suffering with bad skin – even on the clearest of days the pores on my nose look the size of moon craters! Spots, uneven skin tone, red blotches, and under-eye bags, YOU NAME IT, I have it! Unless of course you name “perfect and lovely skin” – which I don’t have.
In January of 2011 I went on a dermalogica training course designed for non-beauty therapists (receptionists/managers/etc.) and I fell in love! Not only do I love the products (a few have become products I couldn’t dream of being without! Desert island – yes, I’d bring a kindle with thousands of books, my pre-cleanse, oil free matte block SPF 20 and my D&G sunglasses…oh and my bikini… ok this list is getting silly, but you get the point!); but I also love the dermalogica brand! I love the packaging! And I love their new initiative with FITE! How great is it to buy products I was already going to buy and have money go to support empowering women across the globe?!
That fateful day back in January when my love of dermalogica was born I purchased a few products; one of them being pre-cleanse. If you are new to dermalogica you may be new to the idea of double cleansing. I know! It seems crazy! But I was shampooing my hair twice so why was it so crazy to think I should be cleansing my face twice?! Pre-cleanse has changed my life! No more ruthlessly scrubbing away at my eyes to remove all that mascara, eye liner and shadow! I cannot explain how gratifying it is to use pre-cleanse – a little bit of product and a quick massage over the face, rinse and watch it all wash down the drain!
After returning from that training course, I instantly wanted to throw away my motley crew of skin care garbage I had at home and replace it all with dermalogica products! Hm, expensive… but then I was turned onto JerseyBeautyCompany.co.uk by none other than a qualified therapist! Hallelujah! Dermalogica products at a decent price! (I’d like to point out that at this point in time I worked in a salon as a manager! JBC – still cheaper!)
So in conclusion – while my skin will never be perfect, and I accept that – my skin loves dermalogica.

What a wonderful blog!I
I have demalogica products and love them but your blog has inspired me to pre cleanse amongst many other things and now I want to buy more and more products so my house is filled with them!
Jane S.
I also love pre-cleanse!
Sheila Townsend
Informative, interesting and humorous.
Jim
I mean this in the nicest possible way; if this stuff works for you it must be good!
Stephanie
Great blog! Makes me want to try demalogica.
Kendal
I hate scrubbing my eyes. HATE IT. (I often don’t wear mascara because I hate it so.)
Lynn
Pre-cleanse sounds good, is it ok for contact lens wearers?
Nicola
I’m not really sure about contact lens wearers! I think it would probably be better to remove your lenses before using or keep your eyes closed tight! You put the pre-cleanse on with dry hands and a dry face but then add a little bit of water. When you do this it goes milky and as I use it to remove my eye make up remover it creates like a milky film over your eyes. You would probably be better off with Soothing Eye Make Up Remover!

Sheri
So glad you found a way to great looking, great feeling, HEALTHY skin! Wonderful!
Andrea Rayna
Thanks!
Christine C.
Sounds like a great product.
Laura
I find the concept of pre-cleansing extremely intriguing, especially because it sounds like I could rinse it off in the shower AND because it is easier on the eyes. Off to look at the products…
Nicola
Laura – I often use pre-cleanse in the shower. But you want to start pre-cleanse with dry hands and a dry face. So turn the shower on, and while it is warming up I start massaging my face with the pre-cleanse. Then you can jump in and rinse it off!
Molly
Thanks for the great info on this brand.
Katonda
I would love to try this!
Lisa
I’m always looking for a great skin product – thanks for the info!
Lisa
Pre-cleanse. I am new to this (had it about 2 weeks). It is every bit as amazing as all the reviews say.I cannot sing its praises enough. What a beautiful, effective, and great value product. I will never be without this product again. If you are unsure, get a sample and use it for the first time when you have a full face of make up on and prepare to be amazed.
Great blog – way to go Nicola! I too love Dermalogica and use the products everyday. It’s great to see someone sharing my love!!
