Karon Kelly Fernando, Skin Expert Series: Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream Feb 12, 2024

The oxygen we breathe is vital to our survival – and to our skin health. As we age, our skin takes in and utilizes oxygen less effectively. Without sufficient oxygen, it lacks the energy to maintain its natural vitality. This can show up as fine lines, wrinkles, and an overall appearance that is dull, tired, and depleted. In this informative episode we talk with Karon Kelly Fernando, Education Development Specialist, Dermalogica Toronto, to learn how reawakening the skin is as simple as taking advantage of the oxygen that is all around us. Karon dives into the details of Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream, a daily liquid moisturizer that firms, lifts, and revitalizes with premium hydrating and oxygen-optimizing phytoactives. Utilizing natural actives derived from plants that thrive in low-oxygen environments, this advanced moisturizer helps skin better absorb and utilize oxygen – to leave skin looking smooth and strong. It's time to breathe new life into your skin!

We all have days when our skin is sensitive – whether or not we are born with it. But treating sensitive skin isn’t always straightforward: it can be caused by genetics or brought on by lifestyle and environmental factors. Regardless of the cause, one thing is certain: sensitive skin’s barrier is often damaged, and it needs a chance to recover.

Join Melissa Cella, Global Curriculum Design Manager with Dermalogica, as she shares all the details about Stabilizing Repair Cream and its ultra-soothing actives that calm on contact – helping to break the pattern of sensitive skin and help skin become more resilient over time.

The balmy-cream formula melts into the skin to quickly alleviate redness, help prevent future irritation, and quickly reduce redness and discomfort. A proprietary Ceramide-Building Complex provides nourishing lipids, strengthening the skin’s barrier to lock in moisture and help keep signs of sensitivity at bay.

We are living in a very fast paced life with more to do, less time to do it and a lot of added pressures. As a result, more adults (especially women), are living with more chronic stress.

In this episode we chat with Dr. Angela Murphy about our most recent innovations AGE Bright Clearing Serum and AGE Bright Spot Fader in the new Active Clearing line. Active Clearing formulas harness the best of nature and science to control breakouts and reduce the appearance of related skin aging. This updated skin segment is amazing! AND since adult skin has such a high potential for skin-aging post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) spots, having products that address both breakouts and aging simultaneously truly helps streamline treatments and boosts results.

Jane Wurwand, Founder Series: Passion Meets Purpose Dec 11, 2017

This is part two of our story when classic entrepreneurship and a passion for skin care changed an industry forever. In Los Angeles, 1983, Jane and Raymond Wurwand saw a gap in skin therapy education and founded Dermalogica and The International Dermal Institute; which are game-changing brands within the professional skin care industry.

In this episode, Jane shares her advice to new entrepreneurs, the importance of developing a skill set, and “if you can see the greatest pain in an industry, you’ve just spotted the greatest opportunity.” Jane also takes us on the journey of how she established FITE (Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship), a social impact initiative that helps women and girls on the path to entrepreneurship by providing access to education, vocational training, small loans and leadership skills.

In 2016, President Obama appointed Jane a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship, one of a prestigious group of America’s top entrepreneurs who work with the Federal Government to help develop the next generation of entrepreneurs both at home and abroad.

Jane Wurwand, Founder Series: The Dermalogica Story Dec 04, 2017

This is the story of where entrepreneurship and a passion for skin care come together and an industry is changed forever. It started in Los Angeles, 1983, where Jane Wurwand, a tenured, United Kingdom-trained skin therapist new to the American "esthetician" industry, recognized that continuing skin therapy education was practically non-existent in the United States. After opening a small classroom in Marina del Rey, California under the name The International Dermal Institute (IDI), Jane invited licensed skin therapists to the postgraduate training to help make them competitive in the business.

In 1986, Dermalogica was born, as it didn’t take long for Jane to realize no product line embraced her belief of skin health as opposed to "beauty," so she developed her own. The vision was clear – a product line free of common irritants and artificial ingredients and most importantly one that would improve skin health. With more than 100,000 skin therapists trained and available in over 80 countries, Dermalogica products are the number one choice of skin care professionals and consumers worldwide.
