This weekend I ventured over to the Westside of Los Angeles to personally experience my first FaceMapping session at Dermalogica on Montana, one of the most respected leaders in professional skincare. I love their products (the special cleansing gel is a solid staple in my bathroom) so why wouldn’t I love their services and treatments too? If you’re a design enthusiast like I am, you’ll truly appreciate the architecture and layout of this cutting edge flagship spa. The most intriguing aspect was the futuristic décor and ambiance. Three peaceful white “pods” serve as treatment rooms for their cult-followed facials, massages, and their new line of decadent thermal body treatments.
Inside, I received my very first FaceMapping session, Dermalogica’s patented and extremely thorough skin analysis that took about five minutes. FaceMapping is based upon the division of the face into 14 zones and allowing the therapist to examine, observe and make notations pertaining to every inch of my face (even behind the ears, where shampoo, cleansers or other product may accumulate, causing unnecessary irritation!)
I received an education about my skin from a knowledgeable and certified skin care therapist. She examined my face and was eerily accurate about my lifestyle habits and gave me some insightful tips that I took home and immediately implemented. It’s been about a week now and I actually see a difference in my face. I have a clearer complexion, and my skin seems less dry. FaceMapping by Dermalogica is an ingenious concept. I believe I have found my new secret weapon for great looking skin.
