I received a treatment voucher for the Ionactive Power treatment at Dermalogica with my Glosscars prize. My treatment was at the Crows Nest Dermalogica HQ.

Upon arrival I was greeted by a Dermalogica professional and she instructed for me to fill out a form regarding my skin type, skin concerns and the products I currently use. She then sat next to me and talked me through the concerns and issues I have with my skin and my skin goal, which for me is to slow down aging.

Then I was ushered into a room where I was instructed to change into a tube robe. Once changed, I lay down on a bed and she started cleansing off my makeup. Once my face, neck and decolletage was cleansed, she applied an Ionactive treatment and went over the areas with a high pitch ultrasound gadget. Next she applied a mask then a gelloid massage which was oh-so-relaxing.

The entire treatment took 45 minutes and she applied a hot wet cloth to remove products off my face after each step. This was a very soothing and relaxing experience and I felt the stress of the day ebb with each step. Once the treatment was over she applied primer with spf and gave me time to get dressed and put my makeup back on.

The entire experience was a treat not just for my skin but also for my mind. My skin was soft and supple to the touch while my stress dissipated somewhere in that glorious 45 minute treatment. They were immaculate in setting up the room with soothing music, and filling the air with relaxing essential oils to set the mood. The Dermalogica professional was knowledgeable and attentive, barely saying a word throughout the 45 minute treatment so as to let me relax and enjoy the glorious treatment.
