Why a professional skin analysis could be the smartest decision for your skin health

In a world full of skincare options, choosing the right products can feel overwhelming. With so many claims and so little guidance, it’s no wonder most people end up with shelves full of products that don’t really work for them.
But what if you could take the guesswork out of your skincare?
That’s where Dermalogica Face Mapping comes in — and it might just be the glow-up your skin needs.
What Is Dermalogica Face Mapping?
Face Mapping is Dermalogica’s signature method of professional skin analysis. It’s a personalised consultation where your skin therapist assesses your face — not as a whole — but in 14 unique zones, each revealing its own story.
From congestion on the forehead to dehydration on the cheeks or redness around the nose, this zonal analysis gives a detailed understanding of your skin’s needs — not just how it looks today, but what’s happening beneath the surface.
Why Should You Get Face Mapped?
✅ 1. Personalised Skincare (Finally!)
Stop wasting money on generic skincare that might not suit your skin. A professional analysis means you’ll receive targeted product and treatment recommendations — whether you’re tackling breakouts, dryness, pigmentation, or sensitivity.
✅ 2. Catch Skin Issues Early
Just like a dental check-up, Face Mapping allows early detection of issues before they become visible problems — like deep congestion, barrier damage, or signs of inflammation.
✅ 3. Get More From Your Products
Using the right products for the right reasons ensures better results — and saves you from trial-and-error purchases that don’t deliver.
✅ 4. Holistic Skin Health
Your skin is more than just surface deep. Many of the zones relate to internal health factors such as diet, stress, or lifestyle. Your therapist can help guide not just your skincare — but your overall wellness habits.
✅ 5. Expert Advice You Can Trust
Dermalogica skin therapists are highly trained and up to date with the latest in skin health. Their insights are tailored, science-backed, and practical — something a TikTok trend or influencer haul can’t give you.
How Does the Process Work?
Your 20-minute consultation includes:
- Consultation Chat: We discuss your concerns, lifestyle, and skincare goals.
- Zonal Analysis: Using magnification and touch, we analyse each of the 14 facial zones.
- Skin Health Prescription: You’ll receive a tailored routine with recommended products and/or treatments.
- Redeemable Product Credit: The €20 consultation fee is fully redeemable on products purchased the same day.
This is not a facial — it’s a deeper understanding of your skin.
Skin Health = Expert Advice + Professional Treatments + Homecare That Works
You wouldn’t diagnose your own medical condition from a social media post, right? So why treat your skin that way?
Skincare is a journey — and it starts with expert guidance.
Just like visiting a GP or dentist, your skin deserves check-ins too. And as the body’s largest organ, it needs the same care and attention you give to your overall health.
Why Dermalogica?
Dermalogica has long championed skin health over beauty hype. Their Face Mapping philosophy focuses on getting to the root of your concerns — not just covering them up.
It’s professional, results-driven, and built around real people with real skin — not filters.
