Dermalogica x FITE Gift with Purchase promotion in March

To celebrate the month of International Women’s Day on March 8th, Dermalogica have collaborated with Raven + Lily, a socially conscious lifestyle brand, to produce a limited edition handmade bag filled with four top-selling Dermalogica travel-sized products.

The bags can be purchased for $2 as part of a gift with purchase promotion from authorised New Zealand Dermalogica stockists during March 2015, with all proceeds going to Dermalogica’s philanthropic initiative – FITE (Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship).

Founded in 2011 and headed up by Dermalogica founder Jane Wuwand, FITE continues to empower women and encourage entrepreneurship. Last year was a milestone for the initiative as it reached the goal of providing 50,000 women in developing countries microloans. The idea being that FITE connects women with capital, grows them through education, and amplifies her voice so she can make an impact. More information can be found at joinfite.org.

The Raven + Lily bag is handcrafted from 100% organic cotton and made in India by women freed from the sex trade. It includes four travel-size Dermalogica products; Special Cleansing Gel; Daily Microfoliant®; Skin Smoothing Cream and Antioxidant Hydramist, and is valued at $80. To make a difference, join FITE today at joinfite.org or by purchasing the Raven + Lily bag from an authorised Dermalogica Skin Centre, during the month of March 2015.

What’s in the bag:

AGE Smart Antioxidant Hydramist (10ml). A refreshing peptide toner that creates a hydrating, antioxidant shield over skin to help reduce fine dryness lines and prevent the signs of ageing. Mist over skin after cleansing and throughout the day to help firm, rehydrate, and minimise skin-ageing triggers. This little spray mist bottle is perfect in my makeup bag for work. Refreshes my skin and helps with anti-aging throughout the day. Fragrance free and absorbs quickly by the skin.

Special Cleansing Gel (30ml). Soap-free, foaming gel cleanses all skin conditions. Refreshing lather thoroughly removes impurities without disturbing the skin’s natural moisture balance. This soap-free cleanser is gentle yet effective and it is great for sensitive skin.

Skin Smoothing Cream (10ml). Medium-weight moisturiser to balance combination/dry skin. Deep-moisturising Lecithin and Aloe Gel nourish while extracts of Mallow, Cucumber and Arnica soothe and hydrate the skin, helping to restore suppleness and tone. Antioxidant Grape Seed Extract plus Vitamins C and E help shield skin from environmental assaults. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colours.  This moisturiser is great for when my skin is a combination of oily and dry (especially during winter and autumn months). This moisturiser has got just the perfect consistency and texture. It is not too light that my skin feels tight afterwards and it is not too thick that my skin cannot absorb it all.

Daily Microfoliant (13g). Gentle enough to use on a daily basis. Not recommended for users of medically-prescribed exfoliation products. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colours.Gentle, daily use exfoliating powder for all skin conditions. Unique Rice-based powder formula activates upon contact with water, releasing Papain, Salicylic Acid and Rice Enzymes that micro-exfoliate dead cells, instantly leaving skin smoother and brighter. I am already a big fan of this super gentle exfoliant. It comes in a powder form, you just mix it with a bit of water and it will transform into a slightly fluid paste. I massage this on my face (no harsh granules at all), and rinse it off. It leaves my skin smooth and clean without the harsh scrubbing! I can use this everyday and I use the Thermafoliant every 3-4 days.

Overall: This little redeemable bag is such a great offer! It’s for a good cause and for $2 extra from your purchase, you get to try so much products! The daily microfoliant is definitely worth the $2! These smaller size products are great for travelling as well.
