The wildest "beach" party of the year is almost upon us... the 2010 Stimorol Springbreak blasts off at Sun City's Valley of Waves on 23 September and this year Clean Start is along for the ride!

Clean Start is all about new beginnings, and spring is the time of year to fling aside the old
and embrace the new head-on. What better way to celebrate this than at a 4-day
non-stop party with sun, surf, banging beats and 40 000 revellers all rocking in unison?

You could win a two-night stay at the Palace of the Lost City when you buy 2 Clean Start
products online at http://www.cleanstart-dermalogica.co.za/springbreak.php between
20 August and 20 September.

Get your spring off to a Clean Start and YOU might be joining us for THE party of the year!

Clean Start purchases can earn you a limited edition branded aluminium water bottle.

About the bottle design:
Clean Start hosted a worldwide contest, inviting fans to design our Clean Start bottle artwork. The winner selected was Filip from Australia and he loves Clean Start.

Meet the artist:
Name: Filip R
Hidden talent: My imagination
Been drawing since: 2001
What inspired the design: Bouquet of flowers I gave my girlfriend. (ed: how fitting for spring?)
What inspires you? Anytime someone tells me something can't be done, or I have some kind of limitation, I immediately start thinking about how to do it.

It's been suggested that spring cleaning originated in ancient Persia. It occurred in yearly anticipation of the Persian New Year, which coincided with the first day of spring. The whole house, from the furniture to the drapes, was thoroughly cleaned of all the previous year's dirt and grime so that the new year could begin afresh.

We might not be in ancient Persia, but that doesn't mean you can't do a little of your own spring cleaning. The good news is it has nothing to do with furniture or drapes! Get into the swing of spring by getting rid of your old skin cell build-up with our Skin Prep Scrub. It contains natural corn cob which will gently polish away those dead surface cells and Vitamin C to stimulate cell renewal.

Follow with an application of Skin Hydrating Masque to revitalise your skin after the dryness of winter. The combination of hops, rosemary, mallow and arnica will also help reduce inflammation around the nose if the spring blooms are making your hayfever flare up.

We are excited to share the fantastic news regarding the 2010 Vogue India Beauty Awards!

Dermalogica has won two product awards:
Best Cleanser: UltraCalming Cleanser
Best Masque: AGE smart MultiVitamin Power Recovery Masque

Congratulations to the team in India for a job well done!
