When you're good, you're good...

I knew I was onto something last year when I proclaimed my love for Dermalogica skincare products (I think I cried a little when I finished my Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 30 lotion in May). Turns out I'm not alone because two stars from "New Moon" are also feelin' the love.

As you can imagine, trying to be a vampire is no joke! All of that makeup can do some damage on the skin (hello clogged pores!) Unfortunately real vampires don't perspire, don't grow facial hair, don't get lines & don’t get BLEMISHES! Lucky bastards.

Norma Hill-Patton, Makeup Designer for Twilight: New Moon, tells us that Dermalogica’s Active Moist, which was used on most of the cast, was key since it is universal & suits most types of skin. According to Norma:

"The Pre Cleanse was invaluable for cleansing off the body make up, especially because we had to apply a make up fixative & it was difficult to remove. But we didn't want anything that was harsh or might induce a reaction."

And with all of that squinting R. Patz does homeboy needs to make sure that he wards off fine lines (so Dermalogica's Intensive Eye Cream came in handy). The teensiest amount was patted under the eye for "final checks" (on top of the make up) and diminished the lines for close ups ;)

"And finally," Norma tells us, "the Shaving Regime was used on all of the guys with great success! Again, it was really important to be sympathetic to their skins as they had to have a REALLY CLOSE shave. I'm a great fan of the shaving oil and it can be used for 'wet' shaves or electric shaves! We even had to shave some of them in the middle of the day to maintain the smooth look to their skin!" She also loves the Renewal Lip Complex to keep their lips smooth during the cold days of filming.

Ashley Greene's product of choice

Turns out Norma isn't the only Dermalogica fan, Alice Cullen (that's Ashely Greene for you non Twi-hards) says, "My daily makeup regime includes Dermalogica sunscreen. They also have a really great “special clearing booster” for spot treatment on blemishes. It’s a little more involved on set with hot towel treatments and Dermalogica pre-cleanse to get all that white makeup off. We use a lot Dermalogica products…I love the Microfoliant!”

So there you have it. Even vampires know that you have to take care of the skin before looking good with the make up :)
