With the arrival of winter comes harsh weather and constant dry heat that can wreck havoc on your complexion. Without proper maintenance throughout the season, your skin can end up dry, flaky and dull. To help you prepare, we’ve compiled a list of skin care solutions and regimens you can start now to avoid the perils of winter skin.
Switch Up Your Skin Care Routine
When the heat kicks on in the wintertime, it circulates dust and promotes dehydration of your skin. To offset the effects of these environmental changes, we recommend ramping up your antioxidant protection. You can do this primarily by applying vitamin C and/or hyaluronic acid to your skin to add an extra moisture boost to your daily or nightly skin care routine. Both of these products are available at our office.
Also consider upgrading your skin exfoliating routine by trying our Salt Glow Massage during the winter months. The treatment, which is available at the Skin Wellness Center, involves a half salt massage and half body hydration to exfoliate your skin from head to toe using vitamin and mineral-enriched salts, leaving your skin soft and silky. By using topical antioxidant products and upgrading your exfoliating routine, you can keep a comfortable amount of moisture locked in your skin all winter long.
Take Care of Your Health
To promote your skin’s natural healing beauty, support its health inside and out. First and foremost, continue to wear a high SPF sunscreen throughout winter. While it may not feel like you could get a sunburn, the sun’s UV rays are just as powerful as they are in the summer. In fact, the sun’s UV intensity can be amplified when reflected off of ice and snow-covered surfaces. Second, stay hydrated by drinking water- it’s an important step to keep you feeling and looking your best. Additionally, set up small humidifiers around your home to disperse moisture evenly and combat dry air coming through the heating vents. By keeping your sunscreen routine, staying hydrated and investing in humidifiers, you can help your skin reflect wellness.
Beautify Your Skin with the Help of a Professional
You can also enhance your skin this winter through procedures available at the Skin Wellness Center. Winter is the optimum time to get a wide range of non-surgical treatments because the results for some procedures are maximized with less direct sun exposure. Our Laser Hair Reduction gradually minimizes hair follicles, smoothing out the surface of your skin and eliminating the need to shave and the resulting razor irritation. We also offer Derma Needling, which tones and tightens skin and evens out pigmentation by reducing the look of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks or rosacea. Another great option is our VI Peel®, a deep facial peel that penetrates the dermal layer to give you dramatic results with minimal down time. This peel caters to anti-aging. At our office, we aim to transform your hopes into reality with excellence.
