The winter season can be tough on the skin with low humidity, as well as windy and cold weather taking its toll. Here are a few steps to combat the effects of tired and dry skin and to help get a good start to great skin.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating can be helpful any time of the year but it’s especially important to overcome dry and dull skin during winter months. When you exfoliate, you’re removing dead skin cells that can block the new, fresh cells below from fully benefiting from Timeless Skin Care serum(s). Using a preferred exfoliant each week helps to decongest pores to allow for effective absorption of active skin care products. It is good to note that an effective vitamin C is not an exfoliant as much as a cell turnover ingredient to help reveal a brighter complexion.
Maintain Skin’s Moisture Balance
There are a lot of skin moisture-enhancing products on the market today, yet some of the most effective are skin hydrating serums such as Hyaluronic Acid 100% Pure. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occuring substance in our bodies needed to plump and cushion our tissues for healthy cell function. Another great ingredient is Squalane Oil, as it offers skin protection that treats and seals in hydration for increased moisture benefits.
Replenish and Restore
After exfoliating and maintaining skin’s moisture balance, much attention is needed to replenish and restore for long-term skin care results. Peptide-rich serums with Matrixyl ingredients enhance the regeneration of necessary proteins such as collagen and elastin that help visibly improved texture and tone. Choose concentrations best suited to your specific concerns and that are well tolerated for your skin.
With a new year comes a new start. Learning how to keep balanced skin despite the weather may seem difficult at first, but it’s actually just a matter of skin care 101. We invite you to consult our in-house esthetician to address your specific skin care needs and for tips on effective product usage. Remember to exfoliate consistently, maintain your skin’s moisture, and use appropriate face serum(s) in an effort to not only start the year off right, but to enjoy great skin all year long.
