Winter is a beautiful season, but it can wreak havoc on your skin. As temperatures drop and indoor heating rises, your skin faces a double threat: cold, dry air outside and moisture-depleting heat indoors. These conditions often lead to dryness, flaking, irritation, and a lackluster complexion. Fortunately, with the right care and treatments, you can protect your skin and keep it glowing all season long.
Here’s how to adjust your skincare routine and why professional treatments can give your skin the boost it needs during the harsh winter months.
1. Hydration is Key
Cold air has less humidity, which means it naturally pulls moisture from your skin. To combat this:
Switch to a richer moisturizer. Look for products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or glycerin to lock in hydration.
Hydrate from the inside out. Drink plenty of water and consider adding a humidifier to your home to keep the air moist.
Professional Tip: Winter facials, such as hydrating treatments or microdermabrasion, can replenish lost moisture and restore your skin’s natural glow.
2. Don’t Skip SPF
It’s a common myth that sunscreen isn’t necessary during winter. Snow reflects UV rays, increasing your exposure even on cloudy days.
Use a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful rays and prevent premature aging.
Recommended Spa Service: Combine your skincare routine with a protective facial treatment to shield your skin from environmental stressors.
3. Gentle Exfoliation
Flaky skin can prevent your products from absorbing effectively. However, over-exfoliating in winter can worsen irritation.
Use a gentle exfoliant once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells without stripping your skin of essential oils.
Consider chemical exfoliants like lactic acid for a less abrasive option.
Spa Enhancement: Try a PCA peel or dermaplaning session for professional-grade exfoliation and a silky-smooth finish.
4. Protect Your Lips and Hands
Your lips and hands are often the first areas to show signs of winter damage.
For lips: Use a hydrating lip balm with SPF and reapply frequently.
For hands: Apply a thick hand cream, especially after washing your hands.
Did You Know? Spa treatments like paraffin wax for hands can provide deep hydration and soothe dry, cracked skin.
5. Target Specific Winter Concerns
If you’re noticing redness, sensitivity, or uneven texture, your skin may need targeted care.
Sensitive Skin: Focus on calming ingredients like chamomile or aloe vera.
Dry Patches: Use a nourishing overnight mask to replenish moisture levels.
Expert Help: A professional consultation at BonnE Medspa & Laser can identify your skin’s unique needs and recommend customized treatments.
