5 Things You Can Do for Your Skin During the Winter
1. Hydrate regularly
A hydrating facial is one of the best ways to combat dry winter skin. These facials are designed to replenish moisture and nourish the skin, leaving it soft and supple. Look for facials that incorporate ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which is known for its ability to hold moisture in the skin, as well as soothing ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile.
Skinworks Wellness provides hydrating facials and hydra facials that can provide immediate relief for dry, dehydrated skin and help prevent future moisture loss.
2. Indulge in soul-soothing baths.
Transform your bath time into a soul-soothing ritual. Opt for bath oils or moisturizing bath bombs that cleanse and hydrate your skin. You can try out some of our cleansers, like the Epionce Gentle Foaming Cleanser and Skinworks Hydrating Rose Cleanser, to add much-needed moisture to your skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and revitalized.
3. Make Time for Gentle Exfoliation
Winter skin accumulates dry, flaky patches that can dull your complexion. Choose a mild exfoliator like the Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser that sloughs away dead skin cells without stripping your skin of essential oils. This brightens your complexion and allows your moisturizers to penetrate more effectively.
4. Cuddle Up with Cozy Fabrics
5. Shield your skin from the elements.
Winter winds can be unforgiving, causing your skin to lose moisture rapidly. Consider using a good-quality sunscreen, even on cloudy days, to guard against harmful UV rays. Remember to cover exposed skin with scarves, hats, and gloves to create a barrier against the biting cold.
The Best Winter Skincare Treatments
Chemical Peels
Combat dull and lackluster winter skin with gentle yet powerful chemical peels. These treatments exfoliate the skin, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. They can also stimulate collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, leaving your skin rejuvenated and glowing.
Laser skin rejuvenation
Take advantage of reduced sun exposure during winter to undergo laser skin rejuvenation treatments. These treatments can address fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells and giving your skin a youthful, radiant glow.
Moisturizing Treatments
Maintain a consistent at-home skincare routine during the winter with rich, emollient moisturizers that provide long-lasting hydration. Ingredients like shea butter, ceramides, and squalane are especially beneficial for nourishing and repairing the skin’s moisture barrier. Consider incorporating a weekly hydrating mask into your routine to give your skin an extra boost of moisture.
Crafting the Perfect Winter Skincare Routine
- Start by cleansing your skin with a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without stripping away essential moisture.
- Follow up with a hydrating toner to rebalance your skin's pH levels and prepare it for the next steps in your routine.
- Next, apply a serum containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to provide intense hydration and protect your skin from environmental stressors.
- Seal in the moisture with a rich, nourishing moisturizer, and don't forget to apply sunscreen, even on cloudy winter days, to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
