Caring for your skin during winter requires a bit of additional time and effort due to the harsh conditions that can affect our delicate protective barrier. The skin becomes exposed to elements such as cold air, biting winds, and the sun’s reflection off snow. In colder climates, low humidity is prevalent, constantly robbing the skin of its moisture. Additionally, indoor environments often subject the skin to dry heat. It’s not surprising that our skin frequently ends up dry, flaky, and itchy during this season. Once dryness sets in, the skin becomes more susceptible to cracking and bleeding.

To prevent uncomfortable and unsightly results, and to maintain healthy and happy skin throughout the winter months, consider the following tips.

LANA Winter Special Hydra boost facial.

A Hydrating Facial is a specialized facial treatment meticulously crafted to replenish, rejuvenate, and nourish the skin. This treatment often incorporates products rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and natural ingredients, working synergistically to plump, maintain, and shield the skin.

These facials serve as a potent remedy against the daily impacts of stress, aging, and environmental damage. Regular use of hydrating facial treatments can even reverse cumulative sun damage, making them suitable for almost every skin type and contributing to a more youthful and healthier complexion.

One of the primary advantages of hydrating facials lies in their ability to restore lost moisture to the skin. Daily activities such as cleansing, exfoliating, and exposure to harsh elements like cold weather or air conditioning contribute to moisture loss. Hydrating facials, tailored to individual needs, play a pivotal role in replenishing vital moisture and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles caused by dryness.

Beyond replenishing moisture, these specialized treatments breathe life into dull complexions. Enzymes sourced from natural origins aid in exfoliating dead skin cells, revealing newer cells with more vibrant pigmentation.

Furthermore, hydration plays a crucial role in maintaining the ideal pH balance in the epidermal layers, providing optimal protection against environmental pollutants such as smoke or dust particles. Individuals receiving regular hydrating facials are less prone to common skin issues like blemishes or acne flare-ups resulting from clogged pores due to bacterial impurities, often associated with excess sebum production during dehydration. Aloe vera gel products can also offer soothing relief to inflamed areas following aggressive extractions during treatments.

Preserving existing moisture is equally important. The natural oils produced by the skin act as a protective barrier. It is advisable to limit prolonged baths and showers and avoid excessive washing of the body. When bathing, opt for warm rather than hot water. Afterward, gently pat dry and moisturize your damp skin to maintain its health and vitality.

How does Hydro dermabrasion work?

The ingredients in Hydro Dermabrasion medical-grade serum surpass the potency of those found in regular facials or over-the-counter moisturizers. This specialized serum is formulated to enhance collagen production, the essential protein for skin health.

Collagen is vital for providing elasticity and firmness to the skin. As individuals age, the natural collagen levels in the skin decline, leading to sagging and reduced elasticity. Hydro Dermabrasion is highly effective in addressing these age-related concerns by not only stimulating collagen production but also by improving overall skin texture. Additionally, it works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while providing deep hydration to the skin.

One of the key benefits of Hydro Dermabrasion is its ability to enhance the skin’s overall texture, resulting in a smoother and more refined complexion. The treatment is particularly effective in diminishing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to a more youthful appearance. Moreover, the deep hydration provided by the serum promotes overall skin health.

Consistent use of Hydro Dermabrasion as part of a regular facial regimen proves beneficial for managing congested and enlarged pores. Over time, this routine leads to cleaner and smaller pores, contributing to a clearer complexion. By incorporating Hydro Dermabrasion into your skincare routine, you can expect notable improvements in the overall health and appearance of your skin.

WHO’S THIS FOR?

Hydro Dermabrasion is an excellent choice for individuals with tender or highly sensitive skin. It proves to be super effective for a variety of skin concerns, making it suitable for those with darker skin tones, aging skin, congestion, blemishes, and dry skin. Even individuals with oily skin can benefit, as hydro-dermabrasion helps reduce greasiness and shrink pores.

This treatment is suitable for both men and women, with the only requirement being a freshly shaved face. It is particularly beneficial for those with mild acne scars, as it can reduce their appearance, and it has the capability to diminish fine lines. Immediate results are noticeable after the procedure.

Hydro Dermabrasion is the perfect choice for individuals seeking a gentle yet thorough facial just before a significant event, such as a wedding. If you have dark spots, age spots, or hyper-pigmentation, this treatment can contribute to their gradual elimination over time.

Thanks to its gentle properties, Hydro Dermabrasion is particularly suitable for winter skincare routines. The treatment addresses various skin concerns while ensuring a gentle experience, making it ideal for use during the winter season.

Homecare tips

Combatting the drying effects of indoor heat during winter requires a multifaceted approach to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Follow these tips for optimal skin care:

Use a Humidifier: Counteract indoor dryness by running a humidifier, either a portable or tabletop model, or one integrated with your heating system. This helps maintain moisture in the air, preventing your skin from drying out.

Increase Water Intake: Boost your skin’s hydration from the inside out by increasing your water intake. Staying well-hydrated supports overall skin health and helps combat the effects of winter dryness.

Sunscreen is Essential: Even in cold weather, protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays, especially when there’s snow reflecting sunlight. Apply sunscreen to exposed skin to prevent damage and premature aging.

Opt for Oil-Based Moisturizers: Switch to an oil-based moisturizer during winter, as these provide a more effective barrier against dryness. Consider overnight deep moisturizer treatments for extra care, focusing on areas prone to dryness like hands, feet, elbows, knees, and lips. To enhance absorption, cover treated areas with cotton gloves and socks overnight.

Choose a Hydrating Cleanser: Switch your regular body wash for a more moisturizing and hydrating cleanser, especially if your usual product contains drying ingredients like glycolic or salicylic acid. After cleansing, tone and moisturize within 30 seconds to lock in hydration and prevent further dehydration.

By incorporating these tips into your winter skincare routine, you can help alleviate dryness, maintain skin hydration, and promote a healthier complexion even in colder weather.
