Whether your skin is oily or dry, winter weather can cause your skin to take a beating. Read these tips for ideas on how to improve your skin this winter.
1. Use a good-quality moisturizer.
Moisturizing is especially important during the dry winter months. Some key ingredients that you will find in a really good moisturizer can be hyaluronic acid, which is already found naturally in your skin; hydroxyproline, a lipoaminoacid whose structure is naturally present in skin; and shea butter, a vegetal butter known for nourishing and protecting skin.
Try: Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturizer, Pro-Derm Stem Youth Night Cream, Pro-Derm Regenerating Cream
2. Exfoliating is important!
A chemical peel or a facial can slough off the dead skin cells that can dull your completion and stimulate the production of new cells to make your skin look more radiant and healthy in the winter. Many peels leave you with no downtime, peeling or side effects. You will just walk out looking and feeling more radiant.
Try: IS Clinical Fire and Ice Facial, or an AFA peel
3. Apply a Hydrating Mask.
A hydrating mask that is PH balanced will help your skin stay hydrated in the cold, harsh winter months. Try a mask that contains an anti-aging serum and contains hyaluronic acid.
Try: Stem Youth Tensor Anti-Fatigue Tissue Mask
4. Don't Forget Your Vitamin C!
4. Don't Forget Your Vitamin C!
Vitamin C is a great product for any time of year but you will especially appreciate the brightening effects of a good Vitamin C serum in the winter months. Apply it once a day before your moisturizer and makeup. This is a great way to prevent wrinkles and stimulate collagen synthesis.
Try: Obagi Professional-C Serum, available in 10%, 15% or 20%
5. Keep Using Sunscreen
Sunscreen is important at any time but it is especially important in the snow when playing winter sports, or if you are taking a winter holiday. Don't forget to apply it periodically throughout the day!
