Simple Ways to Fight Dry Skin This Winter

Does the brutal cold weather have your skin feeling down in the dumps? We have a solution for you! The most important step for your everyday skincare regimen is to make sure you exfoliate your skin to remove the dead skin cells. This is crucial, especially for dry winter skin. If you are applying and re-applying moisturizer throughout the day without removing the dead skin cells first, your skin will have a hard time absorbing the moisturizer. Think about it this way… If you are moisturizing over clogged pores and dead skin, the moisturizer is ineffective because it cannot penetrate the deeper layers of your skin. Exfoliating before moisturizing removes the dead skin layers and can help clean clogged pores.  This is the best way to prepare for optimal moisture absorption.

A great way to rejuvenate your skin is to schedule a chemical peel or microdermabrasion treatment with your Aesthetician once every 4-6 weeks during the winter months. Make sure to consult with your Aesthetician on the  best ways to exfoliate for your skin type. This will allow the skin to be refreshed, giving you a bright glow during the gloomy winter season.
