The winter season can be an exciting time to spend with loved ones and focus on rest and self-care. One of the things that can be easily overlooked, however, is caring for your skin. If you’re looking for a way to treat yourself this season, here are three winter-friendly skin treatments to try today.
Top 3 Skin Treatments to Book During the Winter
HydraFacial®
The HydraFacial is a versatile and gentle skin resurfacing treatment that utilizes a patented device to effectively exfoliate, cleanse, extract impurities, and provide superior hydration to the face. During the winter season, cold air has the potential to cause dryness in your skin. Additionally, certain skin types may not react positively to moisturizers during this period. A HydraFacial treatment can deeply hydrate the skin, providing long-lasting moisture for several weeks.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a minimally invasive type of skin treatment that involves using a chemical solution to remove worn-out, dead skin cells on the topmost layer of the skin. As the skin naturally sheds these old layers, it is replaced with a fresher, smoother, and more radiant texture.
Chemical peels, however, can initially increase the sensitivity of your skin to heat and UV rays as they expose underlying layers of the skin. Getting a chemical peel during the winter, when the sun is less intense, provides better protection for your skin as it undergoes the healing process. Moreover, it is common to spend more time indoors during the colder months, which allows your skin ample opportunity to recover following a peel treatment.
Chemical peels are a great skin treatment option during the winter season because they also effectively address the dry and flaky skin that often accompanies the colder weather. You can even strategically schedule a chemical peel appointment to treat any sun damage on your skin that occurred during the summer.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic is an injectable treatment used to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe fine lines and wrinkles. BOTOX Cosmetic functions by inhibiting the nerve receptors of facial muscles, which prevents them from contracting and creating the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Since BOTOX Cosmetic tends to break down more quickly in warmer temperatures, when injections are administered during the winter, they can potentially have a longer-lasting effect for up to 6 months.
