The holiday season is fast approaching again. With it comes the change in weather and temperature. The drop in temperature is the start of the prevalence of dry skin.
It is not uncommon to experience chapped lips, tight face, flaky skin and rough skin during winter. The cold wind usually strips essential lipids away from the face. Additionally people usually cut back on water consumption because they sweat less and do not feel as thirsty. Because of that, the deeper layers of the skin turn dry and damaged.
So here are a few tips to keep your skin envy-worthy while sipping your drink of choice!
Facials
Facials are a relaxing treatment that involves cleansing, exfoliating, minor extractions and topped off with a face massage can reduce sins of aging and sun damage. I exclusively use PCA products. PCA products set the industry standard for the finest professional esthetician products. A PCA facial promotes your skin's healing process to produce new, healthy-looking skin. If you want to reduce blemishing, diminish the appearance of wrinkles, and have clearer skin, you might consider a monthly facial to get your skin ready for the holidays!
Microdermabrasion
Regular microdermabrasion treatments are an excellent way to keep your skin looking its youthful best this holiday season. Microdermabrasion removes the outer layer of the skin or dermis, with little trauma and high effectiveness. The dermis holds all of the pore-clogging oil and dirt. During the procedure, natural, mineral crystals are brushed onto the skin exfoliating it by removing the dead skin cell tissue and the oil and dirt that goes with it. Microdermabrasion improves the tone of skin and helps these conditions of aging gradually fade away. Combining microdermabrasion with a facial will have you absolutely glowing!
Chemical Peels
Don't let the name scare you away! A chemical peel requires only minimal to moderate downtime and brings many hydrating benefits especially performed during cooler months. A chemical peel penetrates and exposes deeper layers of your dermis to give you a new, fresh, and hydrated complexion. However, you should use caution with getting a chemical peel during summer months when you are more exposed to the suns harmful UV rays. Long spouts of time in the sun are not great for healing that fresh skin!
Chemical Peel Benefits Include:
Combating fine lines and wrinkles caused by genetics, aging, and sun damage.
Improving the appearance and texture of a dull complexion.
Reducing age spots, pigmentation, or melasma, a common side effect of birth control pills.
Relieving acne, rosacea, and eczema flare ups which are common in cold weather months.
Treating superficial scarring.
Get Lots Of Rest
The holiday season is the best time to sleep! Make up for lost sleep by taking a nap and having a relaxing slumber, you deserve it! This will not only have you feeling refreshed on the inside but also improves the texture of your skin, hair, and nails.
What’s A Girl To Use?
As you age, your skin loses volumе, resulting in hollow areas of the face, facial folds, and wrinkles. Using PCA’s ExLinea® Peptide Smoothing Serum you will see a dramatic reduction of crow’s feet, laugh lines, forehead wrinkles and frown lines from repeated muscle movements with this targeted neuropeptide spot treatment. Smoother, more youthful looking skin you'll feel confident showing will be in your future. In addition to that with the colder months and dryer skin, I highly recommend PCA’s Dry Skin Relief Bar. This amazing bar is gentle enough to use daily, soothing and improving dry skin concerns, including psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, all over the body, even on the scalp. It also helps control and fight the recurrence of itching, redness, flaking, and irritation with 3% salicylic acid. And of course, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS remember your sunscreen! What do I use and recommend? You guessed it, PCA's Active Broad Spectrum SPF 45.
With the above holiday skin care tips, you can acheive the beautifully glowing skin that will have everyone at your holiday party jealous, however, it takes time and maintenance! You might think that you want to have all of these treatments done close to the date of the event, but you should schedule it two to three weeks prior to give your skin the proper time to heal and reap the benefits of your new skin maintenance schedule. Don't forget, you absolutely must use your products! Using your products daily will allow you to maintain that glow.
