What You Need to Know About Winter Skin Care

Just as your skin was beginning to recover from too many days out in the summer sun, winter begins to rear its ugly head. Cold weather can be just as tough on skin, with biting, cold winds and drying indoor heat. The perfect skin care regimen that will help protect your skin from both the indoor and outdoor elements throughout the winter. Here are the tips to keep your skin healthy and looking great this winter.

Gentle Cleansing

• We all know that you must cleanse and exfoliate regularly to keep your skin blemish-free, but some cleansers can be drying. Having a skin care regimen that is perfectly formulated for your skin type and gently cleanses will allow your skin to maintain a healthy moisture balance. At Massage Heights, we carry professionally formulated skin care cleansing products that cleanse without stripping your skin, leaving it glowing, moisturized and healthy.

Nourish Your Skin

• It is not just the products you use on your skin that matters during the winter months; nourishing your skin from the inside out is just as important. Plenty of micronutrients and vitamins are essential in the renewal and development of a healthy skin tone. A diet full of fresh fruits, vegetables and healthy proteins gives your skin the nutrients and antioxidants it needs to repair itself from damage and free radicals. In addition, proper hydration flushes toxins from the body and allows your skin to stay supple, soft and flexible.

Moisturize and Protect

• The hot summer sun can damage your skin as well as winter’s plummeting temperatures. Sure, you may not see the sun for the next few months but UVA rays – the aging ray that continues to penetrate through the clouds – are around all day, every day. Because of this, sunscreen and the proper moisturizer are equally important in winter months as in the summer. Work with a Massage Heights Skin Therapist to find the right prescription for your skin type so you remain ultra-moisturized and protected in cold weather.

Specialized Treatments

• Beyond your everyday skin care routine, give your skin the extra boost it needs to stay healthy during the winter with Specialized Treatments.
