Winter Skin Tips

Though good skin care is a year-round job, few seasons offer as many solid excuses for facial treatments as winter.  Whether it’s overindulgence in holiday festivity fare, or the skin-taxing trifecta of travel, climate change, and stress, your skin-the body’s largest organ-has much to contend with.  Factor in consecutive months of decreased sun exposure, and the stage is set for a regimen of more aggressive skin-changing treatments.

Facials and peels are powerful tools in battling many skin woes; but they are especially effective against the season’s most common complaint: dryness.  Though it may seem counterintuitive, the sloughing of surface dead cells is an essential step in quenching thirsty skin.  If cells on the surface of the skin are dead, then even the most effective (and often most expensive) moisturizers cannot penetrate the skin to deliver much needed hydration-wasting good product and, therefore, good money.  So you see, winter facials and peels not only make good skin sense, but they also make good fiscal sense too.  Isn’t it nice when indulgence is also practical?
