Winter Skincare Tips

3 years ago By Pure Laser USA Skincare

Winter ushers in major changes for your skin. Hot and steamy showers, cocoa by the fire, and brisk air all wreak havoc on your skin leaving it chapped, dry, and irritated. Treat yourself to a skincare routine tailored to the winter that will leave your skin feeling smooth, supple, and soothed all season long.

Shorten Your Showers
It is so tempting to take a long, hot shower during these chilly months. However, doing so will cause your skin to dry out. The hot water strips your skin of natural, essential oils. This leaves your skin more prone to drying out and chapping.

Hydration, Hydration, Hydration
Keeping your body hydrated also helps to keep your skin hydrated. A good rule of thumb is to take your body weight, divide it in half, and understand how much water you should be drinking - in ounces. 

Facial Care
Put away those lighter lotions from the summer and get out the heavier moisturizing creams. Ensure that you're massaging the product into the skin thoroughly and covering all areas. Face creams should contain an SPF of 15-30 and be formulated for maintaining hydration. At Pure Laser Med Spa in Michigan, we carry several lines of skincare products that help provide needed moisture for dry skin. To learn what skincare products are best for your skin type, schedule a consultation.

Hands and Lips
Frequent hand washing and sanitizer use leaves skin dry and stripped of oils, making hand creams essential during winter. Make sure you keep your lips hydrated with a lip balm and resist the urge to lick them if they become chapped. Saliva will cause the skin to continue to dry out and chap.
