How to battle the winter skin blues

Canvas Salon and Day Spa shares expert advise on caring for your skin during the cold winter months

The dramatic seasonal shift from fall to winter can lead to changes in our skin. The drop in humidity, glacial Nebraskan winds, and frigid temperatures leave many of us feeling chapped, itchy, and dried out.

The estheticians at Canvas Salon and Day Spa, at the intersection of 42nd and Highway 370, know that when it comes to caring for your skin: comfort, simplicity, and approachability come first. While social media has become overwhelmed with skin care advice and how-tos over the last several years, it is difficult to decipher what is fact from fiction.

The team at Canvas Salon is focused on providing their clients with answers through fact-driven treatments and at-home care options that combat the impending skin blues throughout the colder months.

“Flaky skin never made me feel very festive during the holidays,” says Ellen Magnuson, a licensed esthetician at Canvas Salon and Day Spa. “Before I became an esthetician, I used to dread how dry my skin would get in the fall and winter. Now that I know there are solutions, I can show my clients that their desired results are possible and that, with consistency, they can feel dewy and hydrated year-round!”

Here are some great solutions offered at Canvas Salon and Day Spa that will help your skin look and feel great this winter.

1. HydraFacial 

HydraFacial is a patented, medical-grade service that is safe for all skin types and provides a non-invasive and gentle way to achieve bright and even-toned skin. HydraFacial sloughs away dull skin and summertime skin damage by providing advanced cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration all-in-one treatment. HydraFacial treatments can be customized to your skincare concerns with lymphatic therapy, LED Light therapy, and booster serums to enhance our results.

2. Organic Hungarian Facial

The Organic Hungarian Facial is similar to a traditional facial, incorporating relaxing facial, neck, and arm massage. The Organic Hungarian Facial allows the estheticians at Canvas to pick products based on your skin needs, whether that be hydration, discoloration, or prevention of fine lines and wrinkles (or all three)! Rest and escape the gray weather on a warm spa bed…wake up to revitalized, glowing skin.

3. Peels 

Peels help resurface the outermost layer of the skin, providing room for new, healthier skin to form. Botanical and chemical facial peels expose deeper layers of the skin, which makes skin susceptible to UV rays following the treatment. When the sun is less intense, skin has a better protective environment to heal. We recommend a consultation before booking a peel service to ensure your skin will benefit from the service.

4. Body Treatments 

Body treatments exfoliate dead skin from the chest, arms, legs, and back with a gentle and revitalizing body scrub. Soften the skin with a light massage using luxurious body oil. Leave skin moisturized with an application of hydrating body lotion. This treatment is safe and effective for all skin types. Pairing a Body Treatment with a facial is the ultimate way to achieve head-to-toe TLC.
