As winter sets in, the cold, dry air can take a toll on your skin, leaving it feeling dull and dehydrated. To maintain a healthy, glowing complexion during the colder months, it’s important to focus on hydration, gentle exfoliation, and protection. Annie White, owner of The Refinery, can help you get the right skincare routine and treatments, in order to combat the effects of winter weather and keep your skin looking its best. From soothing moisturizers to powerful serums, here are some essential tips and treatments to boost your winter skincare routine and restore your skin’s natural radiance.
- Hydrate Inside and Out
Cold weather can be very drying, so it’s essential to keep skin hydrated. I recommend ZO Skin Health Hydrating Crème—it’s packed with soothing ingredients to combat dryness and inflammation. -
Gentle Exfoliation
Winter can lead to a buildup of dead skin cells, which dulls the complexion. Use a gentle exfoliant like the ZO Exfoliating Polish 2-3 times a week to keep skin smooth and glowing. -
Protect Your Skin Barrier
A compromised skin barrier is common in winter. ZO Skin Health Growth Factor Serum is perfect for strengthening the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and improving overall resilience. -
Don’t Skip Sunscreen
Even in winter, UV rays can damage the skin, especially with sunlight reflecting off snow. The ZO Daily Sheer SPF 50 is lightweight, hydrating, and provides strong protection without feeling greasy. -
Humidify Your Space
Indoor heating can really dry out the skin, so a humidifier can make a big difference. This pairs well with using a richer moisturizer in the evening to lock in hydration.
Treatments to Boost Winter Skin Health:
-
Lumecca IPL Photofacial
Ideal for treating pigmentation and sun damage that may have accumulated over the summer. It brightens and evens out the skin tone, perfect for a refreshed look in winter. -
Microneedling with PRP
A great treatment to boost collagen and improve texture. It’s especially helpful in winter to address dullness and dryness by stimulating skin renewal. -
Chemical Peels
Our ZO 3-Step Peel is fantastic for exfoliating and rejuvenating the skin, giving clients a fresh, bright glow that’s often harder to achieve in the colder months.
