5 Budget-Conscious Ways to Protect Your Skin this Winter
Winter is in full swing, and, unfortunately, your face might be feeling it. The cold, dry weather can make your skin feel dull, dry, red, and even cracked. So at this time of year, you may consider treating your winter skin with some serious TLC.
Winter Skin Treatments to Consider Now
Keep reading to find out our favorite cold-weather skin treatments that will nourish your winter skin without breaking your budget.
HydraFacial
A HydraFacial is a surprisingly affordable professional skin care treatment option that is perfect for hydrating and soothing skin that feels dried out. First, gentle exfoliation, along with deep cleansing, removes dead skin cells and accumulated irritants from your skin. Next, a mild chemical peel furthers the exfoliation process, after which vortex fusion technology uses vacuum technology to remove impurities while hydrating the skin.
Our signature HydraFacial will leave your skin glowing and hydrated. And if that isn’t enough, we offer leveled-up deluxe and platinum HydraFacial options to pamper your skin even more.
PRP Treatments
PRP therapies tap into your own body’s natural fountain of youth: platelet-rich plasma. Popular PRP treatments start with taking a small amount of your own blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to separate PRP from the rest of the blood. The growth factors in platelet-rich plasma promote healing and boost collagen and elastin production within the skin.
Dry winter skin can exacerbate fine lines and wrinkles, making skin look crepey or appear to sag. If this is your concern, choose PRP with microneedling for a glowing complexion and improved skin tone, and minimize the signs of aging over your entire face. Or pair PRP injection with dermal fillers for a PRP facelift to fill in wrinkles, restore lost volume, and improve skin texture in problem areas.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use specially formulated ingredients to exfoliate skin, removing the dull outer layer to make room for healthy, fresher-looking skin to surface. The mild acids used in chemical peels stimulate your body to heal itself through collagen production, smoothing skin’s texture, improving skin tone, and reducing the look of discoloration and fine lines. This makes chemical peels a great option for dry and flakey or tired-looking winter skin.
Skin Resurfacing
Venus Viva skin resurfacing uses precisely controlled heat energy to penetrate the skin and promote healing processes that fight the signs of aging. This treatment takes advantage of the fact that the body will respond to tiny superficial “damage” by repairing and rejuvenating the skin.
If your skin looks dull and tired this winter, consider resurfacing to reverse sun damage, smooth wrinkles, combat hyperpigmentation, and even diminish acne and acne scarring.
Advanced Skincare Products
If your basic, go-to skin care products are just not cutting it in the harsh winter months, treat yourself with a change to that tired skincare routine. We offer comprehensive, medical-grade skin care with customized combinations to target your skin’s unique needs. With two lines of advanced products, ZO Skin Health and SkinCeuiticals, we can help you tailor your treatment to pamper your skin this winter and beyond.
Winter is the Perfect Time to Treat Your Skin
Professional treatments can help combat the harsh effects of winter weather on your skin. But also, many of these treatments are best done in the winter. Some options like chemical peels, skin resurfacing, and microdermabrasion with PRP require you to avoid the sun for a bit after your treatment. It is far easier to follow this advice this time of year!
