Winter Is Coming: Preparing Your Skin for the Cold Season

As the leaves change and the temperatures drop, your skin care routine needs a transition to combat the harsh effects of winter weather. In Lexington and Bowling Green, the cold can be particularly challenging, making it essential to adopt a skin care strategy that nurtures and protects. From specialized treatments like the Ultra skin resurfacing to the hydrating wonders of SkinMedica® products, we’ve got your winter skin care covered.

Protect and Pamper: Ultra Skin Resurfacing for Winter

Winter air is dry and harsh, robbing your skin of moisture and leaving it feeling irritated and flaky. One of the most effective ways to prepare your skin for this seasonal shift is with Ultra skin resurfacing. This advanced treatment, available at our Lexington and Bowling Green locations, uses laser technology to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin, revealing the smoother, healthier skin beneath. Not only does this process encourage new cell growth, but it also enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture during the colder months.

Benefits of Ultra Skin Resurfacing:

• Improved Texture: Say goodbye to dry, rough patches that are all too common in winter.
• Enhanced Moisture Retention: Prep your skin to hold on to hydration more effectively.
• Reduction in Visible Aging Signs: Winter can accentuate lines and wrinkles; resurfacing helps smooth them out.

Winter Skincare Tips

In addition to treatments and products, consider these tips to keep your skin healthy and vibrant during the winter months:

• Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is just as important in winter as it is in the summer.
• Humidify Your Home: Using a humidifier can add much-needed moisture to the air, helping prevent your skin from drying out.
• Cover Up: Protect your skin from cold winds and temperatures by wearing gloves, scarves, and hats.
• Sunscreen Is Still a Must: The winter sun can be just as damaging as the summer sun, especially when reflected off snow. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to exposed skin every day.
