Skin Care Tips for Women and Men
Switching up your skincare routine for the new season whether it’s spring/summer or autumn/winter is all about understanding what your skin needs at different stages, whether that’s due to changes in your life or in the seasons.
Thanks to stress, hormones, or health imbalances we can suffer unpredictable skin changes at any time of the year. For example, those of us with drier skin types may experience flakiness in winter but also during times of stress.
Your skincare professional is the first person to consult for any major skin changes to tweak your routine and treatments whenever you’re in a period of flux. It’s this personal service that will give you the ultimate results.
Winter
When the leaves are off the trees, the wind feels bitter and we turn on the heating, and our skin feels it. Heating reduces the moisture in the air, and our skin can get very dry. For anyone suffering from dry skin, you know that psoriasis, or eczema can often flare up. We’re talking rough feeling skin, scaly areas, tightness or flaking.
The contrast in temperatures between cold outside and warm inside also causes blood vessels to dilate, leading to redness, sensitivity, and breakouts.
You can combat some issues by keeping the heating low. A humidifier can replace moisture in the air, and can help seal the moisture into the skin.
Product Suggestions
Glycerin and Hyaluronic acid are both included AlmumierMD Ultimate Boost Serum and Aqua Infusion Mask. Ultimate Boost Serum combines moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients to reduce the visible signs of aging.
Long hot showers might feel warm and luxurious, but during the winter months they’re not so good for dry skin types. Instead try shorter, warm showers and immediately replenish skin with a moisturiser such as HydraRich. A smooth rich cream packed with emollients and hydrators for the ultimate moisturizer experience and ideal for dry skin.
Spring
Spring welcomes warmer weather; however, the temperatures are still quite unpredictable and can go from warm to cold and that can also have varied effects on our skin. It is very important to maintain a quality routine every morning and evening to keep the skin balanced.
Product Suggestions
Two products we stand behind and recommend to all our clients are
EveryActive C&E + Peptide and
Retinol Resurfacing Serum.
EverActive C&E™ + Peptide All Skin Types. A potent antioxidant serum to reduce the visible signs of aging. A unique delivery system ensures the 15% vitamin C complex is always optimally active. The vitamin C crystals are kept separate in a unique cap and only mixed into the bottle of serum when you are ready to use it.
Retinol Resurfacing Serum 1.0 Aging/ Discoloured/ Sun Damaged/ Blemish-Prone. A microencapsulated 1.0% retinol treatment that improves skin tone and texture and reduces the signs of aging.
Summer
Be extra diligent about cleansing skin in the summer to rid your skin of SPF residue, excess oil and debris from outside. Nina at Laser Skin Pro can recommend the proper cleanser for your skin type.
Whether it is winter, spring or summer it is highly recommended to wear good protective sunscreen. AlumierMD has a collection to choose from but it is always good to consult with a professional like Nina to assure you are using the best one for your skin type.
