19 Feb Kiss Dry Skin Goodbye: Winter Skin Essentials
We’re in the midst of our winter season – how do you maintain dry skin when the weather is chilly and brittle? At Youtherapy Medspa, with locations in Manhattan, Scarsdale, or Chappaqua, we understand how important it is to not only keep the skin on your face moisturized, but to hydrate the rest of the body as well. Here’s some quick tips on how to have skin that locks in moisture, all winter long.
Winter’s dry air depletes your skin’s natural moisture. Two immediate things you can change are upping your water intake and opting for a richer moisturizer with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or ceramides. The goal is to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day for internal hydration. Swapping out your moisturizer for a creamier one, like Le Mieux’s 24-Hour Moisturizer, will keep the rest of your skincare intact and locked in for optimal skin hydration.
When you think of exfoliation, you may be reminded of the old St. Ives scrubs we used years back. Not anymore – a gentle exfoliator such as our 10% Gly/Sal Pads are a wonderful weekly treatment to remove dead skin cells, which allows your moisturizer to penetrate deeper while brightening your skin – and preventing any breakouts. Dry brushing is also another fun way to stimulate blood flow and maintain healthy skin, all over the body.
Maintaining your skin is a two party job – booking a monthly, hydrating facial with one of our aestheticians at Youtherapy is a great way to incorporate medical-grade products and treatments that you may not have available at home. Our Glass Skin Facial is a powerhouse treatment for hydration with 10 different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid for the ultimate boost.
Don’t forget about your lips! Protecting your pout is also key here. Dry, chapped lips are a telltale sign of winter. Remember to apply a lip balm with SPF before leaving the house.
