How to Keep Your Skin Glowing Through the Colder Months
Winter Radiance: How to Keep Your Skin Glowing Through the Colder Months
Winter can bring with it an array of harsh weather conditions, which can very quickly take a toll on your skin. This is one of the main reasons why this season is an ideal time to focus on skin renewal and rejuvenation, so let's take a look at some of the treatments you may want to consider to combat dull, dry and tired-looking skin.
IPL Treatment
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is a non-laser treatment which utilises pulses of broad-spectrum light to treat a range of skin concerns. When the skin is heated by the light, it encourages your body's natural healing processes, which will work to minimise the appearance of lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
IPL is a gentler alternative to some of the more intense laser treatments, which results in less down time and makes it an ideal option for a variety of different skin types. It can also help to treat thread veins, rosacea, and minimise face flushing, leaving your skin even, glowing and ready for the festive party season.
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance Treatment
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is one of the most popular chemical peel treatments available right now, and the results really do speak for themselves. This superficial peel offers gentle exfoliation to reveal fresh, glowing and rejuvenated skin that will leave you feeling your very best.
Suitable for a variety of skin types, including mature and blemish-prone skin, Obagi Blue Peel Radiance treatment has minimal downtime and can be completed during your lunch hour. It's formulated with lactic, glycolic, and salicylic acids, which work together to smooth, brighten, and decongest the skin, unblock pores, and calm redness.
Refresh Your Targeted At-Home Skincare Routine
Combining carefully selected in-clinic treatments with an at-home skincare routine featuring high quality products formulated to target specific skin concerns is one of the most effective ways to achieve and maintain excellent results.
- Hydration
Incorporating products with active ingredients designed to hydrate and brighten into your winter skincare routine can help you to restore your glow from within. For hydration, look for products which are formulated with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, squalane, ceramides and glycerin. The Obagi Hydrate range is excellent, as it contains hydromanil matrix molecules, which prevent moisture loss from the epidermis.
- Brightening
To support a brighter and smoother complexion, look for products which feature ingredients including lactic and glycolic acids, AHAs, and antioxidants. The Obagi Nu-Derm range of products contains antioxidants and arbutin, which work together to support a more even looking complexion.
Another option is the Obagi Professional-C range, which includes an excellent antioxidant serum. This range is formulated with L-Ascorbic acid to even skin tone, brighten, improve the appearance of lines and boost your skin's natural defences.
- Protection
UV rays from the sun are one of the leading causes of skin damage, which is why applying a high quality, broad-spectrum SPF every day is one of the best ways to prevent premature collagen breakdown and maintain a more youthful, even looking complexion. I advise everyone who visits us here at the clinic that wearing SPF all year round is non-negotiable if you want your excellent results to last.
