The seasons really affect your skincare routine. Sun exposure, wind exposure, and environmental moisture all change with the seasons, so one-size-fits-all skincare solutions may not be right for you.
This winter, skincare specialist Lani Keene LE wants you to treat your skin well. She provides facials at Apex Dermatology of Westlake Village, California, working with the Apex Dermatology team of skincare experts, including Dr. Karin Harp, MD, FAAD, FASDS, Dr. Aria Vazirnia, Dr. Zoë Indigo Smith, Sherri Anderson PA-C, Mary Hanna BC-NP, Alex Woodruff PA-C, and Riley McCarthy RN.
We recommend regular facial treatments for our patients throughout the winter months. Here are five reasons why routine facials are your friend in winter.
Sun damage affects the parts of your skin most frequently exposed the most. Spots and blemishes caused by the sun’s radiation typically appear on your face, hands, neck, and decolletage. With multiple spaced-apart facial treatments, you can erase last summer’s sun damage, giving you a clean slate for the next year.
While you don’t need to worry as much about sun damage during winter, moisturization becomes a more significant cause for concern. Dry, cold air can leave your skin cracking, peeling, reddened, or chapped.
If you struggle with lost moisture during winter, starting with regularly scheduled routine facials keeps your skin supple and healthy. Skincare tools like steaming and therapeutic masks moisturize your skin more deeply than the lotions you apply at home.
For some unlucky individuals, winter means more acne and backne. While having more of your body covered more of the time protects you from sun damage, it can also cause flare-ups and blemishes. At Apex Dermatology, our specialized anti-acne facials also work to deep-cleanse and clear up backne.
The winter months can be a stressful time of the year. You don’t have the relaxation of long summer evenings, and your personal and professional calendars may become busy and crowded.
Self-care helps you cope with stress. Pampering your skin with a facial treatment lets you take time out of your busy day just for you. Your deluxe facial treatment at Apex Dermatology even includes a relaxing massage of your face, neck, and decolletage, so you leave your appointment feeling as great as you look.
Each winter adds a year to your age, but the seasons don’t have to add up to new lines and wrinkles on your face, hands, or neck. Routine facials provide ongoing, personalized support for your skin, minimizing premature crepey skin texture and the appearance of age spots.
Anti-aging care can start as early as your teens. The Apex Dermatology team offers special facial sessions for teens that include skincare education and personalized tips and tricks for great skin every year of your life.
