Rejuvenate tired, dull skin with chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments
The winter months, with the strong wind, cold rain and lack of sun can affect the state of our skin, making it look dull, aged and lifeless. To prepare our skin for the nicer weather ahead, there are a few basic things we can do to ensure it looks its best, and now is the best time to refresh skin and revive our complexion.
First of all, you need to order your creams and lotions. Take out all your bottles, tubes, and jars and go through them one by one and any creams or lotions that are past their expiration date or that you no longer use or want, then throw them away. If some creams are old or past their prime, then they could actually harbor harmful bacteria, and this can lead to clogged pores and dull skin. Skin care products have a certain shelf life, so if you don’t use them, throw them away.
Ideally, you should also review your daily skin care products. In the warmer months, you tend to use moisturizers and creams that are lighter in texture than those you use in the winter months. Many people tend to buy the same items every year, but what worked for your skin in your twenties won’t necessarily work for you in your thirties or forties. Makeup brushes should also be cleaned regularly as they can harbor unwanted germs and viruses, so ideally wash them weekly with hand soap and dry with a hair dryer.
Exfoliating your skin will remove dead skin cells, and this will help stimulate cell turnover, making your skin smoother, healthier, and ready to absorb your moisturizer and face creams. Spring is not the time for harsh facial scrubs, it’s the time for a gentle exfoliation routine with a soft cleansing cloth.
Once winter is over you can change your skin care routine to suit the warmer months, remembering to keep using lip balm. You can change the thicker winter balm for a lighter one, but the hydration of the lips is essential. If you stop using it, you could end up with dry, chapped lips that will take longer to repair than prevent.
If you feel that your skin looks dull and tired, you can visit a skin care professional and get a deep cleansing facial. A deep exfoliation will help remove dull, tired skin, revealing the fresh new skin underneath. Removing the outer skin cells that are dead and damaged will show new skin, just in time for spring.
Chemical peels and microdermabrasion will remove dead layers of skin, targeting sun damaged skin, blocked pores and fine lines, preparing your skin for creams and lotions to penetrate deeper, as well as giving your skin a revitalizing treatment and leaving her looking rejuvenated
