Why did an Arctic blast have to come to the midwest? The midwest and Chicago area have been heavily impacted by extreme cold this past week. Let’s be sure to not neglect our skin during this time! If you didn’t know, extreme cold temperatures can cause your skin to appear dull, dehydrated, flaky and red. And, if you are not careful, frostbite is just a few minutes away when your skin is directly exposed to extremely cold weather. It’s time to hydrate and protect!
So what can you do to protect your skin and restore it if some damage has already happened? According to our licensed aestheticians, the most important thing is to keep your skin hydrated and protected! One method we love here at New Image Works is the SkinMedica Method! It is backed by science focused on creating products our skin loves. They recommend a customizable 5 step skincare routine, but here we will focus on the main two:
Infusing these steps into your everyday routine will allow you to achieve that glowing glass skin we ALL know and love. The most important factors to implement during these winter months will be the Hydrate and Protect. Using a thick moisturizer, paired with our personal favourite HA5 Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator serum by SkinMedica gives the skin the most amazing 48 hours of hydration you can visibly see and feel. This power packed product is infused with 5 different forms of hyaluronic acid (HA) to support our skin’s natural ability to replenish and support its own HA.
And just because we’re not seeing as much sun during this time of year, does not mean we should be neglecting our sunscreen, AKA our Protect Factor! The UV rays can still penetrate and damage the skin (trust me) even during this time.
Want even more hydration? Pair this ultra hydrator with a DiamondGlow facial! The Diamond Glow facial was curated specifically to pair with clinically proven SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums to target your specific skin concerns. This 3-in1 technology simultaneously exfoliates the top layer of dead skin, uses vacuum suction to extract debris and oil in the pores, and infuses the Pro-Infusion Serums to permeate the skin when they are open and more receptive. For rough and dry skin, SkinMedica and Diamond Glow have created a wonderful cocktail, the HA Hydra Collagen Pro-Infusion Serum to best suit your skin needs this winter! Equipped with these tools you can now get out and enjoy the best the Winter season can offer, cold or not!
