While the weather outside might be brisk, your skin doesn’t have to suffer. Rejuvenation Salon & Spa in Juneau, AK, understands how delicate your skin is during the harsh conditions of winter, and that there are measures you can take to avoid its drying effects. Here are a few spa-approved skincare tips to help you achieve radiant skin all winter.

5 Ways to Maintain Your Skin All Winter

1. Use an Oil-Based Moisturizer

This provides your skin with additional oils on top of the ones it produces naturally, giving your skin an extra layer of protection against dryness. An overnight moisturizer will also be beneficial, but be picky on which oils you apply to your face. Opt for avocado, almond, primrose, or mineral oils to avoid clogging pores.

2. Invest in a Humidifier

The hot air of central heating systems drys your skin throughout the day, effectively making your skin prone to cracking and dryness. Installing humidifiers within your home will put more moisture into the air, countering the effects of your central heating.  

3. Use Sunscreen

It doesn’t need to be sunny and 70 for your skin to be susceptible to its damaging rays. Whether its bikini or park weather, you should be protecting your face — and any other exposed skin — all year with a broad spectrum sunscreen. 

4. Cover Any Exposed Skin

The sun isn’t the only reason to keep your skin unexposed. Harsh winds, cold temperatures, and rain will also damage your skin, so keep it covered — especially your hands. Our hands retain less moisture because of few oil glands and thin skin, so it’s essential to protect them.

5. Avoid Chemical Peels

With your skin already in such a vulnerable state, it’s best to avoid treatments like chemical peels that can strip away crucial, natural oils from your skin. Instead, utilize hydrating masks for facial treatments.

Proper care and having a spa as a haven for your skin is vital for winter skincare survival.
