Winter Skincare Checklist

 

 

 

 

 

While the weather outside may be frightful, our skin can stay delightful. With each season change, it’s important to recharge, customize, and target specific skin concerns that apply to the environmental changes going on around us. For example, it’s common to experience more dryness and flakiness with your skin as the temperatures drop. Fall and winter are ideal seasons to erase signs of summer sun damage, shed off dead layers of skin cells, hydrate your skin, and work on getting that holiday glow.

 

Here are our favorite skin care treatments effective at reversing sun damage and keeping the signs of aging at bay. Your skin can look and feel it’s healthiest as the winter months approach:

 

 

Chemical Peels: Reveal a new and fresh complexion

 

What it does: Chemical Peels are a quick way to improve the skin’s appearance by removing superficial layers of skin. They can be used to treat many skin concerns like acne, fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. AESTHETICS 360° offers a professional line of peels– Illuminize, Vitalize, and Rejuvenize, made by SkinMedica®, the leader in medical grade chemical peels.

Why winter is the best time: Chemical peels can be done any time of the year, but are typically saved for the colder months because you need to avoid the sun for the post-care healing process. Because winter weather is colder and drier due to less moisture in the air, skin becomes dehydrated and cracked. Getting a chemical peel can help make your skin care products more effective, since there’ll be no dead skin cells in the way of letting your products reach the deeper layers beneath the skin.

Recommended skin care product: Restorsea Pro Rebalancing Lotion to help with healing after your treatment and AlphaRet® Overnight Cream to keep skin rejuvenated long-term

 

BBL (BroadBand Light): Address common skin concerns with the power of light

What it does: Worried your freckles, age spots or rosacea make you look less radiant and older? With BBL they will be a thing of the past! BBL delivers light energy to gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed in the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate and restore skin to a rejuvenated, smoother, and vibrant appearance. AESTHETICS 360° is proud to offer Forever Young BBL, Forever Clear BBL, and Laser Hair Removal.

Why winter is the best time: Like chemical peels, patients can’t receive laser treatments after recently being in the sun or having tanned skin. Most patients require a series of treatments to achieve desired results. For example, if appointments need to be spaced 4-6 weeks apart, it would take six months or more to complete a laser hair removal cycle…leaving you hair free just in time for the start of summer!

Recommended skin care product: Our private label Brighten & Renew Skin Pads lightly exfoliate, while diminishing pigmented areas due to sun damage and provide overall brightening to the skin. These amazing results were achieved with the Brighten & Renew Skin Pads and just two SaltFacials!

SaltFacial: Restore, replenish, rejuvenate and GLOW!

What it does: The SaltFacial, used on any skin type, is a 3-step treatment that begins with detoxifying salt exfoliation to exfoliate the skin, followed by a soothing and nourishing ultrasonic massage to push in topical customized antioxidants, and finishes with LED light therapy to build collagen and calm inflammation. Most patients even fall asleep during the last step! So, what does it treat? From targeting fine lines and sun damage to improving acne and firming the skin, you’ll be able to immediately see results that leave your skin truly glowing!

Why winter is the best time: The SaltFacial, a patient and staff favorite, is done year-round, but is the perfect winter pick-me-up because it can help with any dull, dehydrated skin and there’s no downtime. If you have a winter vacation planned, this is also the perfect option because there’s no requirement to stay out of the sun before or after the treatment.

Recommended skin care product: No matter what your age is, the Restorsea Pro 10X, our owner Charlotte’s favorite product, is ideal for preventing and reversing the signs of aging. It’s superior at reducing the appearance of brown spots and is safe for sensitive skin types and rosacea.
