Your skin can be severely affected by cold weather and rainfall. Changes in the environment can cause skin irritation, dryness and even inflammation. It’s especially crucial to guard against the effects of rain and cold in areas such as the Pacific Northwest where cold and wet weather prevails.
Prime Med Spa offers customized skincare options along with rejuvenating skin treatments. This is done to both protect and restore client skin.
How Rain and Cold Weather Affect Your Skin
Barren, cold conditions strip the skin of its natural oils, damaging the skin’s protective layer as a result. Common cold-weather skin issues include:
- Dryness and flaking
- Increased sensitivity and redness
- Chapped lips and hands
- Worsening of eczema or rosacea
- Dull, tired-looking skin
The combination of wind and rain causes moisture to evaporate more quickly from the skin, leaving it in a vulnerable state and also prone to irritation.
Essential Tips for Skin Protection From Rain and Cold
- Strengthen Your Skin Barrier
Use products containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramides. A mixture of ingredients assist in stopping moisture loss due to the effects of rain and the cold.
- Don’t Skip Sunscreen
UV rays can pass through cloud, even on dull and wet days. Day-to-day exposure to the sun’s rays causes premature aging of the skin. A sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF will protect against environmental damage all year round.
- Switch to Gentle Cleansers
Severe detergents strip the skin of its protective moisture. During the colder months it is best to select moisturising and sulphate-free cleansers to maintain the skin’s natural balance.
- Layer Skincare Products
To prevent moisture from entering, apply your heaviest product first, followed by the lighter ones, with serums being the lightest.
- Protect Exposed Areas
These are the most exposed parts of the human body. When outdoors, use thick creams, lip balms that have SPF and gloves to protect yourself.
Best Professional Treatments for Cold-Weather Skin
Prime Med Spa’s team of skin care specialists offers various treatments, designed to shield and repair the skin from the damage that results from winter weather conditions.
Hydrating Facials
Benefit from the nourishment of this rich, non-greasy moisturiser which helps to restore the moisture balance of dry, cold weather skin and soothes any irritation caused by wind, cold or rain.
Medical-Grade Chemical Peels
Exfoliating creams use gentle peeling agents to eliminate dull surface layers and encourage healthy new skin growth without drying the skin out.
Microneedling with Hydration Boosters
Using the right skincare products helps to improve the texture of your skin, as well as its ability to act as a barrier against the elements, this in turn enables your skin to more effectively absorb the active ingredients in moisturisers and other skincare products.
LED Light Therapy
Ideally suited for sensitive skin this has anti-inflammatory properties which also promote healing.
