Winter Skin Care Tips

Skin becomes dry when it loses too much water or oil. This is why skin generally becomes drier during the winter months. Restoring lost moisture can make the skin softer, smoother, and less likely to crack. Below are some tips that can help diminish dry winter skin.

SHAVING
It is best to shave after bathing when hairs are soft. To minimize the irritating effects of shaving (face or legs) on dry skin, make sure you use a shaving cream or gel. Allow the product to remain on the skin approximately 3 minutes before starting, and shave in the direction that the hair grows. Changing blades often, most certainly after 5 to 7 shaves, also helps minimize the irritating effects of shaving.

AVOID HOT WATER
Hot water removes your natural skin oils more quickly; warm water is best for bathing.

USE A MILD SOAP
Deodorant bars, strong fragrances in soaps, and products containing alcohol can strip natural oils from the skin causing dryness. Look for a mild, fragrance-free soap or cleanser that moisturizes.

MOISTURIZE IMMEDIATELY AFTER BATHS & SHOWERS
A 5- to 10-minute bath or shower adds moisture to the skin. Spending more time than that in the water often leaves your skin less hydrated than before you started. To retain moisture from a bath or shower, apply an ointment or cream while the skin is still moist, within 3 minutes of bathing.

The Benefits of a Facial

When was the last time you treated yourself to a facial? A facial is a great way to treat your skin, achieving a clear complexion and nice glow.

The face is always subject to the elements such as the sun, smoke, or an improper home regime. eŌs Dermatology & Med Spa offers you the opportunity to work with a professional skin care specialist (aesthetician) who will analyze your skin, help you improve your complexion, and show you how to take proper care of your skin.

A Legendary eŌs Facial can give you a deep cleansing, deeper than the cleansing you will get at home. This treatment includes cleansing, as well as exfoliation which can help to unclog your pores. Your aesthetician will help soften the skin with steam, hot moist towels, and enzymes or other exfoliants. The aesthetician will then extract any comedones (blackheads) that are present, helping to rid the skin of acne.

Facials also help increase circulation and stimulate the skin. It can also slow down premature aging by custom-targeting your skin care. Keeping your skin hydrated will help keep the skin moist and stop dehydration.

Your aesthetician will choose the ingredients to help your skin type, choosing a mask to detoxify your skin or hydrate your skin. By getting a proper analysis you will not only learn your skin type, but your aesthetician will be able to create a facial experience that addresses your skin’s needs.

The most important thing about the Legendary eŌs Facial is that it will relax you. Our office offers a serene environment that encourages stress reduction. Our facials not only help your skin, but can be soothing. When you are comfortable with your skin, that confidence comes through with a natural glow.

Many people have never experienced a facial. So, a gift card to receive a facial makes a great gift to pamper someone you love.

Choose the Right Products for Your Skin

The providers at eŌs Dermatology & Med Spa can help you understand the proper skin care products for your skin. Most people are using the wrong products for their skin type; this causes the skin to become sensitized.

They will work with you to create a home skin care regime that will be both easy to use and work with your individual skin type. Skin type is determined by pore size, tone, and texture. It is also determined by oil production, called sebum.
