Winter weather can be hard on your skin. Cold temperatures and dry, heated air can leave it feeling dry and irritated. These simple skincare steps will help you nourish and care for your skin, so it can be bright and beautiful this holiday season and beyond.
1. Use the Right Products
Whether your skin is dry, sensitive, oily, or aging, using the right skincare products is essential to achieving your aesthetic goals.
What products should you use? Dr. West recommends using medical-grade skincare products formulated for your skin type and concerns. Let our experts help you choose high-quality products for your skin.
If you don’t know where to start, try West Labs. Specially formulated for our patients, these products are our in-house line of medical-grade products containing active ingredients that are scientifically proven to enhance and maintain the skin.
2. Protect Your Skin From the Sun
Sunscreen isn’t only for summer. However, since winter is traditionally less sunny than summer, many patients neglect sun protection. Sun damage is a primary cause of aging and occurs year-round. Wear sunscreen every day. If you are spending time outdoors, reapply your sun protection every two hours.
3. Try Our QuickBright Jumpstart Facial
To achieve brighter skin quickly, many of our patients turn to an in-office facial treatment. Our facials are ideal for ongoing skin maintenance or to quickly enhance the skin’s appearance before a holiday party or other big event.
The QuickBright Facial combines deep cleansing, extractions, a light chemical peel, and an oxygen treatment to brighten and plump up the skin.
4. Work With a Dermatologist to Find Skin Solutions
Your skin concerns this holiday season will be unique to your skin. Working with a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Tina West can help your skin stay bright and glowing all year long. A dermatologist can help you find solutions to skin concerns that include:
- Aging
- Acne and acne scars
- Wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Thinning lips
- Redness and rosacea
- Skin cancer
To keep your skin at its best whatever the season, come to the West Institute for trusted skincare advice from our board-certified dermatologist.
