How to Get Rid of Dry Winter Skin for a Dewy GlowDedham Medical Aesthetics

Here’s how to step up your winter skin game so you step into springtime with a fresh, dewy complexion.

1. Amp up the moisture during the day—without getting greasy

During the day, after cleansing, toning and applying your favorite serums, add a layer of moisturizer for extra protection and hydration before you slather on sunscreen.

VITAL C hydrating intense moisturizer

• Aqualance™ and hyaluronic acid delivers a rush of hydration.
• Shea butter creates an occlusive barrier to keep moisture in skin.
• Palmitoyl oligopeptide helps support collagen.
• Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, the most stable and fat-soluble form of vitamin C, and grape seed extract are powerful antioxidants that help defend skin from environmental aggressors.

2. Lock in moisture before you go to bed

In the evening, apply a thicker, richer cream to lock in moisture as you snooze. Your skin performs most of its reparative work as you sleep, so this step ensures your skin drinks up all the nutrients and hydration it can.

VITAL C hydrating repair crème

• A 20% blend of vitamins A, C & E deliver triple-threat antioxidant and renewing power.
• Ceramide 3 forms a protective barrier to reduce trans-epidermal water loss (evaporation that triggers dehydration).
• Linoleic acid improves moisture and hydration.

AGELESS total pure hyaluronic filler

For an extra boost of hydration, mix in AGELESS total pure hyaluronic filler, which contains a substance that can hold a thousand times its own weight in water for plumped-up, softened skin.

4. Apply a moisturizer containing broad-spectrum sunscreen

The UV rays penetrate clouds and windows no matter what the weather is, which means your skin is susceptible to the effects of aging any day of the year. For this reason, sunscreen is the most helpful preventative age-defying skincare product. The problem is that many sunscreens tend to dry out skin or make it appear chalky. During the winter, find a sunscreen that not only serves as a moisturizer but also features antioxidants to enhance its effectiveness.

 PREVENTION+ daily hydrating moisturizer SPF 30+

• 18% zinc oxide offers pure physical broad-spectrum sunscreen protection while a DNA Protection Complex protects skin from free radical damage.
• Vitamin C and thiotaine provide antioxidant defense.
• Aqualance Improves skin hydration

5. Envelop your face with a hydrating sheet mask every week

When in doubt or dryness, always rely on a mask! A sheet mask delivers hydration deeply into the skin by allowing the ingredients to penetrate in high concentration.
