Changing Colder Weather & Your Skin Care Routine

As the cooler months approach, it's important to reassess your skin care routine. Cooler weather brings with it lower humidity levels and harsher winds, which can leave your skin dry, cracked, and even irritated. Here at Bonsai Medical Aesthetics, we want to help you keep your skin healthy and glowing all year long.

Here are some tips to consider when reassessing your skin care routine for the colder months:

Choose a richer moisturizer.

During the cooler months, our skin requires more hydration due to the lack of moisture in the air. Gradually transition to a rich, hydrating moisturizer to help prevent dryness and flaky skin. Bonsai Medical Aesthetics offers a variety of high-quality, medical-grade moisturizers suitable for all skin types that can help hydrate, protect and nourish your skin throughout the cooler months.

Reconsider your exfoliating routine.

Exfoliating is important for removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin and reducing clogged pores. However, in colder months, it's important to be gentle when exfoliating to prevent further skin irritation and dryness. Consider using gentler physical exfoliants or incorporating chemical exfoliants in your routine. This will help eliminate dead skin cells, allowing better absorption of moisturizing products.

Keep your skin protected.

Although sunlight may be weaker during the colder months, it's still important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, particularly when planning outdoor activities. Our medical-grade, chemical-free sunscreens will provide excellent protection while delivering hydration to your skin.

Stay hydrated.

Staying hydrated is essential for healthy skin all year round, but it's particularly important during the colder months. Drinking plenty of water can help keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

Don’t forget your lips.

The lips are particularly sensitive to harsh weather conditions and require extra care. Use a nourishing lip balm with ingredients such as shea butter or vitamin E to keep your lips moisturized, protected and healthy.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your skin looking its best throughout the cooler months. Bonsai Medical Aesthetics offers a range of medical-grade skincare products and services to help you maintain healthy, glowing skin all year round. Contact us today to learn more!
