Oily skin in the summer and dry skin in the winter. Our skin concerns are constantly changing throughout the year depending on the season. Battling dry skin during these winter months can be extremely taxing on regular skincare regimens, especially if you live in colder regions. Haute Beauty teamed up with Dr. Christie Prendergast, MedSpa expert, to discuss the best treatments and products to combat dry skin this season.
What are some common skin concerns during this time of year?
What treatments would you recommend to combat these skin concerns?
It is also a good time of the year to re-evaluate your skin care regimen and adjust to your treatment goals. For example, I like to ramp-up more aggressive skin care treatments in the winter months were we spend more time indoors. Pretreatment regimens are a big part of a good result. Adding these products and removing overly drying products will help maintain the hydration and balance the skin needs to heal from more aggressive treatments and the winter dryness.
How long do results last?
Having good skin care in all climates is a lifelong commitment! This requires a treatment strategy with a professional. I like to perform periodic evaluations of my patients skin and advance or de-escalate treatments as needed for optimal results. It is also important to collaboration with aestheticians who will be able to provide the more frequent skin care evaluations.
