The Ultimate Skincare Routine for Cold Weather
Winter is here, and it’s the perfect time to give your skin extra love and care. With colder temperatures and lower humidity, it’s essential to hydrate, exfoliate away dead skin cells, and stimulate circulation to keep your complexion glowing and healthy all season long!
At KLS Aesthetics in Renton, WA, our expert Esthetician team guides you through the ultimate winter facial treatments to help combat dryness, promote hydration, and reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. In this blog, we’ll explore three key winter facial treatments: chemical peels, back facials, hydrating treatments, and options specific to your needs, all designed to keep your skin radiant during the colder months.
1. Revitalize and Renew Your Skin
Chemical peels are an excellent treatment to combat the dull, lackluster skin that often accompanies the winter months. Over time, your skin can accumulate dead cells, leaving your complexion tired and uneven. A chemical peel uses a specialized solution to exfoliate the skin, removing these dead cells and revealing a fresh, glowing layer beneath.
What to Expect: Depending on the strength of the peel (light, medium, or deep), you may experience some redness or peeling post-treatment, but this is temporary. Winter is the ideal season for chemical peels, as your skin is less likely to be exposed to the sun, which can be a concern after treatment.
Our Favorite Peel?
Replenix MD Perfect 10 medical-grade peels are formulated to deliver the desired results for the motivated patient who wants to peel. The hallmark of The Perfect 10 Peels is that they provide visibly apparent skin peeling. Within days your skin will be smoother and softer with a more even tone. The Perfect 10 Peels contain a synergistic blend of ingredients that visibly reduce the signs of aging. Each system component has been formulated with soothing antioxidants to support these effective peeling agents. The first acid step in the peel contains a rich blend of well-known and effective alpha & beta hydroxy acids & amino acids to maximize exfoliation and gentle peeling. The second active step features an All-trans-Retinol Complex to enhance and augment the effects of these uniquely powerful peel treatments.
2. Don’t Forget Your Back!
While winter skincare focuses on the face, the skin on your back can also suffer from dryness, clogged pores, and even body acne. A back facial is a fantastic treatment for the skin on your back, helping to clear clogged pores, exfoliate dead skin, and deeply hydrate the area.
What to Expect: Pamper your skin at KLS Aesthetics with our Rejuvenating Blueberry Microderm Back Facial featuring a revitalizing clay, stem cell, and peptide mask. Infused with a delicious blend of antioxidant-rich blueberry and vanilla, this treatment works wonders to even out your complexion, leaving your skin smooth, youthful, and glowing.
The experience begins with dry brushing to stimulate lymphatic flow and enhance circulation, followed by microdermabrasion to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells gently. This process unclogs pores and helps address concerns like sun damage, acne scarring, rough texture, and dullness.
Relax and unwind with a soothing back massage to calm your mind and rejuvenate your skin. The blueberry-infused bentonite clay draws out impurities without compromising your skin’s moisture barrier, reducing redness and alleviating irritation, heat, or itchiness. The result? A beautifully nourished, radiant glow.
Extractions are available if needed for added care, and a relaxing scalp massage completes the ultimate pampering experience. Treat yourself to this luxurious back facial today! Your skin will thank you!
3. Restore Your Skin’s Moisture Balance
Winter air can strip the skin of its natural moisture, leaving it dry, flaky, and dull. Deep hydration treatments are essential during this time of year to maintain a healthy moisture balance and keep your skin looking its best.
What to Expect: Our Deep Hydration Facial uses advanced ultrasonic technology to boost blood circulation, enhance product absorption, and strengthen your skin’s natural barrier. Experience long-lasting hydration with products that lock in moisture for up to 48 hours. Perfect for those seeking both deep hydration and relaxation, this treatment includes a soothing facial and a calming hand and arm massage.
4. What Is The Proper Treatment For Me?
At KLS Aesthetics, our Customized Facial with Skin Analysis is the best place to start for first-time facial clients. Our highly trained Estheticians will perform an in-depth skin analysis, and an individualized treatment plan will be made based on your concerns, budget, and time frame. You will receive treatment on the same day. Depending on what treatment you and your esthetician receive, plan on about an hour and 15 minutes for your appointment!
What is the cost? Our facials and chemical peels range from $135 to $350. Consultations are free when you receive treatment on the same day!
Winter Skincare Tips: How to Care for Your Skin at Home
While professional treatments are an excellent way to give your skin the extra care it needs during the winter, don’t forget your at-home skincare routine! Here are some tips for maintaining healthy skin between facials:
- Use a Humidifier: Winter air is often dry, so using a humidifier at home can help prevent your skin from becoming overly dry.
- Switch to a Richer Moisturizer: As the weather gets colder, consider switching to a thicker, more emollient moisturizer to lock in hydration.
- Avoid Hot Showers: Hot water can strip the skin of natural oils, so try to take lukewarm showers instead.
- Sunscreen is Still Necessary: Even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin. Don’t skip your sunscreen, especially if you’re getting chemical peels.
Conclusion: Embrace Winter with Radiant, Healthy Skin
Winter doesn’t have to mean dry, dull, and irritated skin. With the right treatments, like chemical peels, back facials, and hydrating facials, you can combat seasonal challenges and maintain a glowing complexion all season long.
