Winter Skin Care

Achieving a youthful glow can be tricky in the best of times, and it’s even more difficult in the cold, dry months of winter. The combination of cold temperatures, dry indoor heating, and harsh winds can result in a dull, lackluster complexion. Updating your skincare products can give your skin the more intense care that it needs during the colder months.

Calvine Medical Aesthetics proudly carries Obagi products that can help you maintain that gorgeous summer glow all year round by injecting instant hydration and life into your thirsty skin. Hello glow!

How to Get Healthy Winter Skin

Skin is more sensitive during the winter, making it prone to dryness and redness. Harsh cleansers can strip your skin of much needed moisture. A mild cleanser such as Obagi’s Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser washes away dirt, makeup, and environmental pollutants while simultaneously refining and smoothing skin.

Using an alcohol-free toner is not just about removing bacteria - it should also provide moisture and restore skin’s PH balance. Obagi’s Nu-Derm Toner achieves both of these goals while also helping your skin better absorb other products for a healthier, more youthful complexion.

Retinol is a Vitamin A and an anti-aging powerhouse that fights against fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and acne. Adding retinol to your winter skincare routine will help exfoliate your skin on a cellular level, increasing cell turnover and collagen production to reveal smoother skin and unclog pores. Explore Obagi’s retinol products at Calvine Medical Aesthetics to find the perfect fit for your skin.

Exfoliation is a must during the winter months to get rid of dryness and dullness. Obagi’s Nu-Derm Exfoderm removes damaged skin cells and improves skin cell turnover, resulting in a brighter complexion.

Finding a hydrating and long-lasting moisturizer is an important step towards a dewy, youthful winter glow. Obagi Hydrate has a 2-in-1 Hydromanil Technology that locks in moisture with hydrating ingredients like avocado oil and glycerin. The result is supple and soft skin that lasts up to 8 hours.

Finally, if sunscreen is the last thing on your mind during winter, you’re putting your skin at risk. Even with clouds and rain, damaging UVA and UVB rays are still present, causing fine lines, premature aging, sun spots, wrinkles, and in some cases, even cancer. Applying SPF such as Obagi’s Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 year-round will help you maintain that youthful glow while protecting your skin at the same time. Prevention really is better than a cure!

There are various skin problems that arise when the temperatures drop off, but don’t let that discourage you! A proper skincare routine with quality products can help brighten, heal, and allow your skin to flourish during the colder months.
