![]() I love winter for the warm nights cuddled up on the couch, impromptu road trips down South, red wine, and fire. ![]() It is the perfect time for deep depigmentation peels – with a little downtime, these peels can be used to reduce the appearance of melasma and pigmentation on most skin types. Intense pulse light can reduce pigmentation and redness and reduce hair in unwanted areas. ![]() Microdermabrasion and chemical peels can gently exfoliate the skin and allow for a rejuvenated winter glow. Treat your skin to beauty and dermal treatments while the sun isn’t as spicy. Avoid super hot showers – I can’t tell you how much the scalding heat of hell that is my shower literally soothes my soul, but minimize the time in the extreme heat – it might warm your insides, but it is not doing your skin any favours.Ħ. Once a week, give your skin a gentle exfoliation (Medik8’s Pore Refining Scrub ($66) is a nice addition to your skincare repertoire) and use a milder cleanser if your skin is feeling a little on the drier side (Medik8’s Lipid Balance Cleanse ($62) and Cream Cleanse ($51) leave your skin feeling fresh and soothed).ĥ. Don’t panic – Put the exfoliating mitts down!!! You will over-dry your skin even more! Contrary to the wet and wild weather, your skin is dry and needs some love. Using a Hyaluronic Acid Serum like the Medik8 Hydr8 B5 ($90) as your first serum can help with hydration, and a nice rich moisturizer (my fave daytime is the Medik8 Daily Radiance Vitamin C cream ($118) or Medik8 Advanced Night Restore ($138) for the night) will keep all that hydration locked in.Ĥ. Hydration is key – Someone get it a drink stat!! Not only are we replenishing fluid loss from within, but our skin also needs something to keep it hydrated. Daily sun protection is the ultimate defense in anti-aging and preventing nasties like skin cancers.ģ. I’m 100% with you! The UV index in Perth still reaches high levels in the winter. Sun Protection – Yeah, there isn’t much sun. Drink water – We know it’s cold, and there’s not much better than a mug of hot choccy, robe and heater on, but your body and skin need some clear stuff. The main reasons for these changes in our skin are the fluctuations in humidity and temperature, reduced water intake during the cooler weather, changes in clothing and covering habits, and constant exposure to heating sources, further drying out our skin.ġ. The change of season to cooler temperatures can wreak havoc on our skin, causing it to become dull, itchy, flaky, and dry. Winter is definitely here! Our first week of winter was super wet, flooding, cold, wet and icky.
