How to protect your skin in the dry, cold months Winter can be tough on the skin but there’s much you can do to defend against the assaults of the season. The skins primary role - to protect the body- is ever more important in extreme weather and in most locations, that means extreme cold outside and dry, over-heated air inside during the winter. Facing the Freeze The biggest wintertime concern is dehydration. In colder climates, you definitely need to increase the protection quotient. ‘You must over-treat skin to keep it hydrated’. People often forget about sunscreen in the winter, an SPF should also be worn in the winter months. Double your efforts to protect the parts of your face particularly prone to display the effects of dryness, the lips and eye area need a continual shield against the elements. Ask your skin care professional which products are appropriate for your skin type. When it’s cold, you lose blood flow to the skin. The result is a dry, dull tone. Facial treatments can increase circulation and rejuvenate a healthy glow. As we're entering winter, you can now start doing facial peels. We don't recommend doing peelings during summer because the sun increases the possibility of pigmentation in the skin. Although we do the peels in winter, you have to use a sunscreen daily to protect the skin. At Arriba Spa we offer two types of facial peels: Nimue 7.5% TCA Treatment Intensive treatment indicated for environmentally damaged, hyperpigmented and especially problematic skin classifications. This is an advanced rejuvenation treatment, a mild medical strength peel. The Bioactive complex in combination with 7.5% TCA is applied for deeper exfoliation resulting in deeper product penetration resulting in a radiant, smoother texture and lightening pigmentation. It includes a thorough cleansing, steam, both bioactive complex and 7.5% TCA exfoliation, followed by a mask. For optimum results, it is recommended in weekly or two weekly courses of 6-12 treatments. Nimue 35% Glycolic Treatment Indicated for environmentally damaged, hyper pigmented and problematic skin classifications. An active skin rejuvenation treatment that provides a controlled and predictable removal of skin cells, to improve texture, collagen production and appearance of the skin. For optimum results, it is recommended in weekly or two weekly courses of 6-12 treatments. Kind Regards, Arriba Spa Team
