Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Skin Restoration and Laser Institute

It looks the like crisp, cool weather is settling in for the holidays.  For many of us this means significant changes in the suppleness of our skin.   The winter elements can quickly create a dry, dehydrated look to your skin.   Dehydrated skin not only looks dull, tired and flaky but is very difficult to hide under cosmetics.

Here a few easy tips from Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Center to ensure your skin exudes a fabulous, dewy glow for all of your upcoming holiday events.

1.      Depending on how the winter elements affect your skin, you may need to consider switching from GLO Mineral pressed power base (foundation) to GLO Mineral Satin II Finish Liquid base (foundation).   The Satin II Finish will provide more protection and hydration during the harsh climate changes.  You may find your complexion is getting lighter now that days are getting shorter. This will call for a slightly lighter shade of foundation during the winter months.

2.     Schedule an appointment with your skincare specialist at Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Skin Restoration and Laser Institute.  It is important that your skincare regimen is adjusted to combat the oncoming dry season.  It is likely that you will need to add an additional hydrating complex under your moisturizer or change to a moisturizer that is better suited for the cooler months to maintain a higher level of hydration.

3.     Increase your water intake.  Coffee, tea, soda etc. are not equal to water.

4.     Highlight your cheeks with the GLO Mineral Luster brick for added radiance.

5.     Since cool air is naturally dried than warm air, it is a good idea to keep your thermostat set at 68 degrees or less.  Keeping your home at higher temperatures removes even more moisture out of the air.

6.     Use a broad-spectrun, UVA/UVB sunscreen every day.  It is the single most important thing you can do to keep your skin to maintain youthful looking skin.

Here’s to maintaining healthy, “GLO”ing skin that will be the envy of all your holiday parties this season.

Cheers!
