Winter tends to conjure up ideas of nights spent in front of a crackling fire sipping a cup of cocoa. Unfortunately, the colder temperatures, dry air, and windy conditions of an L.A. winter can also wreak havoc on the skin. The following advice can help you avoid dry, itchy, cracked winter skin.

What Causes Dry Skin?

Our outer layer of skin, called the stratum corneum, is comprised primarily of dead skin cells that cover and protect the living cells of the deeper skin layers. The stratum corneum is constantly losing moisture due to evaporation. Extreme temperatures, dry air, harsh soaps, and hot water can strip oils and additional moisture from the outer layer of skin. This causes the surface area of the stratum corneum to shrink in relation to the other layers of skin. As it tightens, the stratum corneum cracks and takes on a scaly, flaky appearance.

Winter Facials in Studio City:

Regular European-style facials are one of the best ways to prevent dry skin during the winter months. A classic facial starts with a deep cleaning to remove the dirt that builds up in the pores on a daily basis. This is typically followed by a gentle exfoliation to remove dry, dead cells from the surface of the skin. Steam masks and moisturizers are then used to restore the skin’s hydration and essential oils depleted by winter weather. Anti-aging facials using enzyme treatments can help reduce the signs of fine lines and wrinkles that become even more apparent with dry skin. While you may notice some improvement after your first facial, the best results are usually obtained after several treatments.

Other Steps to Protect Your Skin:

You can also protect your skin by drinking plenty of water, avoiding overly hot showers and baths, and moisturizing thoroughly while your skin is still slightly damp. You should be sure to wear gloves and other protective clothing to shield your skin from the elements. Also, don’t forget the sunscreen. This is especially important if you plan on hitting the slopes for a ski vacation. The wind and sun reflecting off the snow can cause significant burns, especially on the face.

It is important to remember that facials aren’t just for women. Men frequently experience more dry skin than women since many men neglect to moisturize their skin. Most salons and spas offer facial treatments and products designed specifically for their male clients.
