Updating your wardrobe to protect yourself from the cold is obvious, but don't forget about protecting your skin. Take some simple steps to combat the effects of cold air, harsh winds and dryness this season.
The best way to keep your complexion bright and healthy is by moisturizing. Look for medical grade, fragrance-free products with SPF protection to help avoid any further irritation. Using a cream-based moisturizer, rather than a lighter oil or lotion typically meant for the summer, will add an extra layer of protection. Make sure you're taking the time to moisturize before bed because the timing of application is key.
“In a cold and dry climate like Canada, medical-grade moisturizing products provide the best results when used before bed, proactively prepping your skin for the next day,” says Dr. Stephen Mulholland, renowned cosmetic surgeon. “It takes a few hours for the active ingredients in your moisturizer to penetrate the skin. Applying moisturizer 20 minutes before you head out the door won't sufficiently protect your skin.”
To get even better results from your moisturizer, try using an innovative at-home tightening skincare device, like the Silk'n Titan. The Titan works to lift skin by repairing collagen and elastin fibres from the inside, using the same advanced light technology offered by leading dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons. All of this from the comfort of your home, and at a fraction of the cost.
