Winter Skincare Tips From a Top-Rated Medical Spa in Toronto
Toronto winters can be harsh on your skin - the cold temperatures, dry indoor heating, and fluctuating humidity can leave your complexion feeling dry, dull, and irritated. At Plumpitupp, a top-rated Medical Spa in Etobicoke, we help clients keep their skin hydrated, healthy, and glowing - even in the chilliest months. Here are a few winter skincare tips, from Medical Aesthetician Tracy who has over 20 years of experience!
1. Prioritize hydration - cold air strips moisture from the skin, leaving it dry and tight. Hydration is essential during winter. Swap your lightweight summer moisturizer for thicker, barrier-protecting formulas. Layer hydrating serums, ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides lock in moisture. Stay hydrated internally, drink tons of water to support healthy skin from the inside out.
2. Gentle exfoliation - exfoliating removes dead skin cells, allowing moisturizers to penetrate more effectively and keeping your complexion bright. Ingredients like lactic acid or glycolic acid are gentle yet effective for renewing skin. While exfoliating is important, remember that overdoing it can worsen dryness.
3. Use a humidifier - winter winds and indoor heating can weaken your skin’s natural barrier. A humidifier adds moisture to indoor air and can prevent skin from drying out.
4. Don’t skip SPF - UV rays are still present in the winter and reflects off of the snow, making sun protection crucial!
5. Plan professional treatments for extra care - winter is the perfect season for many in-clinic aesthetic treatments such as Microneedling, Morpheus8, Chemical Peels and Hydra facials (a.k.a our Deluxe Customized Facial.) Scheduling treatments at a top-rated medical spa, like PlumpItUpp ensures your skin stays healthy and glowing all season long!
