Winter Skin
WRITTEN BY DR. LINDSEY PENNINGTON
As the seasons change so should your skincare routine. In the fall and winter months the humidity level outside drops causing the water in your skin to evaporate faster leaving your skin feeling dry and tight. This is why board certified dermatologist, Dr. Skylar Souyoul, recommends adding or changing the moisturizer you are using when the weather starts to cool off. Dr. Souyoul’s go-to winter moisturizer is SkinBetter Science Trio Rebalancing Moisturizer. This moisturizer has ceramides, hyaluronic acid and cholesterol in it to restore your natural skin barrier while giving your skin the moisture it is craving in the cold months. In addition, you may want to stop using certain skincare products such as a toner, especially if it contains alcohol, because it can strip your skin of it’s natural oils and moisture. Another important change to make in your skincare routine would be to avoid facemasks or other skincare products which contain clay. Clay helps to remove impurities from the skin but can also remove essential oils leaving your skin dry. Dr. Lindsey Pennington, double board certified facial plastic surgeon, recommends SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Mask. This mask is perfect for dry winter skin. It contains high levels of hyaluronic acid to provide long lasting hydration and to improve the texture and look of the skin, while the vitamin B5 helps repair your skin’s natural barrier.
One more change you may need to make in the winter is with your retinol. While retinols help regenerate collagen, clean out and tighten pores, and prevent acne they also decrease oil production. Dr. Souyoul recommends decreasing your retinol strength if you are feeling too dry this winter. If your skin is still feeling dry even with a decreased strength then DR. PENNINGTON (left) you may want to switch out your
FACIAL PLASTIC SURGEON AND retinol for a growth factor serum. Dr. DR. SOUYOUL (right) DERMATOLOGIST Pennington’s favorite growth factor is SkinMedica’s TNS Advanced+ Serum. This serum helps skin cell renewal and supports collagen and elastin levels bringing out smoother, more radiant skin. If your skin is still feeling dry and dull then Drs. Pennington and Souyoul recommend you come in for an ultra hydrating DiamondGlow facial to clean out your pores, remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate your skin. This is a personal favorite treatment for both doctors and a true “lunchtime treatment” giving you instant gratification with no downtime. This is a great treatment to do the week of a big holiday party. You immediately walkout with smooth, glowing skin and your makeup will sit flawlessly.
