Traveling soon? How temperature changes affect the skin.
Returning to cold from heat
Fluctuations in temperature can change the skin. For example, when vacationing in a humid climate, your skin will plump up and look juicy, hydrated, and happy. Returning to the cold Canadian winter is not always a good thing, especially for oily skin types.
If you are an oilier skin type you may find you return with a few more breakouts. This is especially true if you continue to use your winter care in the humid climate.
Fluctuations in temperature can change the skin colour. Normal combination skin types going from humid to arid air will experience a shock. This shock will cause the skin to build the dead layer faster leading to a dry, dull complexion.
You may find that your tan goes from a hydrated look to a dull, greyish tinge. This is because the cold air is drying the top layers of the skin. Some people may start to see flaking as well.
If you do find yourself in need of professional care, we recommend getting a peel.
Skin Peels
If you have never had a peel before, you can introduce them as a ‘Boost’ to your facial or dermaplane treatment. Peel boosts are classified as mild skin acids. On the other hand, ‘deep peels’ are classified as medium to strong skin acids ranging from 20% to 85%. They are ideal for pre-treated skin and provide deeper resurfacing of the skin. While boosts are mild and require minimal downtime, deep peels require up to 10 days as they may cause visible shedding and flaking.
Retaining your Tan
Moisturizing will hep to retain the tan and keep a healthier glowing tone. NOTE: skin peels will lift the tan. If you are looking to preserve your tan you may want to consider a different treatment.
