Winter Skincare

As we get closer to the end of the year and the days are getting colder, we must remember to take care of our largest organ…the skin! 

Utilizing a skincare regimen is something that we should do year round, but during the winter our skin may need some extra love. When the temperature and humidity drop, moisture is taken out of the skin, which can leave us feeling dry and even cracked. Cooler temperatures can also cause certain skin conditions, like eczema, to flare up. 

The best way to keep your hands feeling soft and smooth is to be mindful of your hand washing and use a rich moisturizer. Make sure to wash your hands with warm water instead of hot, and use a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. If your skin begins to crack, apply moisturizer before bed and wear gloves or socks overnight to lock in the moisture. We love the Hempz lotion and carry it in a variety of scents and sizes! 

For your facial skin care needs, we recommend using a hyaluronic acid as well as a moisturizer at least once per day. We currently have Skincare Starter Kits for dry, oily and combo skin for only $49, a $69 value! Each kit contains a travel size cleanser and toner, a full size moisturizer, and a free spa facial! This kit contains the basic essentials for anyone looking to start a skincare routine. 

Our body polish treatment is a great way to soften and brighten up your skin. This exfoliating and moisturizing treatment will leave you feeling hydrated and rejuvenated by the end of your service. Let one of our Esthetic students give your skin a little “pick me up” this winter season. 

We also have Mistletoe Lip Kits available to purchase for $10! These kits will keep your lips smooth by working to remove and repair dead or damaged skin. The kits include a lip mask, applicator wand, three lip scrubs, and a lip balm.

It is important to take care of your skin in order to prevent excessive dryness, acne, or other skin conditions. Academy of Hair Design has all of the products and treatments to keep you feeling your best all season long!
