Winter Skin Tips 2 of 2

Note: Valentine's Day packages go on sale 2/1.

This is the first part of a two-part article related to winter skin. Part 1 addresses massage and spa treatments. Part 2 addresses at-home tips.

Recipe for winter skin:
  1. Begin with cold, dry winter air.
  2. Add steamy baths and showers.
  3. Repeat for several weeks.
Congratulations! You've got scaly winter skin.
  1. Seek a specialist: Even one visit can make a big difference! An esthetician or dermatologist can recommend products within your budget.
  2. Moisturize more: Oil-based or "night" creams form a protective layer, giving your skin more protection against the elements. Stay away from rich shea oil on the face, which can clog pores.

Winter Skin Tips 1 of 2

"Excuse my legs."
"Sorry about my feet."
"I'm so embarrassed. My skin is awful!"

Nearly every client this month has given me an apology for their winter skin! When they ask, "How can I avoid this?" I recommend two treatments:
  1. Massage -applying rich, professional cream really helps. Between massages? Hit up the drugstore for Eucerin cream. It's affordable and it works!
  2. Spa body polish - it's the second most popular treatment I offer (massage is first). It exfoliates and hydrates skin in one shot!
Which comes first? To achieve maximum hydration benefit, massage is performed before the body polish.
