Re-FRESH Your Skin for Spring!

With the cold season ending (finally) most of us are recognizing the need for a little TLC for our skin. Winter is the worst time of the year for the skin. Although summer has its' share of skin hazards, winter really presents a lot of skin related perils. The extreme temperature differences between the cold winds and icy air outdoors and the warmer temperatures indoors from furnaces and car heaters results in a drop of humidity. This accentuates water loss from the skin as it quickly evaporates from the skin's surface.

Constant assult on the skin causes a depletion of essential oils on the skin meaning the skin's acid mantel (ie protective barrier) is stripped. This lack of protection will leave the skin irritated, red, dehydrated, extremely
dry even chapped!

To return balance to the skin, the acid mantel must be restored. This can be done with a post-winter Re-moisturizing Treatment. This would consist of an exfoliation followed by an application of a cocktail of skin softening, hydrating ingredients.

Keeping the skin hydrated is an important step in any skin care regime. Skin must maintain water balance with the environment to function ideally. The epidermis acts as a partial water barrier helping to regulate the amount of water in the skin. This barrier itself needs adequate water (more than 10%) to function properly.

This means the importance of conditioning and protecting the skin with efficient products to prevent dehydration should be high on your list!
