08 Jan Skin hangover after the holidays? Time for a regeneration program.
The cold temperatures, the dry heating air, the sumptuous food and the odd glass or two over the Christmas period – January doesn’t exactly make it easy for our skin. While some people suffer from dry skin, others struggle with blemishes, especially after the festive season. Either way, our skin is stressed and we long for regeneration and new freshness.
The right care for dry skin:
When the skin feels dry and flaky, many people mistakenly reach for a grainy scrub. According to the motto “scrub until everything is smooth and soft”. However, the better choice is a gentle cleanser formulated with AHA (alpha hydroxy acid). It gently removes dead cells, sebum and dirt, while lipids and antioxidants stimulate the protective function of the skin barrier and help the skin to retain its natural moisture content.
Another key to proper hydration is to supplement your skincare routine with moisturizing serums that penetrate the deeper layers of the skin rather than sitting on the surface. Our tip: Ossential® C-Bright Serum from ZO®. The serum can be ideally combined with the Renewal Cream. This contains encapsulated retinol, antioxidants and valuable anti-aging active ingredients. The product soothes the skin, rejuvenates and repairs the moisture barrier. The cream also offers effective antioxidant protection.
HydraFacial for blemished skin
Christmas time is the time for delicious (and sumptuous) food. A glass of champagne or wine is the perfect accompaniment. Calories play a minor role during the festive season – and that’s okay. Unfortunately, our skin sees things a little differently. This is because free radicals caused by too much alcohol, sugar or UV light cause unwanted damage to the skin. The result is blemishes and an uneven skin texture.
A HydraFacialTM treatment with an immediate effect is just what you need. And this is how it works:
Step 1: Skin removal
The first step is to remove dead skin cells to reveal healthy skin.
Step 2: Acid peeling
A gentle glycolic-salicylic acid peel helps to soften deposits in the pores and prepares for deep cleansing.
Step 3: Deep cleansing
Impurities and dissolved sebum deposits are drawn out of the pores with a kind of “mini vacuum cleaner”.
Step 3: Vitamin and moisture booster
Depending on the skin’s needs, various antioxidants, vitamins and hyaluronic acid are then infused into the skin. The antioxidants repair the damage caused to the skin by free radicals. They also provide additional hydration and an even complexion. This is followed by a soothing care mask or, depending on your needs, LED light therapy. Red light stimulates collagen production, blue light soothes inflammation and helps with acne.
