Keep Your Skin Hydrated this Winter

Winter fun woman portrait Winter is the hardest time to keep your skin looking great. With the bitter cold and dry air, and the indoor heat, your skin’s protective barrier goes through a lot during the winter, and if you don’t take preventative measures, you’ll never be able to escape the fate. Here are our tips on how to keep your skin healthy and glowing even with the cold weather:

  1. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. After you get out of the shower, or after washing your face, make sure to always moisturize. Choose a moisturizer that is oil-based rather than water-based to improve moisture retention.
  2. Even though a long hot shower or bath seems appealing, try and keep your showers shorter and limit to once a day. Showers and baths can strip your skin of moisture and natural oils your skin needs to stay hydrated.
  3. Don’t forget sunscreen even in the winter. The sun can be just as damaging in the winter, and you’ll want to keep your skin protected.
  4. Drink lots of water. We tend to forget about water in the colder months, which can further dry out our skin. Make sure you stay hydrated and your skin will thank you.
  5. Exfoliate. Moisture cannot be absorbed if there are dead skin cells in the way. Using a gentle exfoliator can help
  6. Hyaluronic Acid is a great tool to teach your skin to hydrate on its own. Hyaluronic acid (HA), which is already found in the body, can be injected but can also be applied topically. Skin Medica’s HA5 is a great rejuvenating hydrator that helps replenish your bodies HA and keep it healthy overall.

Keeping your skin healthy and glowing in the winter can be hard, but the more you take care of your skin during these cold months, the more your skin will thank you in the future. Keeping your skin hydrated will keep your skin looking great for years, and seasons, to come. Don’t forget to bundle up if you’re going outside as well!

My instructor was very much hands-on which was a huge benefit. She answered questions, offered suggestions, and made me feel comfortable injecting my very first model with BoNTA and dermal fillers.

I have taken three courses and have been thoroughly pleased with all of them.  The basic and advanced Botulinum Toxin Type A/ Filler course I attended with Jill not only gave me all of the basics I needed to build a successful injectable practice, but gave me the confidence that I would have a support system in the rare event that I had an additional question after the training course.  The sclerotherapy course with Terri Harper was also very beneficial.  In the two years I have been practicing sclero in my practice I have had to contact Terri two times with a question and she has answered within a matter of minutes and offered additional help in the case of further issues.  I could not be happier with the training and follow up support  I receive with AAI and the talented staff I have met along the way.  I would highly recommend these classes and this fantastic group of professionals to anyone.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend both a Botulinum Toxin Type A training course and an actual “day in the office” with Jill Jones, RN,CPSN at the Atlanta Training Center. This was an invaluable learning experience and helped me to become a more confident Botulinum Toxin Type A injector and ultimately, grow my cosmetic practice. AAI instructors keep abreast of all the latest techniques and cover both the basics and advanced information on Botulinum Toxin Type A in their course, which would benefit both new and experienced injectors. I would highly recommend attending aesthetic instructional course as well as shadowing at the Atlanta Training Center.they are truly cosmetic artists!
