Keep your skin protected and in top form over the colder months in Melbourne.

The harsh colder climate and dry indoor heating during Melbourne’s winter can leave your skin in a less than ideal texture and tone.

Caring for your skin and body during winter takes just a little extra time and effort due to the conditions that are rather extreme for our skins protective barrier.

Skin faces many elements during the colder months and requires more TLC to support the skin’s needs. Our protective barrier requires support to fight against the elements of cold air, snow season and heaters continually being on to keep our bodies warm.

Low humidity is negative about winter and what this means for us is that our skin is deprived of moisture daily and remaining more indoors is great for lack of sun exposure, however not a positive for the skin with indoor blasting of dry heat.

The results are flakey dry skin and for some people dry flakey itchy skin.  Untextured skin and high flushed red skins due to the overheating of dry heat being blown directly around or into your face whilst driving in your car or indoors.

The number 1 skin condition we face more than ever during winter is TRANSEPIDERMAL WATER LOSS.  Transepidermal water loss will result in a reduced epidermal water percentage, which impacts o the skin’s barrier’s, bi-layers and reduces epidermal enzymatic activity, causing:

1. Lower cellular lipids
2. Impaired acid mantle and immune response
3. Compromised structural skin integrity

Skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis suffer from severe trans epidermal water loss.  These conditions occur when vital fluids evaporate and the skin becomes dry and inflamed.

Inflammation, lack of firmness and thickened red pore appearance are all indicators of transepidermal water loss. Restoring free water levels and thickening the matrix of the skin is an integral part of revising the skin back to a healthy functioning state.

The following tips will help prevent, restore, maintain and support the uncomfortable times that winter presents to our skin.

TIPS and TRICKS

• Add moisture to your home. Have a humidifier running in your home to add moisture to the air
• Add internal moisture with EFA’s and keep well hydrated with water (do not overindulge in trying to keep warm with caffeine as it’s a diuretic and creates dehydration
• Don’t forget sunscreen is to be worn all year round
• Choose extra moisture in your skin care and add boosters to help add extra hydration and protection
• Choose a cleanser that adds barrier protection and opt-out of foaming cleansers that can be astringent to the skin
• Add a hydration mask to your home regime
• Increase the in-clinic treatments and add hydrating facials, LED, peels and DMK Enzyme treatments to keep your skin in good steed

With that additional TLC, you can have a winter glow in your skin and skin health/wellbeing all year round.
