The Weather has certainly take a turn and this can play havoc with your skin. Snowy weather can have several effects on the skin, some of which are:

  1. Dryness: Cold temperatures and low humidity in snowy weather can cause the skin to become dry, itchy and flaky. This happens because cold air can strip the skin of its natural oils, making it more susceptible to damage.
  2. Chapping: Excessive exposure to cold and wind can cause the skin to become chapped and cracked. This can be particularly uncomfortable around the lips, hands and feet.
  3. Redness and irritation: Cold temperatures can cause the skin to become red and irritated, particularly if it is exposed to extreme cold for a long time.

If you are out enjoying the snow today, protect your skin with the following tips:

  1. Moisturise: Use a good quality moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and prevent dryness. Look for products that contain natural ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, and hyaluronic acid.
  2. Wear warm clothing: Dress in layers to keep your body and skin warm. Choose fabrics that are soft and gentle on the skin like cotton, wool, or silk.
  3. Protect your hands and face: Wear gloves, scarves, and hats to protect your hands and face from the cold, wind, and snow.
  4. Use a humidifier: Indoor heating can dry out the air and lead to dry skin. Using a humidifier can add moisture to the air and help keep your skin hydrated.
  5. Avoid hot showers: Hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils and cause dryness. Instead, take warm showers and limit your time in the water.
  6. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water and fluids to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

By following these tips, you can protect your skin and keep it healthy during the cold weather. Keep safe and enjoy the snow!

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
