Spring in to New Skin




Warmer weather and fresh flowers are on their way as spring quickly approaches. As we wait with anticipation to pull out our sandals and pack up our sweaters, our skin might not be as ready to embrace the new season. Don’t worry! There is still time to prepare. Here are some tips to help get your skin ready for spring.

Feet
They’ve been bundled up in wool socks and leather boots, but it’s time to get your feet ready to see the sun again. The first step in getting your feet in tip-top shape is to exfoliate. Use a gentle exfoliating cleanser or scrub to wash away the dead skin and reveal soft, new heels and toes. Next, moisturize. Be consistent in this step, and don’t neglect your toenails and cuticles. The final step is optional (and primarily for the female readers), but a little color added to your toes is a great complement for your toe-baring sandals!

Body
Your skin is probably still recuperating from the dry, cold winter air. To give your skin a boost toward a springtime glow, start by exfoliating. Just like your feet, the rest of your skin needs a gentle cleanser or scrub to help buff away dry skin. Use an exfoliating brush or cloth in the shower along with your exfoliating wash for optimal results. The next step is to apply a moisturizing body lotion to rehydrate your skin. To take care of dry patches that don’t go away with the first two steps, you can invest in some over-the-counter deep moisturizing balms or, for extreme cases, talk to your physician about a stronger solution.

Face
Although staying true to your regular skin care routine is a good rule of thumb, throwing something new into the mix might be just what your face needs to achieve a healthy spring glow. An option you should consider is one of our many medi spa treatments. One treatment we recommend when first visiting our medi spa is a facial. Our many facial options include treatments like deep exfoliation, a therapeutic massage or extractions to clean out clogged pores and eliminate dead skin cells. These three steps will nourish your skin and promote new cell turnover. Another treatment we offer is microdermabrasion. This treatment rejuvenates your skin, using a state-of-the-art diamond-tipped wand to remove dead skin cells and other impurities.
