Winter SkinCare

(Article provided by Ziba day spa & art gallery )

Weather conditions can vary greatly in the winter months and depending on where you live or where you'll be vacationing, you'll need the low- down on climate appropriate skin care.

In cold climates, dryness is our very worse enemy. Dry flaking skin, chapped cracked lips, windburn, rashes, and even blisters come with extreme cold and the artifically heated homes. The cold climates also bring the dangers of sun exposure. If you are skiing, watch out for the sunburn (Sun reflects off water as well as the snow in the winter) -and in extreme cases-frostbite! In mild or tropical winter climates, we still experience dryness. Often, with slightly cooler weather, we become lax in sun protection. Also, buildings tend to be way over-heated even in mild climates, and artifical environments can be rough on your skin. Prevent loss of moisture and replenish what moisture you know you will lose by following your prescribed skin-care routine.

Start with a Renewal peel, I like the Enzyme Pumpkin peel, to strip that winter rough skin and boost with a protien mask. Always use a moisture sunscreen year round. A humidifier to increase the needed moisture in the air is a keen notion. Maintain a well balanced and proper diet with lots of needed pure water!

It's toner time...what's that mean? 
We are aware of the toner to moisturize the skin; however; it does even more than that. Men and women alike are reaping the benefits of using a quality professional toner to balance the PH levels; refine; stop bacteria; and to protect the delicate skin. Some toners are designed to increase blood-flow as well as stop harmful acne causing bacteria! Ask your skincare professional and turn winter weakness into a winter wonder -land for your precious skin.
