Winter Skin Care Tips for Face

The winter season with its first snowfall has its beauty. However icy temperatures, low air humidity and indoor heat simply pull out moisture from the skin. Add to the environmental factors hot showers and harsh soaps and what you are left with is dry, itchy and flaky skin. The dehydration process also disrupts cell turnover, leading to an avalanche of dead cells and a lifeless, dull skin.

The solution is to understand that your skin has different needs during the changing seasons and increase your layers of support with proper skin care.

1. Talk with a professional who can analyze your skin type and condition to recommend appropriate care products for your skin.

2. Use a gentle foaming cleanser or cleansing milk. Add a hydrating mask. Avoid alcohol based toners.

3. Say goodbye to your water-based summer moisturizer and use one with emollients such as natural oils, like jojoba, almond or olive. A good winter moisturizer should have humectants such as hyaluronic, lactic and glycolic acids as it will attract water from the dermis into the epidermis.

4. Layer a hydrator under your moisturizer, a serum or hydrating booster to increase your level of protection against the environmental factors. If you are concerned with pre-mature aging make sure you use a product with retinol, it will help with cell turnover.

5. Sunscreen isn’t just for the summertime. Winter sun combined with snow glare can still damage your skin. Defend against ultraviolet rays with moisturizing sunscreen and antioxidants-especially if you engage in winter sports.

6. Drink plenty of water or Green Tea with honey and lemon to boost Vitamin C and antioxidants intake. Consider investing in a humidifier.

What Are the Benefits of Routine Facials?

At C.Joy Salon, we believe facials are an essential skincare luxury everyone can enjoy. Here are 4 of the many benefits.

Facials clean more deeply than you can at home
A facial is a luxurious, deep-cleaning treatment that’s wonderfully relaxing to both body and spirit. Every facial includes cleansing, exfoliating, the application of a mask and moisturizer, and therapeutic massage. 

Facials promote healthier skin
Routine facials hydrate the skin for a radiant, glowing complexion. They relieve the stress that causes fine lines and wrinkles; they also stimulate collagen to encourage cell renewal, resulting in a more youthful look. Facials help clear up acne, breakouts and other problems. 

Facials offer you a complete skin analysis
We evaluate your skin under a magnified lamp, so we can tailor your facial to your specific needs. This helps us uncover any skin issues you’re experiencing as well. We’ll make recommendations for skincare treatments and products, and discuss your regular routine at home.

 

Facials are a pampering ritual just for you
We all need restorative rituals, and a facial is your time to feel relaxed and renewed. The serene environment envelopes you the moment you settle into our anti-gravity chair — so comfortable, you’ll feel like you’re floating on air. 

Massage in particular feels wonderful as it exfoliates skin, tones muscles and stimulates circulation. Gentle music and aromatherapy scents complete the feeling of bliss.

C.Joy Salon invites you to experience all the benefits for yourself. We’d love to see you!

3 Ways to Drink More Water

Your massage therapist often reminds you to drink lots of water after your massage. What great advice–after an appointment, but also for every day.

Here are 3 tips to staying hydrated.

Take water with you
You’re already in the habit of taking water with you to the gym. Now, step it up and take a bottle with you every time you head out the door. This is one of the easiest, most effective ways to drink more water.

Add a splash of fruit juice to rev up the taste without adding a lot of calories or sugar. For a serious zap of flavor, try Crystal Light or Propel. Both come in single-serving packets; just dump in the powder and shake. A dash of lemon or lime juice is refreshing, too.

Try some tea
We may be the coffee capital but tea, especially herbal tea, offers great taste with the power to hydrate. Try some of Tazo’s blends like Wild Sweet Orange and Passion Iced Tea. If you’re into organic, Yogi Tea is an ideal brand with flavors like Egyptian Licorice Mint, Himalayan Apple Spice and Tahitian Vanilla Hazelnut.

Eat to hydrate
You know fruits and veggies are packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Did you know they’re loaded with water, too?

• Cucumbers  – 96% water
• Lettuce  – 95% water
• Watermelon – 92% water
• Cantaloupe  – 90% water
• Grapefruit  –  91% water

As the weather warms, visit local farmers markets to load up on fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables. You’ll stay hydrated and well-fed while supporting our local farmers. More stands will be opening up as we head into spring. Keep your eyes open!
