How to Maintain Your Cosmetic Results With Smart Skin Care During NYC Winter

Whether you’ve had a laser session, microneedling, a peel, or injectables, winter in New York isn’t always the easiest season for healing and holding onto that glow. The good news is that, with a few smart skincare habits, you can look fresh all season long.

He and his team of aesthetic professionals will guide you through the steps that help maintain your results over time.

Smart Tips to Protect Your Skin This Winter

Winter weather in NYC is tough on your skin’s barrier. Cold air outside strips moisture, while indoor heat can leave your face feeling tight or sensitive. If you’ve just had a cosmetic treatment, your skin is already working hard to repair itself.

Here are the most effective ways to protect and hydrate your skin while it recovers:

• Moisturize more than usual: After lasers or peels, your skin needs a thicker, calming moisturizer. This helps prevent flaking and soothes tightness. 
• Keep the showers warm, not hot: Hot water can be harsh on freshly treated skin. Go gentle and pat your skin dry with a soft towel. 
• Don’t skip sunscreen: Yes, even in winter. Snow and clouds don’t block UV rays, and your skin is more sensitive to light after many treatments. 
• Stay hydrated: Drink water and use a humidifier at night. It helps your skin stay balanced, especially in dry apartments. 
• Go easy on exfoliation: Avoid harsh scrubs or acids if your skin is healing from microneedling or injectables. 
• Stick with your provider’s product advice: Winter might tempt you to try heavier products, but ask your cosmetic specialist before switching up your routine.

Keep Your Skin Comfortable and Results Long-Lasting

Your skin works hard to recover and stay balanced in cold weather. A little extra care can go a long way.
