Winter is desert season for your skin. In the winter, the air gets drier and your skin does too. Santa Ana winds, cold nights, and indoor forced-air heating all drain the skin of it’s natural moisture, leaving it feeling parched, tight, dry and flaky. Even oily skin needs to be hydrated - correctly to avoid breakouts.

To see if your skin is dehydrated, gently push your cheek up from the jawbone to the cheekbone. If you see tiny fine lines, drink lots of water and schedule a moisturizing facial. Even if you have facials only occasionally, do it when the seasons change. This will help your skin adapt to the changing seasons.

The most potent moisturizing treatments contain one or more of the following ingredients: essential oils, antioxidant vitamins A, C & E; seaweed or algae; & oxygen which helps carry nourishing agents into the skin.
Recommended: Our Aquasonic Dermabraision Facial that firms, oxygenates and rejuvenates mature and stressed skin. Purified water with gentle ultrasound vibrations remove dry and dead skin cells, followed by a chroma-soothing treatment to moisturize and help stimulate new cell growth. Take a look at this and our other moisturizing facials on www.LPRdayspa.com/treat.
If you want the effects of any facial to last, simply follow this "2-Step Method":

1. Home Care
Exfoliate by scrubbing your face two or three times a week to remove dry, flaky skin from the surface to allow moisturizer to penetrate.
Recommended: Our Marine Body Scrub, available at the Spa or in our Online Boutique.
Moisturize skin on arms, face and neck to allow your skin the time it needs to drink-in the hydration, both day and night.
Recommended: Our Metal Day/Night Cream, available at the Spa or in our Online Boutique.

2. Sun Protection
Wear at least an SPF 25 both on sunny or cloudy days, on arms, neck and face, as drying and aging UV rays go through any window of your car, your office and your home.
Recommended: Our Outdoors Cream, available at the Spa or in our Online Boutique.
Use an umbrella to shield your skin, rain or shine, from the aging and drying UV rays and other airborne particles.
Recommended: Our Protective Umbrella, available at the Spa or in our Online Boutique.
