Winter Skin Saviours: The Four Products We Never Skip
Winter asks a lot of your skin. Cold air outside, dry heat inside and hotter showers all take a toll. Add in less daylight, and the change soon starts to show. By mid morning, skin can look tight. It also looks duller than it did in September. No matter how much moisturiser goes on top, makeup sits flat.
So what is the answer? Rarely more product. Instead, it is better product, used in the right order. Professional treatment behind it helps too. Because of that, these four winter skin saviours come back into rotation every year.
1. The Mask by WOW facial®
The Mask is stage five of the six stage WOW facial® protocol. It is also the stage clients tend to remember. Straight after treatment, skin looks calmer, plumper and more comfortable. That is exactly what winter skin is asking for.
Best of all, you do not have to wait for your next appointment. The Mask is available for home use too. So you can top up between treatments when your skin feels tightest. Once a week suits most people through the coldest months. However, your practitioner can advise if your skin needs more.
2. Synergy 6 by Intradermology®
Winter sun still reaches your skin. So does the blue light from the screen you are reading this on. Because of that, SPF is not a summer only step. Synergy 6 NX-GEN SPF 50 finishes every WOW facial®. It should finish your morning routine at home too. Skip it from November to March, and you undo much of the work you have paid for.
3. Intense Repair Complex by Intradermology®
This one is your overnight recovery step. Daytime products focus on protection. Intense Repair Complex on the other hand, works while you sleep. As a result, skin looks smoother and better rested in the morning. In short, think of it as the counterweight to central heating.
4. WOW fusion®, with or without PDRN
WOW fusion® delivers a bespoke solution into the skin. It uses 20 gold plated needles at just 0.13mm. Because of that, your practitioner can tailor the treatment to your skin this season. There is no fixed formula.
So which option is right for you? Ask about PDRN if your priority is the appearance of skin quality and firmness. Without PDRN, the focus shifts instead to hydration, brightness or ageing concerns. It depends on the complex your practitioner selects. Either way, a good practitioner will talk you through both routes.
Where to start
Every skin is different. The Mask, Synergy 6 and Intense Repair Complex are all yours to use at home, so you can keep the routine going between appointments. WOW fusion® is the exception. It is a professional treatment, carried out in clinic by a trained practitioner only, which is what allows the solution to be matched to your skin rather than guessed at.
