‘Tis the Season for these Four Winter Skincare Treatments
When we typically think of the holidays, we focus on giving to loved ones, shopping for gifts and eating copious amounts of food. The winter months in San Marcos are the busiest for most but, as it turns out, the holidays are also the best time for self-care. As the temperature drops and the days get shorter and shorter, this snuggly weather becomes the most opportune time for winter-friendly skincare products and services. Read on to find out which of Beauty Lounge’s most popular offerings will help you ring in the new year feeling refreshed!
Chemical Peels:
As we know, extreme winter conditions can be extremely harsh on the skin. However, the summer leading up to it can be equally as harsh! Ultraviolet rays can cause significant damage to exposed skin and lead to sun spots, UV damage, and the formation of free radicals, which can then lead to wrinkles and skin cancer.
Chemical peels remove layers of damaged skin with the application of customized liquids, specially formed to treat your specific skin concerns, so new skin can grow in its place. This special treatment is best fit for the winter; when applied during winter months, the lack of sunlight exposure protects the new skin that grows in place of the old skin. Though it’s still important to wear sunscreen daily, the colder months, shorter days and low temperatures mean less time outdoors and more time for the skin to recover.
Not only can chemical peels be applied during a busy day of holiday shopping, they help improve pore size, fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, active acne and acne scarring.
ZO Skin Health:
General stress causes our bodies to make hormones like cortisol, which causes oily skin, resulting in acne, irritation and even the lack of motivation to stay on track with our daily routines. Holiday stress only amplifies this! At Beauty Lounge, we highly recommend and offer ZO® Skin Health in-store to patients needing a therapeutic recharge of their skin’s overall health. In tandem with our trained medical providers, its collection’s array of cutting-edge products combine skin therapy technologies, bioengineered complexes and exclusive formulations focused on results-oriented solutions.
Ideal for patients interested in seriously combatting their skin concerns, ZO Skin Health is heavily researched, backed by science and is clinically proven to improve skin’s elasticity, firmness and appearance of sagginess. The best part? You can pick it up right at Beauty Lounge just in time for holiday gift giving!
Laser Hair Removal:
It may seem like summer is far, far away; however, it’ll be time to pull our bikinis from storage before we know it. To make sure you’re prepared for the return to La Jolla Cove Beach, now is the time to consider laser hair removal for any unwanted hair. A permanent solution for those dealing with unmanageable hair growth, laser hair removal will gradually reduce hair growth over multiple sessions just in time for beach weather.
Since it’s encouraged to avoid sun exposure two weeks prior to the procedure for optimal results, the winter months provide the perfect opportunity to begin treatment. Plus, removing unwanted hair once and for all requires a series of laser hair removal treatments spanned across 4-6 weeks. If you’re determined to remove hair from your face, legs, arms or intimate areas before the summer, we can help, but we recommend scheduling your first appointment very soon.
Spa Facials:
Don’t think we forgot about the most important message of all: treat yourself! After all of the hard work you’ve done to make this holiday season special for your friends and family, you deserve some pampering time. Whether you’re in a hurry and need a quick, 30-minute custom facial that refreshes skin during lunch break, or if you’re in dire need of an hour-long, age defying facial and relaxing massage, our skilled estheticians will ensure you leave feeling your very best.
Our full menu of facials help restore the skin’s complexion and relax overworked minds all in one session. It’s essential to take care of our skin and souls during our most hectic moments and luckily, spa facials can help with both. Formulated to invigorate tired skin, remove dead skin cells and more, our medical professionals will work with you to determine which customized facial will best treat your skincare concerns. Think of it as a holiday gift for yourself!
