How many times have clients mentioned their skin feeling extra dry in the last few months? As a clinic owner or aesthetic professional, you know it’s that time of year when nearly everyone feels concerned about their skin’s hydration levels and moisture retention. It’s for good reason, too. The combination of cold air, low humidity, and indoor heating can leave skin feeling parched, flaky, reddened, irritated, or in need of extra care. Below, we’ll outline how you can support your clients’ skin health through the chilly months and which devices are ideal for rejuvenating their skin.
How winter can impact your skin clinic
Winter can be a challenging season for maintaining good skin health – particularly for anyone who’s already prone to dryness and dehydration. Many clients go straight to heavy exfoliation at the first sign of dryness and flakiness, which as you know, is not necessarily the best solution. Without your intervention, clients may become stuck in the loop of noticing flakiness, over-exfoliating, and impacting their skin barrier.
Making matters difficult for you, clients who have compromised or impaired skin barriers aren’t always ideal candidates for receiving more intensive (and profitable) treatments. Until their skin feels strong and resilient, their appointments may need to focus on rehydration and boosting moisture content.
Best skin treatments for winter
It’s crucial to offer treatments that not only address their primary concern (dryness, dehydration, or skin barrier health), but options that help them maintain beautiful skin. Additionally, while clients spend less time in the sun, now is the best opportunity to recommend treatments that strictly require no sun exposure before or after the treatment.
Once you’ve restored your clients’ hydration and moisture content, here are five devices that offer toning, texture, pigmentation, vascular, and anti-aging treatments. After a brush with a compromised skin barrier, your clients will be eager to welcome back their skin’s health and radiance quickly!
