The cooler weather can wreak havoc on our skin. Winter brings with it cold temperatures, indoor heating, hot showers, and harsh winds, which are all factors that can dry out our skin, stripping away natural oils and compromising your skin’s barrier. Our friends at Allira Health Spa have shared some of their top skin tips (including Soaks LED Facial treatment) to help combat the harsh winter elements.
At Soak Bathhouse, we have perfect solutions to keep your skin radiant and healthy throughout the colder months including LED Facial treatment.
Understanding Skin Hydration
Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF) is your skin’s built-in moisturiser. It’s like a sponge that attracts and holds water, keeping your skin hydrated, soft, and healthy. NMF is made up of amino acids, lactic acid, urea, and sugars—substances that naturally occur in your skin. It helps maintain your skin’s barrier, protecting against pollution and harsh weather. When you have plenty of NMF, your skin stays smooth, soft, and flexible. Without enough NMF, your skin can get dry, flaky, and irritated.
Easy Tips to Protect Your NMF
Moisturise Damp Skin: Apply your moisturiser to damp skin to help lock in and seal moisture.
Warm, Not Hot Showers: Keep showers warm instead of hot to avoid stripping natural oils. Aim for under 41 degrees celcius.
Gentle Exfoliation: Exfoliate once a week to remove dry skin. Mix some oil into your exfoliant for extra hydration.
Mild Cleansers: Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers to avoid irritating your skin.
LED Therapy: Use LED light therapy (offered at Soak Bathhouse House) 1-2 times per week to help soothe and repair your skin.
