Skin Condition Solutions
Aggravated skin conditions and sensitivities, especially in the winter months can make your daily life very uncomfortable. Our seasonal changes in Canada can have serious detrimental effects on your skin.
If your skin feels really tight, dry, and flaky or you're experiencing redness, you probably have sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is much more prone to Rosacea a common skin condition in Canadian winters. Rosacea can result in mild redness and blotchiness, or full blown pustules in more severe cases. A good reason to take care of your sensitive skin in the cold winter months, as Rosacea is treatable, but not cureable.
We recommend exfoliation with non-alcoholic based treatments, as alcohol will only dry out your skin and aggravate it even more. Also starting on regime using a cleanser, toner, moisturizer and mask will relieve the stresses your skin is experiencing.
Exfoliating once to twice a week is important, however with sensitive skin you will want to concentrate on a gentle exfoliation product, avoiding anything gritty which will aggravate the skin once more.
Blotchiness, broken capillaries are further indication of sensitive skin. Smoking, high alcohol and caffeine intake or exposure to extreme temperatures outdoors will also increase your skin sensitivity.
So take care of your skin by reducing these stressors and make an appointment today for a skin treatment at Sunshrine.
