Updated: Jan 5
From potent moisturizers to protective measures, discover how to maintain your skincare regimen during this transformative season with these winter skincare tips.
As the weather shifts this fall, it's crucial to shield our skin from the season's challenges.
At Renew Beauty Med Spa, we aim to share exclusive tips for safeguarding your skincare routine during this time. Join us in exploring five essential skincare recommendations that will help you maintain a glowing, well-hydrated, and robust complexion throughout the frosty season. From nourishing moisturizers to protective measures and pampering treatments, uncover the secrets to keeping your skin radiant and healthy even in the coldest months.
Lock in Moisture with Intensive Hydration
November signifies the start of the cold and dry season, leaving your skin feeling tight and parched. Combat this with intense hydration. Opt for rich, emollient moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid and glycerin, powerful humectants that draw moisture into the skin, ensuring it remains supple and plump. Consider Obagi’s Hydrate Facial Moisturizer or the brand's recently unveiled Hydrate Light for combination and oily skin.
Expert Tip: Apply your moisturizer immediately after bathing to lock in the moisture absorbed by your skin.
Shield Your Skin with Protective Layers
As temperatures drop, shield your skin from harsh environmental factors with a lightweight yet effective broad-spectrum sunscreen. Consider using Colorscience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Glow, a mineral powder product with potent sun protection and light-reflecting pigments for a radiant complexion.

Expert Tip: Reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially if you're spending prolonged periods outdoors.
Nourish Your Skin with Antioxidant-Rich Serums
Counter seasonal shifts with antioxidant-rich serums infused with vitamin C, E, or green tea extract. These antioxidants work wonders at rejuvenating and brightening your complexion. Try Tensage Antioxidant Defense Serum for a radiant, age-defying transformation.
Expert Tip: Preserve the potency of your antioxidant serum by storing it in a cool, dark place.
Pamper Your Skin with Weekly Exfoliation
Prioritize exfoliation during the colder months to eliminate dry, flaky skin and encourage cell turnover. Opt for gentle exfoliants with natural ingredients like oatmeal or jojoba beads. Treat yourself to Renew Beauty Med Spa's Gentle Renewal Scrub, designed to gently slough away dead skin cells while nourishing and soothing the skin.
Expert Tip: Limit exfoliation to once or twice a week to prevent skin irritation and over-exfoliation.
Indulge in a HydraFacial Treatment
Revitalize your skin this winter with a HydraFacial treatment at Renew Beauty Med Spa, tailored to address various skincare concerns, from blemishes to signs of aging. Maintain the results with a consistent skincare regimen, incorporating gentle cleansers and hydrating serums.
