Best Ways To Help Your Winter Skin In Sacramento

Winters in the Sacramento region can be cold and windy, conjuring up images of cozy nights by the fire and outdoor entertainment like snowboarding and skiing. And while those things are wonderful, they can also wreak havoc on your skin and hair. The air pumped out by indoor home and commercial heating systems is very drying and can leave your face and hands parched and flaky, as can that lovely heat coming from your fireplace. Hot water from baths, showers and hand washing is tough on skin as well, and lips can chap and peel when exposed to chilly winds. In addition to impacting your comfort and appearance, overly cracked, dry skin can become inflamed or infected. These Sacramento businesses offer solutions to these cold weather problems, leaving you looking and feeling great.

Laurie Foor and Sue Christensen provide expert skincare services to their loyal following of spa clients. Consider a revitalizing facial that is specially customized to meet the unique needs of your winter-weary skin; the facial includes cleansing, gentle exfoliation, a mask and more. The accompanying face-to-fingertips massage may not directly address any epidermal needs, but it is definitely a relaxing treat. Add a hydrating eye mask to soothe dry, crinkly skin around the eyes, which are especially sensitive to cold wind and heated air.
