Maintaining Glowing Skin
Maintaining healthy skin during the winter months can often be a difficult task, but skin-care expert Tracie Martyn says there are ways to look radiant and fabulous, even in the chilliest of weather.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 9,553,980 non-surgical procedures were conducted in 2006. Procedures such as chemical peels, botox, skin resurfacing and mesotherapy are all ways in which patients can maintain a healthy and younger looking glow throughout the holiday seasons.
The Importance of Exfoliation
Tracie Martyn, who helps top notch celebtrities like Madonna, Kate Winslet and Susan Sarandon keep their faces looking fresh, says that exfoliation is one of the most important things you can do for your skin.
During the winter months Martyn suggests that both men and women exfoliate more often, up to three times a week, to get rid of dead skin.
“I think people can make the mistake of buying very expensive, heavy creams, thinking their skin is dry, when really they just need to exfoliate,” explains Martyn.
Effective Exfoliating
Martyn says she prefers exfoliating products with fruit enzymes in them since they are gentler on the skin.
She also says that application techniques make all the difference when you’re trying to get your skin to look its best. When applying products she says upward strokes are the way to go.
The Importance of Sleep
Martyn also says that sleeping with a humidifier as soon as the weather starts to get colder can prevent the cold air from damaging skin long-term.
“As soon as you feel that really dry air happening, that’s when you need to use it,” explains Martyn. “I even recommend that my clients use one in their offices.”
