Take proper care of your skin by adapting your skincare routine to each season’s specific challenges. A robust skincare routine will allow you to meet each season’s unique environment conditions. Temperatures, humidity, sun exposure and other environmental elements vary, creating the need for specialized skincare therapy. Check out what you need to do to properly care for your skin in every season.
It’s important to pay attention to the season if you want to prevent skin damage and treat your skin according to the elements. It’s not enough to maintain optimal hydration levels and moisturize daily. You’ll need to address skin concerns that change from one season to the next. In addition, allergies that break out in specific seasons can cause breakouts that affect your skin. Therefore, even while you’re attending to the allergies’ watery eyes and sneezing and coughing, you can’t neglect the need for skin care.
Summer can bring about various skin problems that are either caused or worsened by the hot and humid conditions. These include heat rash, sunburn, UV-caused darkened patches, pigmentation changes, skin dryness, fungal and bacterial infections, mosquito-born skin conditions, acne flare-ups and heat exacerbation of pre-existing skin conditions (i.e. psoriasis, eczema and other skin conditions that may worsen due to heat, sweating or sun exposure).
If you’re in a cold climate, winter can trigger skin problems that are specific to colder months. Some common winter-related skin issues include dryness and flakiness, chapped lips, eczema flare-ups, psoriasis, frostbite and chilblains, cracking hands and feet, winter itch from dryness and irritation and flare-ups of rosacea symptoms. r
If you suffer from allergies, the most difficult is generally the spring when people with allergies can see dermatological reactions. When the immune system overreacts to the triggers – “allergens” such as pollen – it can cause skin-related symptoms that include swelling, dryness and flaking, eczema and contact dermatitis.
There are many different types of holistic treatments that can help you care for your skin. One of the newest and most effective is the Sofwave™ therapy for skin. Sofwave™ is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low-intensity, high-frequency shockwaves to stimulate tissue regeneration and improve skin health. The shockwave energy encourages the natural healing process which, in turn, promotes tissue regeneration. Skin quality and resilience are enhanced to allow your skin to better-handle seasonal stresses.
Through a process of collagen remodeling, Sofwave™ enhances collagen production so that your skin will feel better and look healthier.
Sofwave™ enhances blood circulation which helps deliver nutrients to your skin and hasten waste removal. With better-nourished, more-hydrated skin, seasonal changes won’t adversely affect you as much as might happen otherwise.
The Sofwave™ therapy accelerates skin repair so red or itchy skin which might be irritated by weather elements can begin the process of repair.
Anti-inflammatory effects of the Sofwave™ therapy can help soothe skin that has been affected by harsh weather conditions or seasonal allergies.
Hydration is at the crux of any good skin-care routine. Sofwave™ stimulates cellular activity which, in turn, improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture and combat dryness.
Sofwave™ is a non-invasive skin treatment option that requires a 45-minute session. There are no needles or other invasive procedures – the Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology SUPERB™ stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin while it protects the epidermis with contact cooling. Through multiple low divergence beams (7) the device can target the mid-dermis with energy pulses at a depth 1.5mm while it protects the outer skin and ensures no damage to the underlying structures beneath the dermis.
To determine whether Sofwave™ therapy for skin is suitable for your specific skin concerns, it’s best to consult with a qualified skincare professional or dermatologist who can tailor a treatment plan that addresses your seasonal skin issues effectively.
