Festive Skincare: Let it glow, let it glow, let it glow

IN winter, Your skin faces unique challenges. OUTDOOR cold air combined with INDOOR CENTRAL heating can lead to dryness, irritation, and a loss of luminosity. AURAH CAN HELP.

To maintain a radiant complexion throughout these chilly months, it is essential to adapt your skincare routine. Here’s how you can combat winter skin concerns with luxurious treatments and expert tips from Aurah's skincare specialists.

Understanding Winter Skin

During winter, reduced humidity levels can strip moisture from your skin, leading to dryness and increased sensitivity. The harsh elements can also exacerbate existing conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Recognising these changes allows you to take proactive steps to protect and nourish your skin.

How Christmas AND NEW YEAR Can Affect Your Skin

The festive season, particularly Christmas, brings joy and celebration, but can also create challenges for your skincare routine. Here’s how the holiday season can impact your skin and what you can do to mitigate these effects:

> Stress and Lack of Sleep

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season often leads to increased stress levels and disrupted sleep patterns. Stress can trigger the overproduction of cortisol, a hormone that may contribute to skin issues such as breakouts, inflammation, and dullness. Additionally, insufficient sleep can result in a tired, lacklustre complexion. To combat this, prioritise self-care and ensure you set aside time for relaxation and adequate rest.

> Dietary Changes

The festive season often involves indulgence in rich foods, sugary treats, and alcoholic beverages. Such dietary changes can lead to skin concerns like breakouts and bloating. Sugar, in particular, can increase inflammation and may exacerbate conditions like acne. It’s essential to balance festive indulgences with nutritious foods, such as fruits and vegetables, to support your skin's health.

> Environmental Factors

The winter months, combined with indoor heating, can lead to a dry environment that strips moisture from your skin. Coupled with cold outdoor air, this can lead to increased dryness, irritation, and flakiness. Incorporating hydrating products, such as Aurah’s signature cream face masks, can help restore moisture and protect your skin's barrier during this time.

> Increased Social Activities

With a busy schedule filled with parties and gatherings, your regular skincare regimen may be disrupted. Skipping essential steps in your routine can lead to a buildup of impurities, which may cause skin problems. To maintain healthy skin, try to keep your routine simple yet effective, ensuring you cleanse and moisturise daily, even when you’re short on time.

> Makeup and Holiday Glam

During festive celebrations, many people tend to wear more makeup than usual. This can lead to clogged pores if makeup isn’t thoroughly removed at the end of the day. Maintaining a diligent cleansing routine is vital to prevent breakouts and keep your skin clear. Consider using a nourishing cleanser, then follow up with moisturising treatments to effectively remove makeup.

Aurah OFFERS Tailored Treatments for Winter SKIN

While winter and the Christmas season is filled with joy and celebration, it can also bring challenges that affect your skin. By being mindful of stress levels, dietary choices, and maintaining a consistent skincare routine, you can protect your skin and ensure it remains radiant throughout the festive season. Incorporating treatments from Aurah can provide the extra hydration and nourishment your skin needs during this busy time. Several specific treatments are designed to address winter skin issues. Here’s a look at some exquisite offerings that can rejuvenate your complexion:

Bioactive Algae Peel

The Algae Peel treatment offered at Aurah is particularly beneficial for winter skincare for several reasons:

Deep Hydration

During winter, the skin often becomes dry and dehydrated due to lower humidity. The Algae Peel contains seaweed and algae extracts rich in essential nutrients and moisture. This helps to hydrate the skin deeply, restoring its natural moisture balance and preventing the tight, dry feeling often associated with winter.

Gentle Exfoliation

Winter can lead to a build-up of dead skin cells, which can contribute to a lacklustre complexion. The Algae Peel gently exfoliates the skin, removing these dead cells and promoting cell renewal. This process reveals fresher, more vibrant skin beneath, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy glow in winter.

Soothing Properties

The natural ingredients in the Algae Peel have soothing qualities that can alleviate irritation and redness often seen in winter skin. This makes it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema, which can be exacerbated by cold weather.

Antioxidant Benefits

Algae are known for their high antioxidant content, which helps to protect the skin from environmental stressors. Winter weather can be harsh, and the antioxidants in this treatment can support skin health and combat oxidative stress, helping maintain a youthful appearance.

Nutrient-Rich

The nutrients derived from algae, such as vitamins and minerals, feed the skin and help to promote overall skin health. This nourishment is especially important in winter when the skin may be deprived of essential nutrients due to environmental factors.

By incorporating an Algae Peel into your winter skincare routine, you can achieve hydration, gentle exfoliation, and soothing relief – all vital for thriving skin during the colder months. For more information, visit our treatment page here.

HYDROJELLY FACIAL

The HydroJelly Facials offered at Aurah are particularly advantageous for winter skincare for several compelling reasons:

Intense Hydration

Winter air is often dry and can strip moisture from the skin, leading to dryness and irritation. HydroJelly Treatments utilise advanced formulations that are rich in hydrating ingredients, providing a surge of moisture that is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and suppleness during the colder months.

Soothing Benefits

These treatments have calming properties that help alleviate redness and sensitivity, common issues during winter. The HydroJelly masks are designed to soothe the skin, making them ideal for individuals prone to irritation from harsh winter weather.

Improved Skin Barrier Function

Aurah's HydroJelly formula helps reinforce the skin's natural barrier, which is crucial in winter when it can be compromised. A strengthened barrier protects against environmental aggressors and retains moisture, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and healthy.

Enhanced Absorption of Nutrients

The HydroJelly mask adheres closely to the skin, creating a seal that helps absorb beneficial nutrients. This enhances the effectiveness of active ingredients in the treatment, allowing them to penetrate deeper and provide maximum benefits, which is especially important in winter when skin can become depleted.

Revitalising Appearance

Winter can leave skin looking dull and tired. HydroJelly Treatments revitalise the complexion by boosting hydration and delivering vitamins and minerals, resulting in a brighter, more radiant appearance. This rejuvenation is much needed during grey, overcast winter days.

Customisation

Aurah’s HydroJelly Treatments can be tailored to address specific skin concerns, whether it’s hydration, brightening, or soothing. This bespoke approach ensures individuals receive exactly what their skin needs during the winter months.

Optimal Pulse Light SKIN REJUVENATION

The OPL (Optimised Pulsed Light) skin rejuvenation system offered at Aurah is particularly beneficial for winter skin for several reasons:

Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation

The OPL system is designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which naturally diminishes in winter due to environmental stressors. By promoting collagen synthesis, this treatment helps to improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, counteracting the dullness often experienced during the colder months.

Improvement of Redness and Irritation

Winter can exacerbate skin conditions such as redness, rosacea, and sensitivity. The OPL system targets pigmentation and vascular lesions, effectively reducing redness and evening out skin tone. This helps create a calmer, more balanced complexion, which can be especially soothing during harsh winter conditions.

Treatment of Dryness and Flakiness

By revitalising the skin at a deeper level, the OPL system can alleviate common winter symptoms of dryness and flakiness. Improved skin texture leads to a smoother, healthier appearance, making it less prone to the rough patches that cold weather can induce.

Pore Minimisation and Oil Control

Cold weather can sometimes lead to greater oil production as skin tries to compensate for dryness. The OPL system can help refine pore appearance and regulate oil production, helping maintain clearer skin during the winter months.

Safe and Non-Invasive

The OPL treatment is non-invasive and generally requires minimal downtime, making it an appealing option for those looking to maintain their skincare routine without extensive recovery, particularly during busy winter schedules.

Customisation

Aurah’s HydroJelly Treatments can be tailored to address specific skin concerns, whether it’s hydration, brightening, or soothing. This bespoke approach ensures individuals receive exactly what their skin needs during the winter months.
