As the weather cools off, the indoor heat switches on. In the car on the way to appointments, at work, and at home as we’re going about our daily business. All that heated, dry air and decreased humidity can be tough on our skin; drying out delicate tissues and draining our dermis of the moisture that keeps it soft, healthy-looking, and functioning properly. Add in some cold winds and lower outside temperatures, and we all start to notice our complexions looking a little dull. Skin might look more uneven, patchy, or unexpected acne or rosacea might pop up. Restoring the hydration to the dermis is a fast-acting remedy for skin health, and one particular brand has the market talking: if you seek dewy, radiant skin in all seasons, it’s time you met SkinVive®.

A customizable treatment that helps keep the summer glow going

As the weather shifts, so must our skincare routines. Never underestimate the potential of a solid skincare regimen tailored to the season. The right products (for you) can accelerate cell renewal and target dry, rough skin, to restore the skin’s much-needed moisture barrier and reveal a refreshed complexion. 

At Philosophy MD, we’re committed to helping you tailor a routine to meet your unique skincare needs. By integrating top-performing products with a specific recipe for your skin’s unique constellation of requirements, our skilled team can help you turn up the radiance again.

• You’ll likely want a gentler cleanser in the colder months of the year. Try one that’s good for sensitive skin, and doesn’t strip skin or dry it out.
• Introduce serums with Hyaluronic Acid to promote long-lasting hydration and promote a healthy glow.
• Introduce a weekly mask to help repair skin. This one includes Vitamin B5 to help skin repair itself and restore balance. 
• Restore radiance in the eye area with a product that targets dark circles and lines.

The best skincare routines are customized just for you. We’re here to help you pick products, create a tailored plan, and optimize the best of your skin all season long.

Tips for healthy cold season skin

• Stay hydrated: carry a water bottle with you, enjoy hot soups and teas, and introduce more liquids wherever you can. Research shows that the water we consume shows up in the appearance and health of our skin.
• Eat a variety of bright, healthy foods: introducing probiotics, fruits and vegetables high in minerals, nuts and other legumes have a direct impact on the way your skin looks and feels. 
• Encourage healthy circulation with regular exercise: Take the stairs when possible, enjoy a fall walk or run, and find ways to keep moving. Studies show countless links between regular exercise and healthy (glowy) skin –– including reduced inflammation, brighter complexion, and reinforcing the cellular matrix that supports skin’s density and structure.
• Seek support from professionals: our medical experts understand your skin’s unique needs and the products, treatments, and practices that will help you achieve the aesthetic goals you’ve been dreaming about. Whether you’re struggling with acne, concerned about an uneven or dull complexion, or looking for a comprehensive skincare plan with products that keep their promises, we’ve got you covered. 

Restore luminous, healthy skin with SkinVive by Juvéderm

SkinVive is an innovative treatment that deeply hydrates skin well beneath the surface of the dermis. By infusing microdroplets of a hyaluronic acid (HA) formula into the skin, SkinVive has a unique triple-action effect that works to dramatically increase the production of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid—the three elements of your skin that are vital in keeping it looking and behaving its healthiest.

How can SkinVive improve dry skin?

1. Deep hydration with hyaluronic acid: This treatment offers deep hydration that lasts well after treatment and blends seamlessly into the skin. Great to combat that cold season moisture-leaching heat and restoring a healthy moisture barrier that keeps skin glowing.
2. Tackles uneven skin texture: Our patients love the way SkinVive smooths skin for a more radiant complexion. The treatment evens out bumps and blends away pores for a more balanced base.
3. Stimulates cell turnover collagen production: SkinVive triggers collagen production to combat signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, which can be more evident as evidence of last summer fades away. 
4. Low-downtime and easy scheduling: We love non-invasive, minimal-downtime treatments like SkinVive that fit into a busy schedule. 
5. Great for a myriad of target areas: It works on areas beyond the face and is well suited to the neck, décolletage and hands for improved hydration, skin texture, lines and wrinkles, and healthier, younger-looking skin wherever skin is treated.
