Calgary's harsh winter weather can be particularly challenging for your skin. The combination of cold outdoor temperatures, dry indoor heating, and low humidity can leave your skin feeling tight, dry, and irritated.

Understanding Winter Skin Challenges

During Calgary's winter months, the humidity levels drop significantly, both outdoors and indoors. This lack of moisture in the air draws water from your skin, leading to dehydration and compromised barrier function.

Essential Winter Skincare Tips

1. Upgrade Your Moisturizer

Switch to a richer, more emollient moisturizer during winter months. Look for ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin that help lock in moisture.

2. Don't Skip Sunscreen

UV rays can be just as damaging in winter, especially with snow reflection. Continue using broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily.

3. Use a Humidifier

Adding moisture to your indoor air can help prevent skin dehydration. Aim for 30-50% humidity in your home.

4. Gentle Cleansing

Avoid harsh, stripping cleansers that can further compromise your skin barrier. Opt for gentle, hydrating cleansers instead.

Consider professional treatments at Dermovibe to help your skin through the winter months:
