As the weather cools and the holiday season ramps up, your skin needs a little more care — especially if you’ve had treatments or plan to. That’s why we’re sharing our go-to tips to keep your skin healthy, glowing, and protected all winter long:
🧴 Gentle Cleansing & Hydration
Cold air, indoor heating, and seasonal dryness can stress your skin. Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and a rich moisturizer (think hyaluronic acid or ceramides) to lock in moisture and support skin barrier health.
💧 Moisture from the Inside — and Out
Drink plenty of water, and follow with a nourishing moisturizer right after showering or washing your face so your skin stays plump and soft.
🧴 Skip Harsh Products & Over-Exfoliating
Winter and post-treatment skin are often more sensitive. Avoid strong exfoliants, retinoids, or irritating peels until your skin feels stable again.
☀️ Sunscreen — Yes, Even in Winter
UV rays don’t disappear with clouds or colder weather. A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day protects your skin from sun damage and helps maintain results from any cosmetic treatments.
🌿 Be Gentle, Be Patient
Avoid hot showers, harsh soaps, or excessive friction. If your skin feels tight, sore, or dry — slow down, simplify your routine, and give it time to heal.
✨ Customize Your Care
Whether you’re getting a facial, microneedling, laser, or injectable treatment, aftercare matters. We’ll help guide you toward the right products and routine so you protect your skin and prolong your results.
From all of us at Dr. Kato’s practice, we wish you a healthy, glowing — and joyful — holiday season. 🎄💛
