Now that the temperatures have dropped and winter is here with us, the need to prioritize your skincare routine especially if you recently had a laser hair removal cannot be over-emphasized. Winter is a season that comes with certain benefits for those considering laser hair removal treatments however, it also demands extra attention to keep your skin glowing and healthy. In this blog, we’ll explore why laser hair removal in winter is a great choice and discover how to maintain the results achieved in the treatment with essential winter skin care tips.
Why Winter is the Best Time for Laser Hair Removal
The winter season is the perfect season for laser hair removal treatments and here’s why: during the winter months, your skin's exposure to sun is minimal thereby reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation and irritation after treatment. Bundling up in winter clothes to protect yourself from the cold also serves as protection for your skin from UV rays which is important for achieving optimal results.
One more advantage of laser hair removal in winter is that if you do your treatment now, you’ll be ready to flaunt your smooth, hair-free skin by next summer. Laser hair removal treatment plans require multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart and winter offers the perfect timing for starting and completing these procedures.
Tips for Maintaining Smooth Skin During Winter
Post-laser hair removal in winter demands that your skin is specially cared for to keep it hydrated and protected due to the dry weather. Find below, some of the post-laser hair removal care tips you should follow to keep your skin healthy during winter.
- Stay Moisturized: Winter weather comes with high levels of dryness, and this can dehydrate your skin making it feel flaky and dry. Use fragrance-free moisturizers to keep your skin moisture-locked in soothing treated areas. Get moisturizers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and shea butter for maximum results.
- Protect Your Skin from the Sun: Winter is not completely void of sun and even little UV rays from the winter sun can cause damage especially if you’ve just undergone laser hair removal treatment. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen on the treated areas of your skin daily especially if they are exposed. Use at least SPF 30 to ensure that your skin is completely protected to avoid hyperpigmentation and irritation.
- Avoid Hot Showers and Baths: Everybody likes hot showers during the winter months to warm up for the day. However, as tempting as this can be, high temperatures can dehydrate your skin and cause irritation in the treated areas. Therefore, avoid hot showers and use lukewarm instead. While you do that, remember to gently pat your skin dry instead of wiping after the shower to avoid irritations.
- Exfoliate Gently: This can help prevent ingrown hairs post-laser hair removal. But before you do that, give at least a week interval after your session. When exfoliating, use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt to maintain smooth skin without irritations.
