The cold, dry air and the constant shifts between heated indoor spaces and chilly outdoor environments can wreak havoc on our skin. You may find your skin feeling dry, tight, and itchy, and your complexion may lose its radiant glow. If you're prone to sensitivity, you might experience increased redness, stinging or even cracking.
But fear not, for there's good news: with a few adjustments to your skin care routine, you can protect and nourish your skin throughout the winter months. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the essential steps to adapt your skin care regimen for the winter season.

Just as you change your wardrobe to keep you warm and cozy, your skin requires a seasonal shift in care to maintain its health and vitality. When the weather changes, it's essential to adjust your skin care routine to protect and nourish your skin.

To help you maintain healthy, radiant skin throughout the winter season, we've put together a guide on how to adapt your skin care regimen.

Imagine hydrating your skin from within! Microinjections, commonly also referred to as skinboosters, are innovative treatments that target skin hydration at a deeper level. This injectable treatment has emerged as a game-changer in the realm of skin care, delivering hydration directly into the dermal layer of the skin.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that target specific areas to restore volume, microinjections disperse small droplets of hyaluronic acid gel evenly throughout the treated area. The aim is to improve the overall hydration, texture, and elasticity of the skin, rather than create volume.
SKINVIVE (also known as Volite) is a unique hyaluronic acid gel that penetrates deep into skin by small injections distributed over a particular area, delivering hydration, suppleness and smoothing for up to nine months after treatment.
