During the summer months, your skin goes through a lot. UV radiation can be very harmful to the skin, and high temperatures can make you prone to excessive sebum production. So, at the end of summer, you are usually left with dry-looking skin that’s full of fine lines and sun damage.
At Dermacare Laser & Skin Care Clinics, we offer the best medical-grade skin care products to pamper your skin back to its optimal health. And when you are thinking about the next product for yourself, it may be a smart idea to purchase a few extra as gifts for your loved ones. In this blog, you will learn how to choose the best skin care products for your skin.
How to Choose Your Cold-Weather Skin Care
With winter creeping closer every day, you need to update your skin care routine to match the season. We know it doesn’t get that cold in Southern California, but it’s still different than we’re used to. Here are a few tips that you should keep in mind:
-
Opt for Heavy Weight Creams
During the summer months, you probably use lightweight moisturizers to allow your skin to breathe. This is natural, as you’ll be sweating a lot. However, when the temperatures are not that harsh, you won’t sweat as much. Your skin may also be drier, so looking for skin care with thicker formulas can help soothe, hydrate, and soften the skin.
-
Consider Vitamin A, C, and E
After the summer months, your skin probably experienced some damage, even if you were being cautious. Consider skin care products that are enriched with vitamins for some natural revitalization. Vitamin A and C can help reduce fine lines and smooth your complexion, whereas vitamin E is an antioxidant that reduces inflammation.

Get Products With Natural Ingredients
Many over-the-counter products feature a lot of additives and chemicals that can be harsh on your skin. We recommend skin care with organic and natural ingredients. Medical-grade products are often your best choice, as they are made to nourish your skin.
Best Products for Winter Pampering
When you’re preparing your skin care routine, you need to ensure the products are as nourishing and qualitative as possible. Here are some great options from the Dermacare store:
1. Heavy-Weight Moisturizer
During the wintertime, your skin is likely to become dry, being in desperate need of hydration and nourishment. Dermacare’s Heavy Weight Moisturizer is such a great option throughout this time of the year. Strong yet elegant, this day cream features vitamins A, E, and C, along with Co-Q10 and green tea. Everything was set in an aloe base (from the pulp of the plant), bringing extra comfort to your skin while allowing it to breathe.
2. Enriched Night Cream
Your skin needs protection day in and day out, which is why a night cream is also necessary in your routine. The Enriched Night Cream provided by Dermacare is rich in age-defying ingredients like niacinamide, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, green tea, and caffeine. Not only can it reinforce your skin barrier and rejuvenate it, but it can also reduce signs of aging. Now you can truly “get your beauty sleep!”
3. Smoothing and Firming Lotion
Packed with vitamin A (retinol) and plenty of powerful antioxidants, this Smoothing & Firming Lotion can protect your skin from free radicals. Its powerful delivery system goes deep into your skin, hydrating and toning it for a flawless texture. It’s the perfect lotion for you to use if you want to defy the aging process.
