The skin is constantly prone to being affected by external factors, and the seasons of the year are among those factors. Each season brings its own challenges: dryness in winter, excessive oil and sun exposure in summer, and changes in humidity during spring and autumn. If we don’t adjust our skincare to the season, we may face issues like dryness, inflammation, or premature aging.
Face skin care is essential in all seasons because it is necessary to nourish and protect the skin from various environmental effects. By tailoring your care to the demands of each season, you will contribute to the healthy looks of your skin.
So, let’s understand how to care for the skin throughout the year and how the Medines Medical Center can assist with this.
Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and its condition is closely tied to external factors such as temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet radiation. Ignoring seasonal changes can, over time, lead to dryness, irritation, or inflammation. To prevent such issues, it is essential to have personalized skin care tailored to your skin type and condition.
To achieve proper facial skincare, it is important to understand your skin type, as this determines the choice of care products, frequency, and necessary procedures. Normal skin, known for its balanced oil production, minimal issues, and smooth appearance, undergoes only slight changes throughout the year.
Dry skin is tight, flaky, and often irritated, and it is particularly troublesome during the cold months. For this type of skin, it is recommended to use heavier moisturizing products in winter, and lighter ones in summer.
Oily skin is shiny, with enlarged pores, and prone to inflammation. It requires seasonal care throughout the year, including light exfoliation, lightweight moisturizers, and oil-free sunscreens.
Sensitive skin is prone to redness, irritation, and allergic reactions. To care for and maintain its health, soothing products with light ingredients, free from fragrances, are necessary.
Many of us try to guess our skin type based on its condition. For example, when we experience flakiness, we assume our skin belongs to the dry type, and when it becomes excessively oily, we think it falls under the oily skin category. However, from a medical perspective, the condition of the skin is a direct reflection of a person's overall health. In many cases, including flakiness and dryness, the skin might simply reflect a person's general health status.
Thus, we may incorrectly or incompletely determine our skin type and, based on that conclusion, start using various skincare products, which, over time (if not immediately), may have negative or incomplete effects on our skin.
Therefore, the first step in skincare is determining which skin group your skin belongs to. To do this, we can just visit the Medines Medical Center for a consultation with a specialist.
A significant portion of facial care depends on our diet and skincare products. However, to apply these effectively and make them more efficient, specialized consultation, research, and monitoring with the help of a cosmetologist are necessary.
At Medines Medical Center, consultations are conducted by high-level, trained specialists, after which the next steps in skincare are determined. During the consultation, the skin type is also determined using a device-based method, and appropriate treatments are prescribed accordingly.
After determining the skin type and any contraindications, the specialist prescribes an advanced facial care procedure. The facial care at the medical center includes a three-step cleansing, exfoliations, and the application of a mask to conclude the treatment. The procedure is safe and allows for the restoration of skin health in a short period or contributes to maintaining the well-groomed appearance of already healthy skin.
At Medines Medical Center, skincare is continuous, with our qualified specialists always available to conduct thorough examinations and facial care procedures. Therefore, another key factor in achieving healthy and flawless skin is proper facial skincare, nutrition, and, of course, overall health.
The medical center is located at Vardanants 110. Consultations with a high-level specialist are free of charge. To register, you can call +374 55 505 605.
