Your skin is your body’s largest organ and serves as your first defence against pollution, UV rays, and bacteria. That’s why skincare is an important part of maintaining your overall health and well-being. We asked our estheticians from Millcroft Inn & Spa for their insider tips for keeping your skin in tip-top shape year-round.
Never Skip Sunscreen
Wearing sunscreen daily is vital to your skin’s health, since sun damage is one of the leading causes of premature aging. Sunscreen should be applied daily, year-round, for maximum protection. Even on overcast days or in winter, UV rays still penetrate your skin, causing damage that’s often not immediately visible on the surface, but will reveal itself as you age.
The Canadian Dermatology Association recommends daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or higher. Our expert estheticians can recommend the best formulas for your skin at your next facial appointment.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Keeping your skin healthy means keeping it hydrated. Moisturize regularly using products geared toward your skin type. Those with dry skin may prefer a thicker cream moisturizer, while oilier skin types will likely enjoy a thinner, gel-like consistency.
Though it seems counterintuitive, even oily skin types require hydration. Dehydrated skin boosts oil production, making your oily skin even oilier! Ask your esthetician for our top product recommendations.
Get Regular Facials
Regular facials are an excellent way to maintain your skin’s radiance and tackle troublesome skin concerns like acne, congestion, redness, or wrinkles.
For a fully custom experience, our Personalized Facial is a powerful solution for any skin type, as our experienced estheticians provide expert recommendations and tailor your treatment to your specific concerns.
Clients on the go will appreciate our Glow Up Express Facial, which refines skin texture and boosts your skin’s natural radiance in just 25 minutes.
Don’t Underestimate the Power of Body Scrubs & Wraps
Good skincare doesn’t end with your face! Many of our clients also experience skincare concerns like acne, dullness, and wrinkles on other parts of the body, and that’s where our rejuvenating body wraps and scrubs come in.
For the best of both worlds, try our Millcroft Swiss Hydrating Wrap, which combines our signature scrub technique with a luxurious full-body mask to rejuvenate your skin from head to toe.
Avoid Over-Exfoliating
Exfoliation is key to keeping your skin clear and maintaining a healthy glow. However, it’s important not to overdo it! Over-exfoliation can cause long-term dryness, flakiness, redness, and even make wrinkles seem more prominent.
If your skin is over-exfoliated, visit us for a Hydra-Bright Facial, an 80-minute luxurious treatment designed to hydrate, smooth, and revitalize your skin with our soothing Hydra-Jelly mask.
