To Combat the Windy City's Winter Chill, Enjoy a Restorative Murad(R) Healthy Skin Facial at a Chicagoland Massage Envy Spa location

Since the dry and frigid air has taken a toll on many Chicago denizens’ skin this winter, Massage Envy Spa is offering five tips on how to improve the look and feel of damaged skin:

• Moisturizers with vitamins C and E are important for sealing in moisture and keeping skin hydrated during frosty weather. Massage Envy’s Environmental Shield Vitamin C Facial helps to reverse any environmentally caused issues with a pure Vitamin C regimen.
• Those with more mature skin should switch to a petroleum-based regimen containing glycerin acid to keep skin hydrated in winter conditions. Massage Envy’s Anti-Aging Facial features Dr. Murad’s signature Glycolic Acid formulation.
• Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as lactic acid, have amazing abilities to help skin retain moisture and also act as gentle exfoliators. Massage Envy’s Sensitive Skin Facial utilizes lactic acid to target redness, dryness and irritation.
• Winter conditions can cause skin to become more irritated and inflamed than usual. Products that contain salicylic acid have countless benefits, including cleaning deep within pores and diminishing pore size, which ultimately reduce signs of irritation. Massage Envy’s Clarifying Enzyme Acne Facial uses salicylic acid to deeply clear pores without causing dryness or furthering irritation.
• Dead skin cells build up in the winter due to dryer, colder weather. Professional facials provide deeper exfoliation than you can achieve at home, improving your skin’s ability to retain moisture and ultimately your overall skin tone.
