Seasonal Facials: Adapting Your Skincare to Columbus's Weather

Columbus has four very different and very distinct seasons: hot, humid summers; cool, crisp autumns; cold, snowy winters; and blossoming springs. Although these transitions deliver their own beauty to the city, they also can wreak havoc on your skin. Seasonal facials are the best treatment to help your skin adapt to the challenges posed by our changing weather — when done consistently, they will keep your complexion glowing year round! Here's why a seasonal facial Columbus Ohio made for your treatment is vital to achieving good skin throughout the year.

The Importance of Seasonal Facials

Seasonal shifts in temperature, humidity, and environmental stressors make your skin's needs change. So, seasonal facials are made specifically for addressing those concerns and deliver your complexion with targeted care for balanced and wellfed skin. Here's how each season plays a role on your skin and why a customized facial is important:

  • Winter: The cold and the indoor heating suck moisture from your skin, causing dryness and flakiness. Yup, hydrating facials restore moisture that has been lost and help build up the skin barrier.
  • Spring: Allergies and heightened pollen count can trigger sensitivity or breakouts. Facials calm irritation, clear congestion.
  • Summer: High humidity and sun exposure can lead to oiliness, clogged pores and hyperpigmentation. The brightening facials actually prevent UV damage, but also control the oil secretion in the skin.
  • Autumn: Air gets cool, which can leave your skin dull and dehydrated after the exposure of summer. Exfoliating facials bring back the glow and get your skin ready for winter.

What is a seasonal facial?

A seasonal facial is designed to address your skin’s needs based on the time of year.
