Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Jo Martin of Dermatology Associates was recently featured in Real Simple’s article, “Refresh—Here’s What the Experts Recommended From the Sephora Sale.”
In the piece, Dr. Martin highlights the SEPHORA COLLECTION Gentle Exfoliating Peeling Serum with Niacinamide + Lactic Acid, an exfoliating serum for those looking to “improve skin tone and barrier function.” She explains that this powerful combination “helps exfoliate skin, leading to improvements in tone and texture,” while also supporting the skin’s barrier and “eliminating dry, dull skin.” Dr. Martin’s expert insight helps readers make informed choices for radiant, healthy-looking skin this season.
Why Do You Need to Change Your Skincare Routine for Winter?
As temperatures drop, Dermatology Associates’ team of experts in the Portland Metro Area emphasizes the importance of adapting your skincare routine for winter. Cold weather and indoor heating can strip the skin of moisture, leading to dryness, irritation, and flakiness. To keep skin healthy and hydrated, we recommend:
- Switching to a richer moisturizer to help lock in hydration and protect the skin barrier.
- Using gentle exfoliants like lactic acid to remove dull surface cells without over-drying.
- Incorporating hydrating serums with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide.
- Applying sunscreen daily, since UV damage can occur even on cloudy or cold days.
- Using a humidifier indoors to counteract the drying effects of heaters.
With the right seasonal adjustments and Dermatologist-recommended products, your skin can stay radiant, smooth, and well-protected all winter long.
