Dry Winter Skin? Try Cosmetic Acupuncture!

Is it just me or does it seem like it’s winter all of a sudden here in the Finger Lakes? ⁠
⁠
We were lucky here this season! We had mild weather for much longer than usual. 
⁠
If your skin is starting to feel dry now that the indoor heat is turned up and the outdoor air is lower in humidity, you’re not alone. ⁠
⁠
Try cosmetic acupuncture to improve skin circulation and give your skin a boost! ⁠

How does it work?

Acupuncture has been shown by research to increase skin circulation. 

And this improved blood flow means more nutrients and antioxidants to all layers of the skin. 

This, in turn, helps repair the tissues, flush out waste products, reduce inflammation, and build new skin cells more effectively.

All of this leads to better quality, hydrated, and properly functioning skin.

Plus, every cosmetic acupuncture treatment comes with gua sha facial massage, using nourishing and hydrating oils… ⁠

And you can upgrade to the Acupuncture Glow Facial by adding a deeply moisturizing hydrojelly mask. ⁠

Taken together, this is a lot of nourishing, hydrating support for your skin in one relaxing treatment!

Other important tips to support your skin if it’s feeling dry:

〰️ Keep showers short and avoid very hot water if you can. Super hot water dries out skin.⁠

〰️ Take your Omega-3 supplements regularly! Research shows omega-3s appear to improve skin barrier function, sealing in moisture and keeping out irritants.⁠

〰️ Gently exfoliate once or twice a week.⁠

〰️ Drink lots of water to hydrate from the inside out. Aim for half your weight in ounces. ⁠

〰️ Use a facial oil at night after washing your face to seal in moisture. Our favorite, which we use in every cosmetic acupuncture treatment, is My Zen Skincare’s Yin Balancing Facial Oil. ⁠
