How Hydrafacial® Can Combat Humidity in TX
Does your skin break out during the hot and humid Houston summers? Here’s the scoop on how Hydrafacial® can help combat humidity in Texas and keep your gorgeous skin clear and healthy!
We do our best to keep our skin clean, healthy, and looking youthful, but our environment plays such a huge role in our skin’s health. It’s true that hot weather coupled with high humidity can be miserable overall. It makes you feel overheated and sluggish, and can even dehydrate you. There’s another plight of Texas humidity, though, and it’s the havoc it can wreak on your skin. Even if you keep hydrated, the effects of humidity on your skin can be a real downer.
How do Heat and Humidity affect the skin?
Humid weather means there are high levels of moisture – or water vapor – hanging around in the air. The moist air sticks to your skin, preventing your sweat from evaporating. High levels of humidity also stimulate your skin’s oil production, which means the sweat that’s sticking around on your face is also carrying oil and bacteria right into your pores and clogging them up. What do clogged pores lead to? That’s right! Acne. That’s why, when the weather gets hot and humid, it’s time to start cleaning out those pores regularly to prevent both blemishes and the scars that they leave behind.
How Hydrafacial Combats the effects of humidity
Regular facials are so beneficial for your skin, and they should undoubtedly be a part of your ongoing skincare routine. The Hydrafacial, though, works a bit differently – we daresay BETTER – than standard facials. The process involves the use of a “hydradermabrasion” device to resurface the skin. High velocity, pressurized saline is used on the skin and effectively clears each pore of residual dirt and oil while treating the skin with a serum that moisturizes. This leaves the skin both cleaner and healthier.
Benefits of Hydrafacial over other facials
You may be asking, why get a Hydrafacial over other spa facials? Almost every type of facial has a few steps. A normal treatment aims to cleanse, exfoliate, relax, and protect the skin with products like moisturizing face masks. When it comes to Hydrafacials, though, the process is more comfortable and pore extractions are deeper so that the skin gets even clearer than with a regular facial.
Aside from the cleansing and moisturizing, a Hydrafacial also has other benefits like:
💧 Exfoliating and removing dead skin
💧 Improving skin’s overall tone
💧 Improving blood circulation
💧 Stimulating the production of collagen and elastin
💧 Firming up and tightening skin
💧 Reducing the appearance of wrinkles
💧 Lightening up scarring and dark circles
Other Cosmetic Treatments to Counteract the Effects of Humid Texas Summers
Summers in Houston, Texas are brutal. The effects of that sun, heat, and humidity can certainly be counteracted with regular Hydrafacials, but there are some other excellent skin treatments available at Lush RX that can be coupled with your new go-to facial.
Reverse signs of sun damage with RF Microneedling
Sunspots or premature wrinkles got you down? RF Microneedling is a treatment that can repair your damaged skin. It uses tiny needles to puncture the skin, introduce radiofrequency waves, and create ‘microwounds’ that jump-start your skin’s healing abilities. With new skin being formed and collagen production stimulated, your skin will appear clearer and more youthful.
Get rid of dead skin with a Chemical Peel
If there was ever a ‘reset’ button for your skin, a chemical peel would be it. This facial treatment is great for addressing sun damage. It uses chemicals to blister the skin on your face, which eventually peels away and reveals brand new skin underneath. The healing process after a chemical peel can last up to two weeks, but your skin will look brighter, healthier, and younger.
Cool Laser Therapy for damaged skin and wrinkles
There’s an incredibly modern and non-invasive method for addressing mild to moderate acne scars, wrinkles, and other damage that the Texas sun causes. Cool Laser Therapy essentially heats up a specific area of skin without damaging your skin tissue. The heat promotes the production of collagen in order to address scarring, lines, and wrinkles caused by heat, humidity, and UV rays.
