5 Holiday Skincare Tips From Vancouver Skin Doctor

From travel plans to hosting, December is a stressful time. Coupled with all the candy, chocolate, and holiday cheer, the holidays can really take a toll on your skin. As a skin doctor in Vancouver, Dr. Kamani has a few simple tips to keep your complexion glowing with seasonal magic.

Cleanse Regularly
Clean skin is always the basis of healthy skin. This is particularly important when your holiday make-up routine is in play. All the extra foundation, concealer, highlighter, and blush can clog delicate pores, leaving you prone to breakouts. Wash your skin thoroughly every morning and night. Opt for a good all-round product like SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser, which will purify skin without drying it out.

Don’t Forget to Tone
After cleansing, introducing a toner into your routine will help to close pores and tighten your skin’s defences. This is especially useful for protecting your skin from extra make-up as well as environmental contaminants. Use daily in the morning and night to remove any excess sebum and balance your skin’s pH.

20% Off Facial Peels in November

Shuck away dead, dry skin to reveal the radiance underneath! For November, Dr. Kamani is offering medical-grade facial peels for 20% off.

A relative newcomer to the beauty scene, facial peels have become hugely popular for those relentlessly pursuing beautiful skin. Put simply, peels are the holy grail of skincare. They are a terrific beauty investment because they address a multitude of concerns in one go. Roughness and bumps? There’s a peel for that. Fine lines and discoloration? No problem. And while you’re at it, add enlarged pores, congested skin, and acne blemishes to the list.

The Minimalist Approach to Skincare in Vancouver

As a skincare specialist in Vancouver, Dr. Roz Kamani works with men and women interested in powerful skincare. While skincare is often seen as an elaborate, multi-step process, sometimes paring it down to the basics is best. For those who want to Marie Kondo their skincare routine, here’s what to do.

First, it’s vital to audit your stash. More isn’t always better when it comes to skincare. On the contrary, using too many products can cancel out beneficial effects and irritate the skin. Like just about anything in life, it’s necessary to discover what works for you. We recommend SkinCeuticals products, which is a clinically proven (and reasonably priced) line of products that works to correct signs of ageing, promote healthy skin, and prevent future damage. We’ve categorized this by popular skin type, so check out our recommendations for you.
