We can all relate to the “winter is coming” feeling when we start to notice the dryness and crepiness appearing on our hands, face, lips, and skin. Or perhaps you notice brown spots from sun damage have accumulated after the fun summer days. Our point: dry, crepey, or sun-damaged winter skin is not a discomfort you have to live with! Radiance Medical Aesthetics and Wellness Spa in Williston, VT specifically during the winter, to heal the skin, prolong its health, and slow down the aging process. We all want to make the most of the wintertime with skiing, winter sports, kids’ outdoor activities, and holiday gatherings with loved ones, so let’s make the most out of it for our skin health, too!
For Aging Better: An Effective Skin Clean-Up of Brown Spots & Sun Damage
BBL BroadBand Light
- A non-invasive treatment that delivers light energy to the skin and targets red and brown pigmentation.
- You can treat the face, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, legs, hands, and back.
- No numbing is required, with minimal downtime.
The number of treatments will vary from person to person, but most people will require at least 2-4 treatments. These can be done every 4 weeks. - You must have absolutely no sun exposure for 4-6 weeks before BBL treatment, which makes it an ideal treatment to have in fall, winter, and spring.
- The brown pigment will initially darken and rise to the surface of the skin, eventually sloughing off, revealing clear, youthful, and healthier-looking skin.
- Red pigmentation (i.e., rosacea or red patches) can also be treated and is slowly resorbed over the course of 7-10 days.
Before & After
Quick and Easy Winter Skin Boost
Chemical Peels
- Chemical peels can be done regardless of season or sun exposure.
- Peels can range from mild to deep concentrations.
- The acids in chemical peels break down bonds that hold dead skin cells together, which leaves skin fresher and healthier.
- Visible skin luminosity can be seen after just one treatment.
- You can expect dryness/flaking to mild peeling, depending on the strength of the peel.

Sunscreen
Every Day, Even In The Winter!
- UV rays and visible light from artificial light are present year-round and can damage skin even on cloudy or cold days.
- It is also important to reduce your risk of skin cancer even when the sun doesn’t seem strong.
- Snow can reflect 80% of the sun’s rays, which increases our exposure to UV radiation. Whether skiing or sledding, your skin is still at risk of being burned or damaged.
- Many age-related skin concerns, like wrinkles and brown spots, can be prevented with consistent and frequent use of sunscreen.
- Using sunscreen daily, even in winter, is a small step that has big benefits for your skin in the long term!
Doctor Parker’s Orders!
- Physical-Only SPF (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) is a non-negotiable when it comes to your skin regimen.
- If you’re looking for a variety of sunscreen options that are Dr. Parker-approved and fit into your daily winter skincare routine and lifestyle, check out Skinbetter Science. They have everything from sunscreen sticks to compacts, tinted, and more.
- Skinbetter Science SPFs provide an easy application for adults and kids when you’re traveling on the go or doing winter activities.
Moisturizer
A Vital Protectant For Vermonters’ Winter Skin!
Dry and harsh winter air can cause long-term damage to your skin.
- Using a moisturizer, especially when outdoors, helps protect your skin’s natural protective barrier.
- Dry and compromised skin leads to faster development of damaged and age-related concerns such as fine lines, uneven complexion, and texture. This can also worsen certain skin conditions, such as rosacea and eczema.
- If your skin is easily irritated or inflamed, wearing a moisturizer can help prevent and reduce redness and aggravated skin caused by the cold.
- Even in winter, the combination of moisturizer with a physical-only sunscreen can create an optimal skin defense against cold weather and UV rays.
