Tips for Keeping Your Skin Hydrated During Dry Colorado Summers


1. Drink Plenty of Water: Staying hydrated from the inside out is key for healthy skin during dry summer months. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day to keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins. Avoid excessive caffeine or alcohol intake as they can dehydrate the skin.

2. Avoid Long Hot Showers: Taking hot showers can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it feeling dry and tight. Try taking shorter, lukewarm showers instead and opt for a moisturizing body wash to help lock in moisture.

3. Use Sun Protection: Wearing sunscreen is important all year round, but especially during the summer months when the sun is at its strongest. Choose a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and keep it hydrated even on sunny days. Don't forget to reapply every two hours if you're spending an extended amount of time outdoors.

4. Moisturize Regularly: Using a quality facial moisturizer and body lotion regularly can help prevent dryness and maintain hydration throughout the day. Opt for lightweight, oil-free formulas that won't clog pores but still provide ample hydration. Look for products that contain hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which attract water molecules to the skin and help lock in moisture.The Osea line offers hydrating oils and creams using natural ingredients that are gentle on your skin.

5. Use a Humidifier: Keeping your home environment humidified can make a big difference in how your skin feels during dry Colorado summers are notorious for their dry and arid climate, which can wreak havoc on our skin. Investing in a humidifier for your home is another effective way to combat dryness caused by central heating or air conditioning systems. By adding moisture back into the air, you'll create a more balanced environment that helps prevent excessive evaporation of water from your skin.

By following these tips consistently throughout summer, you can maintain optimal hydration levels in your skin.

Different Types of Facial Treatments

There are several different types of facial treatments for hydration as well as other skincare concerns (anti-aging, acne, tightening, brightening, etc.). Each treatment offers unique benefits. Here are some popular types of facial treatments to consider:


1. Facial Cleansing: Facial cleansing is the most basic type of facial treatment and helps to remove dirt, oil, and other impurities from the skin. This can be done with a gentle cleanser or a more intense exfoliant.

2. Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is a deeper type of exfoliation that uses tiny crystals to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal smoother and more radiant-looking skin. It can help with reducing the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, uneven texture, and dullness.

3. Chemical Peels: Chemical peels use acid solutions to dissolve away the outer layers of dead or aging skin cells, revealing new and healthy skin underneath. They are available in various strengths depending on your needs. This treatment can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation.

4. Anti-Aging Treatments: Anti-aging treatments can help reduce wrinkles, tighten loose skin, and even out discolorations such as sun spots or age spots. These treatments often include ingredients like Vitamin C or retinol for best results.

5. Acne Treatments: Acne treatments are designed to target breakouts by unclogging pores and reducing inflammation. Some common ingredients used in acne treatments include salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur

4. LED Therapy: Light Emitting Diode (LED) therapy uses different wavelengths of light to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, kill bacteria causing acne breakouts, and promote healing in the skin.

5. Oxygen Facial: Also known as "Hollywood's secret weapon," an oxygen facial delivers highly concentrated oxygen molecules directly into the epidermis using a machine or spray gun. Increasing oxygen levels in your face can boost blood flow which promotes collagen production

1. HydraFacial: This innovative treatment uses a multi-step process to cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and hydrate the skin. It is suitable for all skin types and can address issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and congested pores.

Remember that it's essential to consult with a skincare professional before deciding on any facial treatment option. The Mooi Studio team is here to listen to your concerns and recommend a treatment that works best for your skincare needs. One of our favorite treatments is the HydraFacial.

What is a HydraFacial?

What is a HydraFacial? You may have heard the term floating around in the world of skincare, but what exactly does it entail? 

A HydraFacial is a non-invasive facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection all in one. It uses a unique device that delivers serums deep into the skin while simultaneously suctioning away impurities and dead skin cells. The process is painless and takes only about 30 minutes to an hour.

This innovative treatment is suitable for all skin types and addresses various skincare concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation, dryness or dullness. Unlike traditional facials which can sometimes cause redness or irritation afterward, a HydraFacial leaves your skin looking instantly refreshed and glowing.

In comparison to other types of facials on the market today, a HydraFacial stands out due to its versatility and effectiveness. While some facials may focus solely on exfoliation or purification without providing adequate hydration - this treatment covers all bases by addressing multiple concerns at once. Watch our videos to learn how the HydraFacial works.

HydraFacial Benefits

If you are dealing with stubborn skin issues like acne, dryness, or dullness, a HydraFacial will rejuvenate and restore your skin's natural glow! 

One of the key benefits of a HydraFacial is its ability to deeply hydrate the skin. The treatment utilizes specialized serums that infuse moisture into the skin, leaving it plump and radiant. This makes it an excellent choice for those with dry or dehydrated skin during the summer months.

In addition to hydration, a HydraFacial can also improve the overall texture and tone of your complexion. By exfoliating dead cells and unclogging pores, it helps reveal smoother and brighter-looking skin. It can even reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a youthful glow.

Unlike some other facials that may cause redness or irritation, a HydraFacial is gentle enough for all skin types – even sensitive ones! It doesn't involve harsh chemicals or abrasive techniques that could potentially damage delicate skin. This makes it a safe option for anyone looking to achieve healthier-looking skin without any downtime.

The benefits of a HydraFacial are numerous – from deep hydration to improved texture and tone. With its ability to address multiple skincare concerns in one session without causing any discomfort or downtime afterward, it's no wonder why so many people swear by this facial treatment!

Remember: For best results with any facial treatment including HyrdaFacials make sure you consult with an experienced esthetician who can tailor treatments specifically to your unique skincare needs.

HydraFacial vs. Other Types of Facials

When it comes to facials, there are plenty of options out there. From traditional facials to microdermabrasion, the choices can be overwhelming. However, one type of facial that has been gaining popularity in recent years is the HydraFacial.

So, what sets a HydraFacial apart from other types of facials? Well, for starters, it is a multi-step treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection all in one session. This means you get multiple benefits with just one treatment! Your skin will be radiant at the end of the treatment. You might have slight redness for about 30 minutes after treatment but you can put on makeup and return to your normal activities right away. There is no downtime.

Unlike some other facials that can leave your skin feeling red and irritated afterwards, a HydraFacial is gentle yet effective. It uses water-based suction technology to remove impurities without causing any discomfort or downtime. Plus, the hydrating serums used during the treatment help nourish and replenish your skin.

A specific question that is often asked is the difference between a HydraFacial and a microdermabrasion treatment? While both treatments exfoliate, the HydraFacial is a more lenient process on the skin. The HydraFacial is a four-step process that cleanses, extracts, exfoliates, and hydrates. Like microdermabrasion, HydraFacial targets dead skin cells, fine lines, and wrinkles but also delivers hydration.

Another advantage of a HydraFacial is its versatility. Whether you have oily skin prone to breakouts or dry skin in need of hydration, this facial can be tailored to suit your specific needs. The customizable nature of a HydraFacial makes it suitable for all skin types - even those with sensitive skin!

Compared to other types of facials like chemical peels or laser treatments which may require several sessions before results are noticeable; with a HydraFacial you can see instant improvements in texture and tone after just one session! And since it's non-invasive and quick (usually around 30 minutes), you can easily fit it into your busy schedule.

While there are many different types of facials available on the market today; if you're looking for an effective yet gentle treatment that provides instant results and suits all skin types - then a HydraFacial might just be the perfect choice for you!
