Combating Dryness with Professional Treatments in Scottsdale

Is Your Skin Thirsty?

If your skin feels tight, flaky, dull, or extra sensitive right now, you are not imagining it. Even in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona, winter can quietly impact your moisture barrier. At Joliet Aesthetics MedSpa, we see a big January pattern: dehydrated skin that looks tired, makeup that clings, and fine lines that suddenly feel more obvious.

Quick Answers for Winter Skin in Scottsdale

• The Cause: Arizona winter dries skin fast due to low humidity, wind, and indoor heating.
• The Fix: Hydrating facials, barrier-focused recovery treatments, and advanced hydrodermabrasion style facial technology.
• Home Care: Gentle cleanse, hydrate on damp skin, seal with moisturizer, and daily SPF.

Why Arizona Winter Still Affects Your Skin

Scottsdale winters are mild compared to cold climates, but your skin reacts to the desert environment in its own way.

The Stressors

• Low Humidity: Desert air holds very little moisture, so your skin loses water faster.
• Wind & Swings: Outdoor exposure increases transepidermal water loss.
• Indoor Heating: Heated air worsens redness and flaking.
• Hot Showers: They strip oils that protect your barrier.

The Symptoms

When your barrier is compromised, you see:

• Dryness & Sensitivity
• Redness & Rough Texture
• Breakouts that feel “different”
• Makeup that suddenly looks patchy

Your Winter Skin Routine: Simple & Effective

1. Cleanse Gently: Use a hydrating cleanser, skip harsh scrubs.
2. Hydrate on Damp Skin: Apply serum while skin is damp to lock in water.
3. Seal It In: Follow with a barrier-supportive moisturizer.
4. Don't Skip SPF: Arizona sun is still strong in winter.

Pro Tip

Scale back strong actives if you are irritated. If your skin is stinging or red, pause aggressive exfoliation until your barrier feels normal again. Add a humidifier at night to counteract heating dryness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my skin so dry in January even though it is not freezing in Scottsdale?

Because Arizona winter humidity is low, wind increases, and indoor heating dries the air. Your skin loses water faster, and your barrier can become compromised.

What is the Preime DermaFacial and how is it different from a HydraFacial?

Preime DermaFacial is Joliet Aesthetics’ advanced facial treatment that uses hydrodermabrasion style technology to cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse hydrating serums. It offers similar benefits people look for in branded hydrodermabrasion treatments, but it is not the HydraFacial brand.

How often should I get a facial in winter?

A common rhythm is every 4 weeks. Many clients alternate a Custom Facial with Preime DermaFacial every 4 to 6 weeks.
