Winter is the season for cozy sweaters, hot drinks, and wellness routines to keep you feeling your best. But with so much information out there, it can be hard to separate fact from fiction when it comes to winter health and beauty. Let’s bust some common winter wellness myths so you can stay informed and on top of your game this season.
Myth 1: You Don’t Need Sunscreen in Winter
Truth: The sun’s UV rays don’t take a winter break. In fact, snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays, increasing your exposure. Protect your skin year-round by applying SPF daily, even on cloudy days.
Myth 2: Hydration Isn’t as Important in Winter
Truth: Cold weather can dehydrate your body just as much as heat. Indoor heating and chilly winds can dry out your skin and body. Drink plenty of water and consider treatments like IV therapy to keep your hydration levels optimal.
Myth 3: You Should Skip Skincare Treatments in the Cold
Truth: Winter is actually the perfect time for skincare treatments like laser resurfacing or chemical peels. With less sun exposure, your skin has the chance to heal more effectively, maximizing results.
Myth 4: Exercise is Less Effective in the Winter
Truth: Consistency is key, no matter the season. In fact, working out in the cold can boost calorie burn as your body works harder to maintain its temperature. For extra help achieving your body goals, treatments like Emsculpt NEO can complement your fitness routine year-round.
Myth 5: You Don’t Need to Worry About Detoxing in Winter
Truth: Your body’s detox systems work year-round, but winter can slow lymphatic flow due to inactivity. Treatments like Ballancer Pro or Wood Therapy can help boost lymphatic drainage and reduce bloating for a renewed sense of wellness.
Myth 6: Hair and Skin Don’t Need Extra Care in Winter
Truth: Cold weather and indoor heating can wreak havoc on your skin and hair. Combat dryness with hydrating facials and LED phototherapy to keep your skin glowing and your mood uplifted during the darker months.
