How to Get Radiant Skin for Ski Season
With Hydrafacial, MOXI, and More

There’s an exciting energy in the air when winter arrives in Colorado. The mountains turn white, the weekends book up with trips to Vail and Breckenridge, and the social calendar shifts from patio happy hours to fireside après-ski. It’s undeniably the most magical time of year here. But while your spirit might be soaring on the slopes, your complexion is often fighting a losing battle against the elements.

Between the biting wind, the dry cabin heat, and the intense UV reflection off the snow, ski season is practically designed to sap the life out of your face. It’s not uncommon to look in the mirror after a weekend away and see dullness, dehydration, and windburn staring back. But you don't have to choose between your black diamond runs and beautiful skin.

At Rejuvenate MedSpa, we believe your skin should look as fresh as the powder you’re skiing on. We’ve put together a lineup of non-surgical procedures specifically made to combat the high-altitude harshness. From the deep hydration of a Hydrafacial treatment to the restorative power of MOXI, here’s how to maintain a youthful appearance and keep your skin glowing all season long.

The High-Altitude Challenge

Living a mile (or two) above sea level comes with a unique set of challenges. The air is thin, the sun is strong, and the humidity is non-existent. This all leads to accelerated aging and skin concerns like flaking, redness, and a rough texture. When you add the physical barrier of goggles and scarves, you also create a breeding ground for bacteria and friction.

To maintain healthy skin, you need a strategy that protects, repairs, and revitalizes without a crazy amount of downtime. This is where non-surgical treatments shine. Unlike surgical interventions that involve cutting and long recoveries, these high-tech therapies offer dramatic results that fit perfectly into an active winter lifestyle.

Hydrafacial

The Ultimate Winter Reset

If there’s one treatment that acts as a reset button for winter-weary skin, it’s the Hydrafacial. Often referred to as "hydradermabrasion," this is a medical-grade device that cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses the skin with intensive serums simultaneously.

Deep Clean and Hydrate

The magic of a Hydrafacial lies in its patented Vortex-Fusion delivery system. It gently vacuums out dead skin cells and debris from your pores, a process called extraction, while pushing active ingredients into the skin. For many clients, the immediate gratification of seeing what was removed from their pores is oddly satisfying, but the real benefit is the infusion.

During the winter, your skin barrier is often compromised. A Hydrafacial treatment saturates the skin with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a powerhouse ingredient that holds 1,000 times its weight in water, helping your skin look plump, hydrated, and dewy even when the humidity drops to single digits.

Customization for Every Skier

Another reason Hydrafacial is a market leader is its versatility. We can tailor the boosters to address your specific skin concerns. No matter what you’re dealing with, from fine lines, wrinkles, or brown spots from sun exposure, we can adjust the serum blend.

Because it offers gentle exfoliation without irritation, a Hydrafacial treatment is safe for all skin types. You walk out with brighter, cleaner skin immediately. There’s absolutely no downtime, meaning you can head straight to lunch or back to the slopes (with sunscreen, of course). It’s the perfect maintenance step to keep your skin tone even and your texture smooth throughout the season.

MOXI

While a Hydrafacial handles the surface, sometimes you need to go a little deeper to correct the summer damage you’re still carrying or the fresh pigment from the winter sun. Enter MOXI, a gentle fractionated laser that’s become a favorite among our patients.

MOXI is often referred to as a "prejuvenation" treatment because it’s excellent at preventing aging skin before it becomes a major issue. However, it’s equally effective at correcting existing sun damage and pigmentation.

Why MOXI Loves Winter

Winter is actually the ideal time for laser treatments. Since you’re generally covered up and spending less time sunbathing, the risk of post-procedure sunburn is lower. MOXI uses non-ablative laser energy to create micro-coagulation zones in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen production and replacing damaged cells with fresh, new ones.

MOXI is incredibly gentle, unlike more aggressive surgical lasers that might require a week of hiding away. It targets water within the cells, meaning it works beautifully on all skin types, from very fair to deep complexions. This is a significant difference compared to many older lasers on the market.

What to Expect

The procedure is quick, often taking less than 30 minutes for a full face. You might feel a prickly heat sensation, but discomfort is minimal. Post-treatment, you can expect some redness and a feeling similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours.

Over the next few days, your skin will feel like sandpaper as the microscopic dead skin cells slough off. This is the moxi magic working. Once that rough layer clears, you reveal fresh, radiant skin underneath. It’s fantastic for improving skin tone, reducing pigment, and smoothing out rough texture. Whether you do just one treatment for a quick refresh or a series for more dramatic results, MOXI delivers a glowing complexion that looks great in high-definition snow photos.

Injectables: Restoring Volume and Softness

High altitude doesn't just dry you out; it can make you look deflated. Cold air and dehydration often make wrinkles and fine lines appear more pronounced. Plus, constant squinting against the snow glare creates dynamic lines around the eyes and forehead. This is where injectables become your best friend.

Neuromodulators for Snow Glare

Squinting is a reflex, but over time, it etches deep lines into the skin. Neurotoxins like Botox or Dysport relax the muscles responsible for these movements. By softening the muscle activity, we smooth out the overlying skin, giving you a rested, youthful appearance. It’s a subtle tweak that makes a huge difference in how refreshed you look after a long weekend on the mountain.

Filler for Hydration and Structure

Wind and cold can leave your lips and cheeks looking parched and flat. Dermal fillers do more than just add volume; many are formulated with hyaluronic acid, which attracts moisture to the area. A subtle lip enhancement can restore hydration to chapped, thinned-out lips, protecting them from the elements while looking fabulous. Similarly, adding a little volume to the cheeks can lift the face and restore the healthy contour that winter often steals.

Many clients find that a combination of injectables and skin treatments provides the most comprehensive winter defense. These non surgical cosmetic procedures offer immediate satisfaction with virtually no recovery time, fitting perfectly into a busy holiday schedule.

Your Body Needs Love Too

It’s easy to focus solely on the face and forget that the body suffers beneath all those layers of wool and thermal gear. But the skin on your neck, chest, and hands faces the same risks of aging and dryness as your face.

MOXI and Hydrafacial aren’t limited to facial treatments; they’re incredibly versatile. We use them on the neck, décolletage, and hands to keep skin tone and texture uniform from head to toe. Winter also happens to be the perfect season for laser hair removal. Treating unwanted hair while your skin is untanned is both safer and more effective, ensuring you’re smooth and ready by the time spring break arrives.

Maintaining the Glow at Home

While professional non surgical procedures do the heavy lifting, your home routine maintains the results. Winter requires a shift in products. You want to focus on barrier repair and intense hydration.

  • Sunscreen is Non-Negotiable: Snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays. You’re getting hit from above and below. Wear a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day to prevent sun damage and hyperpigmentation.
  • Layer Your Hydration: Just like you layer clothes for skiing, layer your skincare. Start with a hydrating serum (think hyaluronic acid), follow with a rich moisturizer, and consider a facial oil to seal it all in.
  • Don’t Forget the Lips: Keep a nourishing balm with SPF in your jacket pocket. The skin on the lips is thin and prone to cracking in the wind.
