High-Altitude Hydration: How to Protect Your Skin This Winter in Denver
Winter in Denver is beautiful but brutal on your skin. At 5,280 feet, low humidity, cold air, and indoor heating create the perfect storm for barrier damage, dehydration, and dullness. At The Skin Sanctum, we approach cold-weather skin through science-backed repair, clinical treatments, and simple rituals to restore your glow.
Why High-Altitude Winters Wreck the Skin Barrier
At elevation, there’s less oxygen, thinner air, and rapid moisture loss. Combine that with central heat, wind, and UV reflection from snow, and even resilient skin becomes parched.
Symptoms often include:
Flakiness or tightness after cleansing
Cracked lips or sensitized cheeks
Heightened redness or reactive breakouts
Worsening of eczema or acne flare-ups
Treatment Suggestions
60min facial with Nano Infusion add on: A 60-minute treatment using hyaluronic acid, peptides, and LED light while finishing with nano infusion therapy to replenish deep hydration.
Glacial Gloss or Glacial Glide: Combines cryo-modulation and antioxidant serums to soothe inflammation while sealing in moisture.
DMK Enzyme Therapy: Oxygenates and flushes the lymphatic system, ideal for restoring circulation in winter-dull skin.
