Kansas Estheticians Tackle the State's Harsh Seasonal Extremes
From dry winters to blazing summers, Kansas estheticians say the state's climate demands a season-by-season approach to skincare.
Kansas estheticians say the state's dramatic seasonal swings, from bitterly dry winters to blazing, humid summers, demand a skincare approach that shifts with the calendar.
Winter's low humidity and biting wind can strip moisture from skin, while summer's intense sun and heat bring their own challenges. Professionals recommend adjusting routines seasonally, emphasizing hydration and barrier repair in winter and sun protection year-round.
"What your skin needs in January is not what it needs in July here," one esthetician in Wichita said. Many clients, she added, use the same products all year and wonder why their skin struggles.
Estheticians stress that consistent sun protection is the single most important habit regardless of season, given the state's abundant sunshine and open skies.
