COMMACK, N.Y., April 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- After this winter's freezing temperatures and heavy winds, many Long Islanders are complaining about dry, flaky skin and blotchiness. Particularly with prom and bridal season upon us, spring is the ideal time to rejuvenate that dull complexion and unveil a more youthful radiance. While a new face cream may help, Massage Envy Spa experts recommend professional facial treatments for a healthy, rosy glow.

"After the bitter-cold winter we've had, custom facials are ideal for treating weathered skin," states April Kern, Regional Developer for Massage Envy Spas located in Long Island, NYC, Brooklyn and Queens. "It's important to realize that facials are not 'one size fits all' and different skin types must be cared for in specific ways."

To determine which type of facial is best for your skin, Kern recommends the following:

Schedule an appointment for a facial with a professional, licensed esthetician
Discuss your skincare concerns before your treatment
Ask the esthetician for a skin analysis
Schedule regular facials for cumulative benefits

To ensure healthy skin between appointments, Kern offers these tips:

Stay hydrated
Keep your hands away from your face
Avoid over-scrubbing, over-cleaning or over-treating skin
Always wash your face before bedtime
Replace heavy foundations and moisturizers with lighter formulas containing a higher SPF

Between seeking professional assistance and adopting some new skincare tips, the ravages of winter on facial skin can be effectively remedied.
