Caring for your skin in the dry Las Vegas desert air
Protect and hydrate your skin against low humidity, summer heat and hard water in the Las Vegas valley.
The Las Vegas valley features very dry air with low humidity much of the year, and summer highs regularly exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, local tap water is very hard due to high mineral content.
These environmental factors can leave skin feeling tight, dry or in need of extra moisture. Establishing a consistent daily routine helps maintain hydration.
Hydration and daily sunscreen protection
In dry desert air, hydrating products and drinking water help. Daily sunscreen application is part of a desert routine to protect your skin.
When booking treatments, be sure to inform your provider about any recent cosmetic procedures, skin conditions or active products like retinoids.
The Desert Hydration Facial for valley skin
The Desert Hydration Facial is designed specifically for skin that feels tight or dry in the valley climate. This 60 minute treatment features layered hydrating serums, a custom mask and a relaxing facial massage.
Facial services at Lantern Day Spa also include cleansing and moisturizer, providing a structured approach to maintaining facial skin health.
Hydrating body wraps and exfoliation
Body treatments offer another way to refresh dry skin. The Hydrating Body Wrap includes dry brushing, a warm hydrating wrap, a scalp massage while you rest, and finishing body lotion. Note that body wraps are not offered during pregnancy.
The Desert Sage Body Scrub uses a sugar scrub for full body exfoliation followed by a warm shower rinse and lotion. Exfoliating body scrubs remove dry surface skin, though skin is more sensitive afterwards.
Important considerations for skin treatments
Because exfoliating body scrubs and waxing increase skin sensitivity, guests should avoid sun exposure and shaving right before or after certain treatments. Your provider will review all precautions during your pre-treatment consultation.
If you have specific skin concerns, allergies or recent procedures, our licensed providers will help adapt or select the most suitable service for your skin type.
