Living in Colorado comes with stunning mountain views, fresh air, and endless outdoor adventures—but it also means dry, high-altitude conditions that can wreak havoc on your skin. The thin, arid air and intense sun exposure in Denver make it crucial to use medical-grade skincare that protects, hydrates, and repairs.
At BLU Medical Aesthetics, we specialize in helping our clients achieve and maintain radiant, healthy skin—no matter the season. Here’s our list of skincare must-haves tailored for Denver’s unique climate.
With 300+ days of sunshine in Colorado, daily broad-spectrum SPF is non-negotiable. The high elevation means UV rays are more intense, increasing the risk of premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and skin cancer.
🔹 Our Top Pick: EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 – Lightweight, non-comedogenic, and perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
💡 Pro Tip: Reapply SPF every 2 hours, especially if you’re skiing, hiking, or spending extended time outdoors.
Denver’s low humidity levels strip moisture from your skin, leading to flakiness, dullness, and fine lines. A hyaluronic acid-based serum helps lock in hydration for a plumper, dewier complexion.
🔹 Our Top Pick: Hydrinity Restorative HA– Infused with 5 strains of hyaluronic acid and and even filler grade HA for deep, long-lasting hydration.
💡 Pro Tip: Apply your serum to slightly damp skin to maximize absorption and hydration.
Colorado’s harsh winter winds and summer heat can weaken your skin barrier, making it more prone to redness, irritation, and premature aging. A ceramide-rich, nourishing moisturizer is key to keeping your skin resilient and healthy.
🔹 Our Top Pick: Skinbetter Trio Rebalancing Moisture – Supports skin barrier repair and balancing and is ideal for post-treatment healing.
💡 Pro Tip: Layer your moisturizer over a hydrating serum to seal in moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss.
Sun exposure, pollution, and high-altitude conditions contribute to oxidative stress, accelerating collagen breakdown and fine lines. A potent vitamin C serum protects against free radical damage while brightening the skin.
🔹 Our Top Pick: IS Clinical Pro-Heal Advanced Serum – A powerhouse antioxidant blend of vitamin C, vitamin E, and Vitamin A to combat premature aging, soothing, and protecting the skin.
💡 Pro Tip: Apply in the morning under SPF for maximum sun protection and skin repair.
Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, acne, or uneven texture, retinol is a must-have for boosting cell turnover and collagen production.
🔹 Our Top Pick: Skinbetter Alpharet Overnight – A gentle yet effective medical-grade retinol that smooths, firms, and renews.
💡 Pro Tip: Start slow—use 2-3 times per week at night, and always pair it with SPF during the day.
Dead skin accumulates faster in dry climates, making your complexion look dull and congested. A gentle chemical exfoliant helps reveal brighter, smoother skin.
🔹 Our Top Pick: IS Clinical Active Peel System Towelettes – Provides controlled exfoliation to resurface and polish the skin. Improves the appearance of skin tone and texture
💡 Pro Tip: Exfoliate 1-2 times per week to avoid over-stripping your skin.
