Your Christine Valmy Skin Care Guide for November in New York

By Tim Pearson | Prism and Shear Grooming Atelier, Riverdale Bronx NY

November in New York is tough on skin. Cold air outside, heat blasting inside, wind, dryness, and sudden temperature shifts can all lead to tightness, irritation, breakouts, and dullness. This is when your routine needs more balance, more barrier support, and products that help your skin stay comfortable all day.

Every product listed here is something I use during your service. When your appointment is complete, you can save 20 percent on your at home care to help maintain your results through the colder months.

Dry, Dehydrated, or Sensitive Skin

If your skin feels tight after cleansing, flakes around the nose, burns in the wind, or looks dull under makeup, these formulas help restore comfort and softness.

Valcreme Concentrated Cleansing Cream

A gentle cleansing cream that keeps the skin comfortable while removing impurities. If your skin feels stripped after washing, Valcreme protects the barrier and calms irritation.

Also suitable for all skin types that feel tight in cold weather.

Cellular Mask Super Hydrating Mask

A deeply hydrating mask that restores moisture and brightness. Bee pollen, royal jelly, chamomile, and linden replenish the skin when cold air or indoor heat causes dryness.

Also suitable for all skin types that experience dehydration in winter.

Ecran Daytime Protection and Moisturizing Lotion

Ecran helps prevent the tight, uncomfortable feeling that often shows up in November. It protects the skin from cold air, indoor heat, and environmental stress while keeping moisture in.

Embryoval AHA Nighttime Moisturizing Lotion

Embryoval softens and hydrates dry or tired skin while you sleep. If your skin looks dull or feels rough in winter, this lotion gently smooths and nourishes without irritation.

Oily, Combination, or Breakout Prone Skin

Cold weather can make oily skin harder to manage. The surface becomes drier while pores stay congested. If you see more blackheads, shine, or irritation, these products help bring things back into balance.

Valcleanse Oily Skin Cleansing Cream

A purifying cleanser that removes buildup without drying the surface. Winter can create flakes while oil stays trapped underneath. Valcleanse clears debris while supporting the barrier.

Valeen Mild Astringent

A gentle astringent that removes residue and helps manage oil in the T zone. It keeps the skin balanced, fresh, and more comfortable throughout the day.

Pore Soothing Mask Pore Minimizing and Calming

This mask gives a refined, matte finish without harsh drying. I use it for clients who want clearer pores or smoother texture during colder months.

Special Lotion 22 Daytime Protection and Moisturizing Lotion

A lightweight daytime moisturizer that hydrates without shine. It helps prevent makeup from clogging the skin and offers protection against blue light.

Special Creme 11 Conditioning Night Cream

Winter can cause more breakouts because oil gets trapped under dry surface skin. Special Creme 11 keeps pores clear overnight while calming redness and irritation.

All Skin Types

These products work well for everyone. If you want simple additions that support your routine during colder months, start here.

5.5 pH Toner Nighttime Toner

This toner restores balance after cleansing and supports nighttime repair. Cold weather can disrupt your skin’s natural pH and this formula helps keep things steady.

Cell Refresh Hydrating AHA Exfoliation Lotion

Winter increases buildup around the nose, chin, and forehead. Cell Refresh gently smooths texture and brightens dull winter tone without irritation.

Take Your Treatment Home

You can continue the same routine I use in the studio with your at home care. After your service is complete, you can save 20 percent on all retail products to help your skin stay balanced through the coldest months of the year.
