Your Skincare May Be Making Colorado Dryness Worse—Here’s Why

Colorado’s high altitude, relentless UV exposure, dry air, and harsh winters can take a serious toll on your skin—but does that mean premature aging and sun damage are simply unavoidable?

John Rush talks with Anne Mattingly Lowe of Generations Skincare about the science behind protecting and hydrating skin in Colorado’s uniquely challenging climate. Discover why vitamin C, niacinamide, lactic acid, and different forms of hyaluronic acid matter—and why one common skincare ingredient could actually leave dry skin feeling even drier when used incorrectly.

What makes skincare formulated specifically for Colorado different? And what simple changes—from mineral sunscreen and humidifiers to deeper hydration—could help your skin look and feel healthier?

It’s a fascinating look at skin health, sun damage, hydration, healthy aging, and Colorado-made skincare—with practical advice for anyone tired of feeling dried out by the Rocky Mountain climate.
