Winter is the season to repair, restore, and renew your skin.
In this post, Tracy shares why the cooler months are the ideal time for deeper treatments, what changes to expect in your skin, and how to support it at home and in clinic. From nourishing skincare tips to results-focused treatments like microneedling, IPL, and infusion therapy, this guide will help you reset your skin and glow into spring.
As winter settles in, many of us begin to feel the changes in our skin. That post shower tightness, the creeping dullness, and the dry patches that just weren’t there a few weeks ago may be starting to show.
The cooler, drier air, increased time indoors, and constant exposure to heaters all take their toll. Our skin becomes more dehydrated, the barrier weakens, and things like flakiness, sensitivity, and fine lines become more visible. On top of that, the skin often holds onto the effects of summer such as pigmentation, rough texture, and uneven tone.
But here’s the beautiful part. Winter is one of the best times to treat your skin. With less sun exposure, less inflammation, and more time to heal, this season offers the perfect opportunity to restore what has been lost and prepare your skin for the months ahead.
Why Your Skin Changes in Winter
In winter, the skin produces less oil. The drop in humidity means moisture evaporates more easily which leaves the skin feeling dry, tight, or rough. You might also notice that your regular skincare just doesn’t feel like it’s doing enough. Hydration levels drop, cell turnover slows, and without added support the skin can start to look tired and flat.
For some people, existing conditions like eczema or sensitivity can flare up. For others, congestion or breakouts increase as the skin tries to find balance. The answer is not to overdo it but to support the skin in a deeper, more nourishing way.
How to Support Your Skin at Home and in Clinic
Winter is the time to gently shift your skincare routine. This could mean adding a hydrating serum or switching to a richer moisturiser. Some of our favourites include Aspect Dr Resveratrol Moisturising Cream and Cosmedix Surge or Aspect Dr Hyaluronic Serum. These products support the skin barrier and help bind moisture back into the skin where it is needed most.
Here are some simple tips to support your skin at home:
- Layer your skincare. Start with a hydrating serum, then apply your moisturiser and finish with a nourishing oil if needed
- Use a humidifier if you have one, especially in rooms with heating
- Always apply SPF. Even in winter, UVA rays are present and can contribute to pigmentation and premature aging. We love Aspect Sun Hydrating Face SPF 50
- Gently exfoliate once or twice a week. Enzyme-based products like Cosmedix Pure Enzymes are a beautiful way to brighten the skin without irritation
- Drink plenty of water and eat healthy fats to support your skin from within
Of course, nothing compares to professional treatments when it comes to making real, visible changes. In winter, we recommend deeper treatments that help stimulate collagen, smooth texture, and fade pigmentation.
Advanced Skin Treatments for Winter
This season we are focusing on some of our most results-driven treatments. These include:
Dermapen Microneedling
A treatment that encourages collagen production, reduces pigmentation, and strengthens the skin barrier over time. Perfect for scarring, aging, and texture concerns.
IPL Skin Rejuvenation
A light-based treatment that fades pigmentation, reduces redness, and rejuvenates dull or sun-damaged skin. Winter is the safest and most effective time for this treatment.
DermaFrac Infusion Therapy
Combines microneedling with deep serum infusion to treat dehydration, fine lines, and uneven tone in one relaxing treatment.
LuminFusion
A resurfacing and renewing facial that targets dullness, texture, and early signs of aging. It leaves the skin looking luminous and feeling silky smooth.
Each treatment is supported with professional products from Cosmedix Elite, Aspect Dr, and Environ. We create custom treatment plans tailored to your skin’s needs and the results you are seeking.
Invest in Your Skin This Winter
Winter gives us a quieter space to focus on self care. With less sun, fewer social events, and more time indoors, it becomes the perfect time to treat the skin more deeply and intentionally. Whether you are looking to reduce pigmentation, strengthen the skin barrier, or simply feel more confident in your own skin, now is the ideal season to start.
Let us guide you with a personalised plan. Together we can create long-term change using a blend of high performance treatments and mindful skincare.
Let winter be the season your skin truly begins to thrive.
