Your Winter Skin Survival Guide

Your Winter Skin Survival Guide

With winter in full swing, temperature drops and indoor heating can quickly take a toll on our skin. Understanding how this seasonal shift affects your complexion and adapting a routine accordingly, is the key to maintaining radiant, healthy skin all year round.


To help guide you through the colder months, we’ve collated everything you need to know about winter skincare.

 


 

The Cold Truth: How Winter Affects Your Skin

Simply put, winter conditions make it harder for our skin to retain the moisture it needs. This is a result of cooler air holding less humidity, which naturally dries out the skin. Indoor heating systems further deplete moisture, and harsh winds can physically damage your skin’s protective barrier. Combined, these factors leave your skin more prone to dehydration, irritation, and signs of ageing. You may begin to notice:

  • Flaky and rough texture 
  • Dull complexion 
  • Increased redness or inflammation 
  • Tightness and discomfort 
  • More pronounced fine lines 
  • Uneven tones
  • Unexpected breakouts

 


 

Treatments That Make a Difference

At The Aesthetic Edit, we focus on treatments that strengthen the skin barrier, restore lost hydration, and support long-term skin health. Here are our top in-clinic treatments that will enhance your complexion through the colder months:

 

TAE Signature Facial
This gentle, enzyme-based Facial is perfect for skin that feels dry and sensitive. The treatment involves cleansing and exfoliation to lift away dull surface cells, combined with a sculpting lymphatic drainage massage to boost circulation and reduce puffiness. A tailored treatment masque finishes the experience to restore hydration when your skin needs it most.

 


 

Herbal Aktiv Peels
Winter often slows down cell turnover, causing skin to lose its natural radiance. Our Herbal Aktiv Peels work with your skin, not against it. Using medicinal-grade herbs, the peel gently rejuvenates your skin and brightens dull complexions. The Beauty Peel is ideal for a quick radiance boost, while the Phyto Peel offers a more intensive reset for pigmentation and textural concerns that often surface in cooler months.

 

LaseMD
With reduced sun exposure during winter, we highly recommend LaseMD. This ablative laser targets pigmentation, uneven texture, and early signs of ageing, all while stimulating collagen from deep within. With minimal downtime and impressive results, it’s one of our favourite way’s to maintain clarity and glow this season.

 

 

Ultraformer MPT
Winter conditions can weaken the very structure of your skin, disrupting the balance of collagen and elastin. Ultraformer MPT helps restore structure from within, using focused ultrasound energy. This treatment lifts, tightens, and stimulates long-term collagen production, making it a great option to support your skin’s strength and enhance facial definition.

 

Moisturisers and Serums
In addition to professional treatments, it is essential to use the right skincare products at home to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Moisturisers and serums are particularly important as they help to lock in moisture and provide a barrier against the temperature shifts. Some of our favourite cold-weather-fighting products are:
