How To Help Skin Dryness During Winter With Winter Skincare Treatments

Winter can be harsh on our skin. The cold air, central heating, and reduced humidity all contribute to dry, flaky skin and dullness. 

Tackling dry skin during winter can be an ongoing issue, and moisturiser might not be enough. This is where our winter skincare treatments come in to support your skin barrier and prepare your skin for the colder months ahead.

Why Is Our Skin Dry In Winter?

The colder outdoor temperatures combined with low humidity and cold winds reduce moisture in the air during the winter months. This can leave your skin feeling tighter and drier. 

Most of us also put on the central heating in our homes during the winter months, which strips our skin of moisture, making it feel rougher and appear duller. 

Why Vitamin D Is Important For Our Skin

During the shorter days of winter, we are exposed to less sunlight; therefore, our body produces less vitamin D. Focusing on nutrition or taking supplements can help your body meet its vitamin D requirements during this period.

Vitamin D is important for the skin as it helps reduce inflammation, keeps a healthy skin barrier, and promotes skin repair.

Our Recommended Skincare Treatments For Winter 

Skinboosters For Radiance 

Skin boosters are injectable treatments that can be done ahead of winter to replenish moisture in the skin and strengthen your natural skin barrier. 

These boosters use hyaluronic acid to boost your skin’s moisture and enhance elasticity without any fillers needed. 

Skin boosters are best suited for anyone who wants to restore their skin from the inside out after summer and get a healthier, natural glow before winter. 

Hannah London offers a variety of skin boosters suited to your needs, such as Profhilo, Polynucleotides, and Jalupro. 

Microneedling To Renew Skin 

Microneedling is an ideal winter skincare treatment to do during autumn since there is reduced sun exposure, allowing your skin to recover without the risk of hyperpigmentation.

The needling process helps stimulate collagen production to repair the skin barrier, reduce fine lines, and improve the overall radiance and texture of your skin.

We offer microneedling sessions at our clinics in London such as Dermapen and Potenza, to help rejuvenate your skin over the winter.

Hydrafacials For a Winter Glow 

Hydrafacials are a perfect non-invasive winter skincare treatment that cleanses, extracts impurities, and infuses hydration for a winter glow. 

These facials are suitable for anyone, even those with acne-prone skin, and provide an instant glow, perfect for a festive event.

Winter Skincare Tips 

Professional skincare treatments can help protect your skin’s moisture ahead of winter, but a consistent skincare routine at home will help you maintain it. 

We recommend the following skincare tips during winter –

• Apply an SPF to protect from UV. 
• Use an exfoliant once a week to remove dead skin cells and allow serums to penetrate the skin more effectively.
• Stay hydrated to keep skin healthy and plump. 
• Add serums to support hydration. 
• Use a rich moisturiser day and night to lock in moisture. 
• Limit hot water usage since it can dry out skin.
• Use a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air.
• Neck gaiters are helpful to protect against wind burn.
• Choose creams instead of lotions for richer moisture.

Why Start Your Skincare Treatments In Autumn 

Investing in winter skincare treatments during the months of October and November can ensure your skin is hydrated and radiant before the colder weather begins. 

Some of our treatments, like microneedling and skin boosters, are actually recommended due to their being lower UV, allowing your skin to heal better. 

By planning ahead, you are proactively ensuring your skin stays healthy throughout the winter rather than reacting to cold weather and trying to fix dry skin.
