Winter skin and what helps
Winter can leave your skin feeling dry and tight, especially on the face and hands.A good moisturiser and a gentle cleanser make a big difference, and drinking enough water helps too.
Come in for a facial if your skin feels rough or flaky. We can recommend products that suit your skin type and help it cope with the cold months ahead.
Why Skin Feels Tight
When humidity drops, your skin loses water faster than usual and the top layer feels rough and tight by midday. This is not about oil, it is about water, which is why a rich cream alone will not always fix it. Layering a hydrating serum under your moisturiser during a cold snap makes a real difference, since it draws water into the skin before the cream seals it in.
If your skin feels tight within an hour of moisturising, it is telling you it needs more than cream. Try adding a hydrating serum underneath before you reach for something heavier.

Hot
Twice a week, a clay mask can help too, though in winter it is worth switching to a gentler one so it does not leave skin feeling stripped afterwards. Face masks work best on freshly cleansed skin, left on until just before they dry fully, then rinsed off with lukewarm water. Follow straight after with serum and moisturiser while your skin is still slightly damp.
Yes, You Still Need Sunscreen
Cloudy skies do not block the sun's rays completely, and a day outdoors still adds up over winter. Keep a light SPF in your morning routine, even when the air feels cold and the sun seems weak.
Warm Water, Not Hot
Hot water feels good on a cold morning but it breaks down the oils your skin needs. Rinse your face with water that is warm rather than steaming, and save the very hot showers for your hair, not your face.
If your skin still feels dry after trying all of this, it might be time for a proper facial rather than guessing with products at home. Come in and we will look at what your skin actually needs, whether that means a Day Moisturiser swap or something more targeted like a hydrating serum. Winter skin responds quickly once it gets the right care.
