Nourish and Protect: Crafting the Perfect Winter Skin Care Routine

Winter is a tough time for skincare. The fluctuating temperatures make your skin feel dry and sensitive, and any time spent outside may cause your skin to turn red and rough. So crafting the perfect winter skin care routine is essential to maintain your confidence and beauty throughout the winter months.

Winter is a time to nourish and protect your skin. The abrupt changes from dry heat indoors to cold air outside result in dry skin. Exposed areas like your cheeks and lips become chapped or red from the dry winter air.

Not to mention, the lack of sunlight prevents your skin from producing as much vitamin D, an essential vitamin for overall skin health.

Your perfect winter skin care routine works to prevent common winter skin care woes. This article explores some skin care essentials for winter weather, including skin care treatments and products to help you deal with dry, red, and sensitive winter skin.

Winter Skin Care Routine

To nourish and protect your skin this winter, consider using a combination of these winter skin care tips, treatments, and products.

Winter Skin Care Tips​

To combat dry, red, sensitive winter skin, focus on four key elements -hydration, moisturization, protection, and exfoliation.

Top 5 skin care tips:

  1. Hydration: Dry skin is a common complaint in wintertime. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and applying hydrating skincare products in the morning and evening. These products might include hyaluronic acid to attract and maintain moisture or plant-based oils like argan or rosehip that hydrate the skin.
  2. Moisturization: If you don’t have one already, you should consider adding a moisturizer to your daily skin care routine. We suggest one that contains SPF so that you can protect and moisturize your skin at the same time.
  3. Protection: Although the sun isn’t as strong in the wintertime, you need to protect your skin from the sun’s harsh rays even in the depths of winter.
    1. If you live in the snowy regions of the US and think that snow will prevent a sunburn, think again. The sun’s rays can reflect off the surface of snow and cause sunburns even on the coldest days.
  4. Exfoliation: Exfoliation is a skin care essential year-round, but is particularly useful to combat rough, dry winter skin. When you exfoliate, you remove the top layer of dead skin cells and stimulate new growth. Exfoliation can keep your skin from getting dull, dry, and red.
  5. Consistency is crucial when it comes to skin care. As winter approaches, establish a routine you can maintain without much effort.

Best Winter Skin Care Treatments

Stadia Med Spa offers several medical-grade skin care treatments to support dry winter skin. The best ones to get rid of red, dry, sensitive skin are Hydrafacial and Skinvive.

Hydrafacial
HydraFacial is one of the best winter skin care treatments at Stadia Med Spa because it exfoliates and hydrates your skin to address dryness and dullness caused by harsh weather. It uses gentle vortex suction to remove dead skin cells and infuses the skin with nourishing serums for a healthy-looking complexion.

The treatment is non-invasive and offers immediate results, making it a quick and effective option for winter skin concerns.

Skinvive
Skinvive by Juvederm is a relatively new dermal filler product specifically designed to hydrate your skin. The injections go directly into the skin to improve texture, volume, and appearance. Skinvive uses hyaluronic acid for long-term hydration, which means your skin will maintain its natural glow throughout winter.


Hydrafacial and Skinvive are both minimally invasive treatments that require little to no downtime. They are easy to add to your winter skin care routine and can make a drastic difference to your skin’s appearance and health.

Best Winter Skin Care Products

Stadia has collected a variety of high-quality skin care products, some of which are perfect for your winter skin care routine.

Skinbetter
Skinbetter Science products are ideal for winter skin care because they are formulated to provide intense hydration and repair the skin’s moisture barrier. They contain nourishing ingredients to combat dryness and protect against environmental stressors. Skinbetter’s products also help prevent and alleviate common winter skin issues, promoting a healthier and more radiant complexion.

Hydrinity Moisturizer
Hydrinity moisturizer has a rich and deeply hydrating formula, which helps combat dryness caused by cold weather. It contains ingredients that lock in moisture and fortify the skin’s natural barrier to prevent water loss. Hydrinity moisturizer offers long-lasting relief and helps maintain a supple and smooth complexion during the winter months.


Both the Skinbetter and Hydrinity moisturizers can support your skin between med spa treatments and make a valuable addition to any winter skin care routine.

How to Take Care of Skin in Winter Naturally

A consistent routine is essential to take care of your skin in winter naturally. You can start by cleansing and moisturizing every day, with hydrating products like Skinbetter or Hydrinity to combat dryness. Layer products to help lock in the moisture.

Consider DIY remedies – like homemade face masks and humidifiers – for extra hydration. Add foods rich in antioxidants to your diet, and prioritize self-care, stress management, and sleep. Protect your skin from the cold with appropriate clothing, like scarves and gloves.

As tempting as it may be, avoid hot water for your shower, as it can strip away natural oils.

When combined with medical-grade treatments like Hydrafacial and Skinvive, these natural skin care remedies will keep your skin healthy and glowing throughout the winter season.
