Winter Skincare: Beat Dry, Dull Skin

Cold air outside, dry heating inside — Warsaw winters put your skin through a lot. The drop in humidity strips moisture from the skin, leaving it tight, flaky, dull and sometimes red or irritated.

With a few seasonal adjustments and the right professional treatments, you can keep your skin hydrated and glowing all winter. Here's how our skin therapists recommend adapting your routine.

Switch to a richer moisturiser

Your lightweight summer moisturiser may not be enough in winter. A richer cream helps lock in hydration and protect the skin barrier against cold, dry air.

Don't skip hydrating facials

Regular hydrating facials — or a HydraFacial — replenish moisture deeper than home care alone, keeping winter skin plump and radiant rather than dry and dull.

Be gentle with exfoliation

Over-exfoliating in winter can damage an already stressed barrier. Cut back to gentle exfoliation once or twice a week to keep skin smooth without irritation.

Keep wearing SPF

UV damage doesn't stop in winter, especially with snow reflecting light. Daily SPF remains essential for protecting your skin and preventing pigmentation.

Hydrate from within

Indoor heating is dehydrating. Drinking enough water and using a humidifier at home both help your skin hold onto moisture.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my skin so dry in winter?

Cold air holds less moisture and indoor heating dries the air further, both pulling hydration from your skin. Richer moisturisers and hydrating facials help counteract it.

Should I still wear SPF in winter?

Yes. UV rays cause damage year-round, and snow reflects additional light. Daily SPF protects against ageing and pigmentation in every season.
