Why Our Skin Gets So Dang Dry in the Winter (and How to Fix It!)



ree

Winter season: cozy sweaters, hot cocoa, holiday vibes… and mysteriously crusty skin. If you’ve ever wondered why your face suddenly feels like it aged 10 years the moment the temperature drops, you’re not alone. Let’s break down what’s really going on and more importantly, how to get your glow back with a mix of in salon treatments and a in home magic using Circadia, and Hale & Hush.


Why Does Winter Skin = Dry Skin?

Winter weather is basically a moisture thief. Here’s who’s to blame:

  • Cold Air: Cold = low humidity. Low humidity = dry air literally pulling moisture from your skin.

  • Indoor Heating: Cozy but cruel. Heaters zap the water content from your skin even more.

  • Hot Showers: Nothing feels better… nothing dries you out faster.

  • Damaged Skin Barrier: The combo of weather + heat can weaken your barrier, making skin flaky, tight, dull, and more sensitive.

So yes, your skin isn’t being dramatic it’s under attack.


What You Can Do at the Salon

This is where we come in to rescue your winter skin and bring it back to life:


1. Hydrating Facials (Circadia + Hale & Hush)

Using Circadia’s hydrating enzymes and Hale & Hush’s calming formulas, we can replenish moisture, soothe irritation, and strengthen your skin barrier. Your face will literally drink it up.


2. Oxygen or Enzyme Therapy (Circadia)

Perfect for dull, lackluster winter skin. These treatments improve circulation, boost hydration, and give you that "lit from within" glow.


3. Barrier Repair Treatments (Hale & Hush)

If your skin turns red, flaky, or reactive every winter, Hale & Hush is your BFF. Their products are designed for sensitive or compromised skin, making them ideal for winter irritation.


4. Gentle Resurfacing

We skip the harsh stuff in winter. Think mild lactic or enzyme resurfacing to remove dead skin without stripping your moisture barrier.


At Home Care That Makes a HUGE Difference

Consistency at home is everything. Here’s your winter survival kit using Circadia, and Hale & Hush:


1. Swap to a Hydrating Cleanser

Go creamier, gentler, and barrier friendly.

  • Try: Circadia's Nourishing Cleanser or Hale & Hush Quiet Wash.


2. Layer Your Hydration

Think of hydration like a sandwich:

  1. Hydrating serum like Circadia’s Moisture On Demand

  2. Moisturizer Circadia Tranquili Cream or Hale & Hush Hush Hydrate.


3. Upgrade Your Moisturizer

Winter calls for richer textures but still non comedogenic. Circadia's Post Peel Balm.


4. Don’t Forget SPF (Yes… even in winter!)

Dry skin + sneaky UV rays = a fast track to aging. Protect it daily.


5. Use a Humidifier

Your skin will thank you. So will your hair, sinuses, and plants.


6. Shorter, Cooler Showers

Sorry… but your skin barrier will love you for it.


The Bottom Line

Winter doesn’t have to mean giving up your glow. With the right mix of in salon treatments and at home care especially using powerhouse lines like Circadia, Hale & Hush you can keep your skin hydrated, radiant, and comfortable all season long.


If you’re ready for a winter skin refresh, book your seasonal hydrating facial like Wet Micodroderm or a Hydrofacial or stop by the salon and we’ll help you build the perfect at home routine!
