As temperatures drop, our skin faces harsh environmental changes that can lead to dryness, irritation, and a dull complexion. Cool air, low humidity, and indoor heating strip away moisture, leaving skin feeling tight and dehydrated. At The Spa at The Highland, we believe winter skin care is about more than just hydration—it’s about restoring balance, protecting your skin barrier, and indulging in luxurious treatments that keep your skin glowing all season long.
How Winter Affects Your Skin
Winter weather presents several challenges for your skin:
- Loss of Moisture – Cold, dry air pulls moisture from your skin, leading to dryness and flakiness.
- Increased Sensitivity – Harsh winds and indoor heating weaken your skin barrier, causing irritation and redness.
- Dull Complexion – Reduced sun exposure and lack of moisture can make skin appear tired and lifeless.
To combat these effects, a targeted winter skin care routine is essential.
Winter Skin Care Tips for a Radiant Glow
- Hydrate from Head to Toe
The foundation of healthy skin in winter is deep hydration. Switching to a richer moisturizer locks in hydration and protects your skin barrier. Look for products with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and shea butter for maximum nourishment.
Spa Solution: Treat yourself to the Head-to-Toe Eminence Facial at The Spa at The Highland. This 80-minute facial not only hydrates your face but also includes a healing scalp massage and soothing treatments for your hands and feet, ensuring total hydration and relaxation.
- Exfoliate Gently to Restore Radiance
Winter skin can become dull due to a buildup of dead skin cells. Regular exfoliation keeps skin smooth and enhances the absorption of serums and moisturizers. However, harsh scrubs can strip away moisture, so opt for a gentle yet effective body scrub.
Spa Solution: The Stone Crop Body Scrub at The Spa at The Highland polishes your skin with hydrating sugar and mineral-rich rock salt, helping to remove impurities while deeply moisturizing. It’s the perfect way to revive your skin in winter.
- Protect Your Skin Barrier with Facials
A customized facial is one of the best ways to combat winter skin stress. Facials help replenish moisture, calm inflammation, and strengthen your skin’s natural defenses.
Spa Solution: The Enhanced Custom LED Facial at The Spa at The Highland is an excellent choice for winter. LED light therapy targets redness, hyperpigmentation, and dehydration, leaving your skin toned, glowing, and revitalized.
For a true winter refresh, the 50-Minute Frosted Glow Facial incorporates ice globes, which tighten pores, boost circulation, and reduce inflammation, perfect for restoring winter-weary skin.
- Lock in Moisture with Body Treatments
Your face isn’t the only area affected by winter—your entire body needs care. Dry, cracked skin on your hands, feet, and legs can feel uncomfortable, making body treatments an essential part of winter wellness.
Spa Solution: The French Sea Salt & CBD Infused Scrub at The Spa at The Highland not only gently exfoliates but also nourishes and soothes dry skin, thanks to therapeutic CBD and trace minerals. This treatment restores softness and promotes deep relaxation.
- Strengthen Circulation with Contrast Therapy
Cold weather can slow circulation, leaving your skin looking pale and feeling sluggish. An effective way to invigorate your body is through contrast therapy—alternating between heat and cold.
Spa Solution: The Sauna & Cold Plunge experience at The Spa at The Highland offers detoxification, boosted circulation, and reduced inflammation, helping your skin regain radiance and elasticity.
