Winter Skin Survival Guide

by Nancy Pham

When winter rolls around, your skin starts to feel it. The chilly air, heaters on full blast and low humidity levels can leave your skin feeling tight, dry and irritated. But with the right routine and a little professional guidance, your skin can stay healthy, hydrated and glowing all season long.

Here’s your ultimate winter skin survival guide.

 

1. Switch to a Gentle Cleanser

During colder months, it’s important to avoid harsh cleansers that strip your skin of its natural oils. Instead, opt for something gentle and hydrating.

We recommend the Ultraceuticals Ultra Calming Cleanser. It effectively removes impurities without compromising your skin barrier, leaving your skin soft and calm.

 

2. Focus on Hydration

Hydration is key in winter. When the air is dry, your skin loses moisture faster. Boost your routine with a rich moisturiser and a hydrating serum underneath for maximum results.

Try the Ultraceuticals Ultra B2 Hydration Serum which contains Pro-vitamin B5 and Hyaluronic Acid to attract and retain moisture. Follow it with the Ultra Moisturiser Cream to deeply nourish and restore the skin’s barrier.

 

3. Don’t Skip SPF

Yes, even in winter. UVA rays are present all year round and contribute to premature ageing and pigmentation. Applying SPF daily is non-negotiable.

We love the Ultraceuticals Ultra UV Protective Daily Moisturiser SPF 50+. It comes in different finishes (Mattifying, Hydrating and Sheer Tint) to suit your skin type.

 

4. Exfoliate (But Don’t Overdo It)

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and allows your skincare to absorb better. But be gentle in winter to avoid irritation.

The Ultraceuticals Ultra Gentle Exfoliating Gel is perfect for maintaining smooth skin without over-stripping. It contains a blend of Lactic Acid and enzymes to refine texture while keeping your barrier intact.

 

5. Book in for Professional Treatments

A professional facial can give your skin the boost it needs. Treatments like medi-facials, hydrating masks, and LED light therapy are ideal in winter. They help stimulate circulation, replenish moisture and support overall skin health.

Bonus Tips for Healthy Winter Skin

  • Use a humidifier indoors to add moisture to the air

  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day

  • Avoid long, hot showers that can dehydrate the skin

  • Apply lip balm regularly to prevent cracked lips

 

Your skin deserves just as much care in winter as it does in summer. With the right Ultraceuticals products and some tailored professional support, you’ll keep your glow all year round.
