As winter rolls in, the colder weather and central heating can take a toll on your skin. But don’t worry! With the right skincare routine, you can keep your skin glowing, hydrated, and healthy throughout the colder months. At La Cara Aesthetics in Hastings, we’ve put together the ultimate winter skincare tips to help you maintain radiant skin all season long. Whether you’re struggling with dryness or dullness, our expert tips and treatments will ensure your skin stays smooth and hydrated during winter.

Why Winter Skincare Is So Important

During winter, the combination of cold air outside and the dry indoor heating leads to moisture loss, leaving your skin feeling dehydrated, tight, and flaky. Dryness can make your skin look dull, and central heating further reduces the humidity in the air, contributing to premature ageing. To keep your skin looking fresh and radiant, it’s essential to adjust your skincare routine to tackle these seasonal challenges. At La Cara Aesthetics, based in Hastings, we offer tailored skincare advice and treatments to ensure your skin stays healthy and glowing throughout winter.

Hydrate from Within and Out

The key to healthy skin in winter is hydration. Skin hydration starts from within, so it’s important to drink plenty of water throughout the day. But external hydration is equally important. A rich moisturiser is a must to keep your skin barrier intact. Consider using a thicker, hydrating moisturiser that locks in moisture and prevents dry patches. We recommend products with hyaluronic acid to attract and retain moisture, making your skin look plump and refreshed.

If you need personalised skincare advice or recommendations on products to help hydrate your skin this winter, La Cara Aesthetics in Hastings is here to help.

Never Skip Sunscreen

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you should skip sunscreen. Harmful UV rays can damage your skin even on cloudy days, causing premature ageing and increasing the risk of pigmentation. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, even during the colder months. This will protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays that are still present, even when the sun seems less intense.

Invest in a Humidifier

Central heating can be a skin’s worst enemy during the winter. It dries out the air, causing your skin to lose moisture more quickly. Using a humidifier at home can help maintain the moisture in the air and prevent your skin from becoming too dry. This is especially helpful at night when you sleep, as it works while you rest, keeping your skin hydrated overnight.

Switch to a Richer Moisturiser

As temperatures drop, your regular moisturiser may not provide enough hydration. Switch to a richer, thicker moisturiser that’s designed for winter. Look for products containing nourishing ingredients like shea butter, ceramides, and glycerin that work to protect your skin from the harsh weather and keep it moisturised throughout the day.

For those in Hastings, our team at La Cara Aesthetics can recommend the best moisturisers for your skin type. Book a consultation to ensure your winter skincare routine is working its best.

Gently Exfoliate to Remove Dead Skin Cells

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, promoting skin renewal and boosting the absorption of moisturisers. However, during winter, it’s important to exfoliate gently to avoid irritating dry, sensitive skin. Use a mild exfoliant, such as lactic acid or gentle scrubs, that removes dead skin without stripping moisture. Regular exfoliation can reveal smoother, more radiant skin underneath the dull, dry surface.

In addition to exfoliation, consider our microneedling treatments at La Cara Aesthetics to stimulate collagen production and give your skin a smoother texture during the winter months. Book your consultation to see how microneedling can enhance your skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars or fine lines.

Treat Dry Lips and Eye Area

During winter, your lips and the delicate skin around your eyes are especially vulnerable to dryness. Use a lip balm containing nourishing ingredients like beeswax or petrolatum to keep your lips hydrated and soft. For the skin around your eyes, use a gentle eye cream with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to reduce puffiness, hydrate, and protect against fine lines.
