Winter Skin Reset: How Professional Facials Support Skin Through the Cold Months
Winter brings a unique set of challenges to the skin. Cold air, central heating and lower humidity pull moisture from the surface, weaken the skin barrier, and can lead to dullness, dryness or sensitivity. While daily routines are important, professional facials offer a level of care and precision that goes beyond surface‑level hydration, especially during the harsher months.
At the Edinburgh Skin Clinic, clinical facials are designed to support skin where it is now and where it’s heading. Our advanced analysis and bespoke protocols help address seasonal stressors while building resilience and clarity from within.
Why Winter Amplifies Skin Concerns
Winter conditions often slow the skin’s natural renewal and barrier function, leading to tightness, uneven texture and visible dehydration. Facials use targeted technology — such as ultrasonic renewal, LED light therapy and cryo‑sculpting — to gently accelerate renewal, calm reactive skin and improve circulation. These effects not only enhance immediate radiance but also help the skin adapt to ongoing seasonal stress.
Featured Climate‑Resilient Treatments at Avant
Our clinician tailors each facial to individual needs, taking into account how winter affects hydration, texture and sensitivity. Popular protocol choices this season include:
Glow & Radiance Facial — Ideal for dull or dehydrated skin, combining exfoliation, deep hydration and LED therapy to restore luminosity.
Sensitive Skin Calming Facial — Designed to soothe reactive or barrier‑compromised skin, reducing redness and reinforcing resilience.
Pigmentation Correcting Facial — Targets uneven tone and sun damage that can appear more pronounced in winter dryness.
Supporting Your Skin Between Treatments
To complement the benefits of professional facials, certain Avant products provide targeted support between appointments — helping maintain hydration, comfort, and resilience throughout the winter months:
Pro‑Intense Hyaluronic Acid Illuminating Day Cream — deeply hydrating and radiance-enhancing, helping skin stay comfortable and luminous during the day.
Deluxe Hyaluronic Acid Vivifying Face & Eye Night Cream — a richer overnight formulation that nourishes and replenishes moisture while you sleep.
