Winter Skincare Tips
Winter can take a toll on your skin. The cold air, biting winds and drying effects of indoor heating can sap moisture from your face, leaving it feeling dry, looking dull and more prone to irritation. At Eterno Clinic, we combine our skincare expertise with advanced treatments to help you keep your skin hydrated and glowing, no matter how cold it gets.
Keep Skin Hydrated with the Right Products
Dry skin is one of the most common winter complaints. To combat this, use a gentle, hydrating cleanser instead of harsh foaming ones and always follow with a rich, ceramide-based moisturiser. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin can help attract and lock in moisture. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen, even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin.
Exfoliate – But Do It Gently
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin smoother and more radiant. However, overdoing it can lead to irritation, especially in winter. Opt for a gentle chemical exfoliant containing AHAs like lactic acid or mandelic acid rather than abrasive scrubs.
If you’re worried about sensitivity, a professional chemical peel tailored to your skin type can brighten your complexion without the risk of over-exfoliating. Book a consultation to explore your options.
Invest in a Humidifier
Central heating keeps your home warm but sucks moisture out of the air, which can lead to dehydrated, flaky skin. Adding a humidifier to your space is a simple way to restore moisture to the air and keep your skin supple.
If your skin feels tight and uncomfortable despite your skincare routine, the issue might not be your products, it could be the dry environment you’re living in.
Protect Your Skin Barrier
A damaged skin barrier makes your skin more vulnerable to environmental stressors, leading to redness, flaking and irritation. To strengthen your skin barrier:
- Avoid overly hot showers.
- Use lipid-rich moisturisers.
- Stay away from products with alcohol or fragrance.
Don’t Neglect Your Lips and Hands
Chapped lips and cracked hands are common in winter, yet they’re often overlooked in skincare routines. Use a nourishing lip balm with SPF and a non-greasy hand cream throughout the day to keep these areas soft and healthy.
Prioritise Professional Treatments
Even with the best at-home care, winter can leave your skin needing extra attention. Professional treatments not only target deeper skin issues but also give you long-term results. At Eterno Clinic, we recommend:

Stay Hydrated and Eat for Your Skin
It’s not just about what you put on your skin, your diet plays a huge role too. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and incorporating omega-3-rich foods like salmon and walnuts to keep your skin nourished from the inside out.
