Winter brings cold air, dry heat indoors, and lower humidity—all of which can take a toll on your skin, leading to dryness, redness, and irritation. Achieving radiant skin in winter requires extra attention to hydration and protective treatments to help you keep your glow all season long. Here are five expert tips for winter skincare that will ensure your skin stays soft, hydrated, and radiant.
1. Keep Your Skin Hydrated with a Rich Moisturizer
Dryness is a common winter skincare challenge due to low humidity and cold air. Using a rich moisturizer helps lock in hydration and creates a protective barrier on your skin’s surface. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin, which are great for attracting and retaining moisture. Applying your moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp can enhance absorption.
2. Add Humidity to Your Environment
Central heating can dry out the air, leading to dehydrated skin. A simple solution is to use a humidifier at home to add moisture back into the air, which can benefit your skin as well as your respiratory health. Aim for a humidity level around 40-50% to keep skin feeling comfortable and hydrated.
3. Get Regular Hydration Facials
A hydration facial can deeply nourish and replenish your skin, offering hydration that penetrates beyond the surface. Health Horizons offers hydration facials tailored to address winter skin challenges, leaving your skin soft and smooth. This is especially beneficial if you’re experiencing tightness, flakiness, or dullness.
4. Exfoliate, but Don’t Overdo It
Exfoliating during winter removes dead skin cells that can build up and make skin appear dull. However, over-exfoliating can strip away natural oils and worsen dryness. Consider gentler options, like a microdermabrasion treatment, which removes dead cells effectively without irritation. Health Horizons offers microdermabrasion for a deep yet gentle exfoliation that keeps your skin bright and smooth all season long.
5. Consider In-Office Treatments Like Morpheus 8

This minimally invasive treatment combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to boost collagen production, helping your skin stay firm, smooth, and hydrated even in the harshest winter conditions.
