Why Winter Skin Feels Dry, Tight, and Sensitive

When the weather turns cold, your skin loses more water, produces fewer lipids (especially ceramides), and becomes more easily irritated. This isn’t just “dry skin”—it’s a true barrier disruption caused by:

• Low humidity → increases moisture loss

• Cold temperatures → slow down the enzymes that make lipids

• Reduced circulation → fewer nutrients reach your skin

This combination lowers ceramide levels by up to 25–30%, which weakens your barrier and makes skin feel dry, rough, reactive, or flaky.

How I Support Your Skin in the Treatment Room

✨ PDRN Facial (Level 2 – 60 min)

This treatment focuses on repairing the barrier, improving firmness, and increasing resilience during the winter months. You can also level up to the Level 3 – 60 min Facial, which uses higher-concentration ampoules and stem cells for enhanced results.

Client favorites:

• PDRN Core Elastica Cream, a medium-weight rejuvenating cream with 100,000 ppm PDRN that improves elasticity, smooths pores and wrinkles, and supports rapid regeneration.

• Moisture Tension Ampoule-ssence, a fast-absorbing formula that strengthens the barrier in 2 weeks with hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, and salmon roe extract.

• Rejuvenating Ampoule for deeper hydration and heavier winter repair.

✨ Gentle Exfoliating Therapies

For winter, I select the gentlest exfoliating method your barrier can tolerate—dermaplaning, a light peel, or an enzyme treatment.

Client favorites:

• Hevatox Pads for smoothing with lifting peptides and “tox” protein.

• Skin Prep, which includes PLLA for volume and snow mushroom for deep hydration.

• Cavi + O2, a formula that retexturizes, firms, and supports collagen with PLLA.

  
  

  These approaches refine texture without stripping your barrier.

✨ Lamellar/Bio-mimic Moisturizers

These moisturizers mimic your skin’s natural lipid structure to restore ceramides, strengthen the barrier, and reduce moisture loss.

Client favorites:

• HOP Volume Boost Moisturizer, a PLLA-rich formula that plumps, firms, and deeply hydrates.

• Rejuvenating Cream, a PDRN-based repair cream perfect for overnight nourishment.

• Cell Rejuvenation Post Cream, loaded with 6GF peptides for healing after exfoliation or irritation.

• Meso Repair Cream, a heavy, peptide-dense formula ideal for very dry or winter-stressed skin.

What You Can Do at Home

Use a humidifier, avoid over-cleansing, apply your moisturizer right after bathing, and switch to richer, lipid-dense formulas during the winter months.

The Bottom LineWinter dryness is a true lipid imbalance—not just dehydration. When we restore ceramides and strengthen the barrier, your skin stays hydrated, calm, resilient, and healthy.If you’re feeling extra dry or irritated right now, just message me—your winter routine may need a simple seasonal upgrade.
