Written By tara lane

As the winter season approaches, it brings colder temperatures and drier air, which can have a significant impact on your skin. At Skindulge Medi Spa, we understand the importance of adapting your skincare routine to combat the challenges posed by winter weather. In this blog post, we'll explore different skin types and provide valuable tips on how to nurture and protect your skin during the chilly months.


Dry Skin: Winter can exacerbate dryness, causing discomfort and flaky skin. To combat dry skin during winter:

  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

  • Moisturize: Opt for a rich, nourishing moisturizer that locks in moisture and replenishes dry skin.

  • We Recommend Cosmedix Emulsion

  • Exfoliate Gently: Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and enhance product absorption.

  • We Recommend Aspect Fruit Enzyme

Oily Skin: Although oily skin tends to be less affected by winter dryness, it still requires attention. Consider the following tips for oily skin during winter:

  • Lightweight Moisturizer: Switch to a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to provide hydration without clogging pores.

  • We Recommend Dr Aspect Ultra Light Hydration

  • Control Shine: Use oil-absorbing sheets or mattifying products to keep excess shine at bay.

  • We recommend Cosmedix Purity Balance

  • Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your face with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to avoid triggering excessive oil production.

  • We recommend Dr Aspect Mild Clean

Combination Skin: Combination skin presents a mix of dry and oily areas. To address the varying needs of combination skin in winter:

  • Hydration Balance: Use a moisturizer that hydrates dry areas without overwhelming oily zones.

  • We recommend Dr Aspect Ultra-Light Hydration

  • Spot Treatments: Apply targeted treatments for specific areas of concern, such as dry patches or breakouts.

  • We recommend Aspect Stop Spot for Breakouts

  • SPF Protection: Don't forget to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, even during winter.

  • We recommend Aspect Sun Physical SPF 50+

Sensitive Skin: Sensitive skin requires extra care to minimize irritation during winter. Consider the following precautions:

  • Gentle Products: Opt for fragrance-free, hypoallergenic skincare products formulated for sensitive skin.

  • We recommend Cosmedix Benefit Clean, Dr Aspect Optiboost Complex and Cosmedix Hydrat +

  • Patch Test: Always perform a patch test before trying new products to check for any adverse reactions.

  • Soothing Ingredients: Look for skincare products containing calming ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, or oatmeal.

  • We recommend Dr Aspect Soothing Balm
