The Ultimate Winter Skin Revival
How to restore hydration, glow, and smoothness during the colder months Clinic
As winter sets in and temperatures drop, so does the moisture content in your skin. Between icy winds, indoor heating, and reduced humidity, your complexion can quickly shift from dewy to dull, hydrated to flaky. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
At Aegis MD in St. Catharines, the cold season is the perfect time to reset and deeply nourish your skin. If you’re noticing tightness, rough patches, or a lack of glow, you’re not alone, and there’s a reason your summer routine may not be cutting it.
Let’s talk about how to bring your skin back to life, hydrated, luminous, and touchably soft.
Why Winter Skin Needs Special Attention
Unlike summer, when oil production can be higher and sweat keeps pores more active, winter puts your skin into survival mode. Moisture escapes more quickly, your skin barrier weakens, and inflammation tends to increase. The result? Sensitivity, redness, dehydration, and a more pronounced appearance of fine lines and texture.
What Works in Winter: Treatments That Replenish
At Aegis MD medical aesthetics clinic in Niagara, we tailor our winter protocols to deeply restore skin health from the inside out. Some of our favourites include:
- Hydrafacials: A deep cleanse followed by infusion of moisture and antioxidants
- Microneedling with Skin Boosters: Stimulates collagen while delivering hydrating serums below the surface
- Chemical Peels (light): Gently exfoliates dull, dry layers to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion
- LED Therapy: Soothes inflammation and encourages repair on a cellular level
We also recommend switching to richer moisturizers, incorporating hyaluronic acid serums, and considering a humidifier to support your skin from all angles.
Timing Is Everything
The cooler months are ideal for in-clinic treatments that require a bit of downtime or sun avoidance, such as peels or laser treatments. Plus, your skin heals better when you’re not exposed to harsh UV rays. By spring, you’ll be glowing.
Your Personalized Skin Revival Plan
Every skin type reacts differently to the winter season. That’s why our team at Aegis MD in St. Catharines creates fully customized winter skincare regimens, whether your goal is to soothe sensitive skin, boost hydration, fade pigmentation, or achieve all of the above.
