Expert Tips for Winter Radiance from Aegis MD

The holidays are around the corner, and with them comes a full social calendar, plenty of photo ops, and the inevitable winter skin slump. At Aegis MD in St. Catharines, we understand how challenging it can be to maintain healthy, luminous skin during the colder months. But with the right seasonal routine and curated treatments, it’s entirely possible to look fresh-faced and glowing from your first cocktail party to your final New Year’s toast.

Let’s dive into your ultimate holiday skincare edit.

Hydration Is Not Optional

Winter air is dry, and indoor heating exacerbates the issue. Your skin loses moisture more quickly, leading to dullness, flaking, and increased sensitivity. To stay ahead of dehydration:
  • Switch to a richer moisturizer with ceramides or hyaluronic acid
  • Layer with a hydrating serum before applying creams
  • Don’t skip sunscreen — UV rays are still active in winter

We often recommend a belaMD facial at Aegis MD to gently exfoliate dead skin and infuse moisture deep into the dermis.

Glow Begins Below the Surface

If you want to transform your complexion truly, the weeks leading up to the holidays are ideal for professional skin treatments. These can target tone, texture, and radiance, setting the stage for your makeup to sit beautifully.

Top picks for winter radiance:

  • BBL HERO or Moxi: Address sun damage and dullness with minimal downtime
  • Microneedling with exosomes: Stimulates skin regeneration and glow from within
  • SkinVive: The ultimate injectable glow booster that hydrates and softens without adding volume
Our team tailors each of these treatments based on your skin’s needs, timeline, and upcoming events.

The timing matters

Your skin needs time to heal and reveal results. Here’s a quick guide for pre-event prep:
  • Injectables (toxins or fillers): 2 to 4 weeks before
  • Laser or light-based treatments: 3 to 4 weeks before
  • Facials: Within 3 to 7 days for the perfect glow
Planning your skincare with intention ensures you’re radiant when it matters most.
