As the snow falls, temps drop and cozy sweaters make their way out of storage, there’s something magical about the winter months. From guilt-free Netflix binging to cocoa by the fire, this season has its own charm. But let’s be honest: while we’re busy embracing the beauty of winter, our skin is fighting a seasonal battle. Dryness, dullness and sensitivity have arrived.
Let’s dive into how you can create a winter-proof self-care plan to save the day for all those skin issues..

Unwind with a Post-Holiday Massage
The toll the colder months take on our bodies and our skin is very real. From the stresses of the holidays to the physical strain of winter activities, or lack of activity, our well-being can often feel neglected.
This transition period presents a perfect opportunity to indulge in the restorative benefits of professional massage therapy at our day spa. Add a hot stone or aromatherapy upgrade for an extra touch of winter comfort.
Key Benefits of Massage Therapy include: increasing circulation and promoting the release of toxins stored in muscles. This revitalization can lead to improved energy levels and a greater sense of well-being. Did you know our immune systems may need a boost to ward off seasonal illnesses. Massage therapy has been shown to support immune function by increasing the activity of white blood cells, helping to keep you healthy and resilient as you navigate the change in seasons.
We offer the following Massage Therapies:

Don’t Skip the Wax
Yes, winter waxing is a thing! Smooth skin isn’t just for summer. Waxing during the colder months helps you maintain a consistent routine and ensures softer, finer regrowth. Bonus: Winter is a great time to do body waxing because you can grow hair out to the length of a grain of rice without anyone noticing! And then, by the time Spring arrives you have super smooth skin that you really don't need to shave!
Women vs. Men: Winter Skin Care Needs
When it comes to winter skin care, one size does not fit all. While both men and women face challenges like dryness and irritation, their skin has different needs:
Women’s Winter Skin Care:
Hydration is Key: Women’s skin tends to be more sensitive, making rich, hydrating products essential. Consider treatments like moisturizing masks and gentle exfoliation to combat dullness.
Layer Smartly: Using serums packed with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants underneath your moisturizer is a game-changer.
Men’s Winter Skin Care:
Focus on Barrier Protection: Men’s skin is thicker but often oilier, which can make winter dryness feel even harsher. A quality moisturizer that doesn’t feel greasy is a must.
Shaving Smarts: Winter is the time to upgrade your post-shave routine with nourishing aftershaves or oils to avoid irritation.
Winter Skin SOS: Most Googled Concerns
Here are the top winter skin woes and how our salon and spa can help:
”How to get rid of dry skin on my face": Hydrating facials and targeted serums.

Home Remedies Checklist For Winter Skin Issues
While professional treatments work wonders, there are simple remedies you can try at home to complement your winter skincare routine:
Hydrate Inside and Out:
Drink plenty of water and use a humidifier to combat dry indoor air.
Exfoliate Gently:
Use a mild exfoliating scrub 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells.
Moisturize Frequently:
Apply a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer right after showering to lock in moisture.
Use Sunscreen:
Even in winter, UV rays can harm your skin. Opt for a moisturizer with SPF.
Apply Overnight Masks:
Hydrating overnight masks can work wonders while you sleep.
Protect Your Hands and Lips:
Use hand creams and lip balms regularly to prevent chapping.
Take Shorter, Lukewarm Showers:
Hot water can strip natural oils, so keep showers brief and warm.
