Combatting Winter Skin Woes: Tips for Perth’s Cold Season

Winter in Perth can wreak havoc on your skin. We have some tips on how to minimise the damage and keep your glowing skin year round. As the weather turns chilly many people in Perth may experience common winter skin which include dryness, flakiness, itchiness, and dullness. But dont stress because the right skincare routine and some simple tips can combat your winter skin issues and keep your skin healthy and glowing all season long.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: You would think that in winter the last thing you need to do is stay hydrated because there is so much more rain but keeping your skin hydrated is crucial for healthy skin regardless of the season. In winter the air tends to be drier than in summer which can result in dry and cracked skin, lips and eyes.

You can also look at options such as adding a humidifier to your office or home which can add mositure back into the air.

Skincare Tips For Winter In Perth

Moisturize Regularly: Another form of hydration is to moisturise with a good qaulity moisturiser such as Medik8 Ultimate Recovery  or O Cosmedics Comfort Cream. Good quality moisturisers are high in emollients which help lock in the moisture in your skin and reduce Transepidermal Water Lose (TEWL).

Exfoliate Gently: Exfoliating regularly is important however during the winter months its important to be a bit more sensitive with your skin. choose a gentle exfoliator such as Medik8 Pore Refining Scrub or dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant. These will help to unclog pores without being to harsh on your skin and allowing the winter dry air to create havoc.

Don’t Forget Your Lips: If your anything like me then your lips are often the first area to suffer from winter dryness. Keep your lips hydrated and protected with a lip gloss such as the Medik8 Mutiny Lip Balm.

Protect Your Skin: You might think that winter is a great tip to skip on your sunscreen but you need to use sunscreen all year round. Ensure a minimum of SPF30 is applied every few hours that your outside will protect your skin from the hardh Perth sun and also ensure you dont fall victim to premature aging from sun exposure.

Take Lukewarm Showers: Avoid super hot showers in winter, while it might feel comforting, hot showers can leave your skin feeling dryer.

Incorporate Hydrating Masks: Your skin is extra thirsty during winter so treat it to a hydrating mask once or twice a week to help maintain hydrated skin. This can be done with one of Bare Skin and Beauty’s facials or do a DIY treatment at home or with one of the masks at Bare Skincare and Beauty.

Cold Weather, Glowing Skin: Perth’s Winter Treatments

Lets take full advantage of thew colder months and get your skin better than ever with one of Bare Skin and Beauty’s facial and skin treatments.

Hydrating Facials Perth

Because winter is so drying it important to get as much moisture into your skin as possible. Two treatments that can do this are Medik8’s Deep Hydration Facial and Hydrodermabrasion.

 

Chemical Peel Perth

Winter is the perfect time to get chemical peels and more advanced treatments done. The Perth’s UV index is much lower than in summer so it allows your skin to heal without the harsh sun constantly beating down on it. Some of our favourites are the O Cosmedics Peels which includes the O Cosmedics Pomegranate Peel and the O Cosmedics Bio White Peel.

 

Cosmelan Peel Perth

Another great peel for winter is the Cosmelan Peel, this has bonus benefits from getting this peel done in winter. Cosmelan Peel is an anti pigmentation peel and one of the main accelerants of pigmentation is the sun. While Perth will always have a harsh sun, getting a Cosmelan Peel in winter will take advantage of the less harsh time of the year.

Winter Lip and Eye Treatments

Its important not to forget about the targeted treatments also such as lip and eye treatments. A great treatment to target the eye area during winter is dermalogica’s eye flash pro. Doing this treatment durin winter will give your eyes more time to heal away from the sun and with all Bare Skin and Beauty’s treatments there is the option to add on a hydrating lip mask.

Plasma Fibroblast

If your like me and love to hibernate during winter the our plasma Fibroblast is a great treatment for you. While this treatment does need some down time it is the perfect treatment for winter. The after feel of fibreblast is a bit like a sunburn so having it done in the cooler months allows it to be less painful and it since you will also have a few dots on your face for a few days its also a great treatment to wrap yourself up in a quilt and sit watching TV while its raining outside.
