As the cold air settles in and the heaters kick on, skin is often the first to feel the effects. Dry winds, low humidity, and indoor heat can leave a once-dewy complexion looking dull, flaky, and irritated. The good news? With the right care—and a few expert tips—you can absolutely maintain a healthy, radiant glow all winter long.

At Catalyst Medspa, we specialize in helping clients protect and restore their skin through every season. Here are five of our favorite ways to keep your skin glowing, hydrated, and protected during the colder months.

Step 1: Exfoliate, but Keep It Gentle

Winter dryness often leads to a buildup of dead skin cells that block your products from doing their job. We recommend choosing gentle exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs instead of harsh scrubs, about 2–3 times a week.

In our spa, we offer dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and medical-grade facials for a professional-level refresh. These treatments smooth texture, brighten your complexion, and help your skincare products absorb more effectively.

Step 2: Hydrate Inside and Out

Hydration is more than just moisturizer; it’s about balance. Staying hydrated with water and nourishing foods like cucumbers, oranges, and avocados is just as important as applying the right products. Look for hyaluronic acid to help your skin lock in moisture.

For stubborn winter dryness, we often recommend our Hydraglow facial or Skinvive treatments, paired with vitamin booster shots. Together, they replenish hydration at a deeper level and keep your skin supple, even on the coldest days.

Step 3: Don’t Skip SPF

Even on cloudy days, UV rays can still cause damage. Daily SPF (30 or higher) is essential—yes, even indoors, since windows don’t block all harmful rays. To further strengthen your skin barrier, we offer trusted brands that incorporate ceramides and niacinamide, protecting against dryness, wind, and pollution.

Step 4: Boost Your Energy & Immunity

Winter brings fatigue, travel, and seasonal bugs. Our vitamin B12, B-Complex, and glutathione boosters not only support your energy and immunity but also give your skin an extra healthy glow.

Step 5: Level Up Your Routine

If you’re ready to take your results further, a consultation is the best next step. We offer advanced treatments like Botox and Morpheus8 skin tightening to target wrinkles, acne scars, and collagen loss at a deeper level.

Bottom line: With a bit of extra care and the right professional support, you don’t just have to survive winter. You can glow through it!
