As the colder months approach, your skin may start to feel the effects of winter’s harsh weather. Dry air, cold winds, and indoor heating can leave your complexion feeling tight, flaky, and dull. Winter skincare becomes a top priority for many, and treating yourself to a facial is one of the best ways to keep your skin radiant and hydrated.

 

Before scheduling your treatment, you might have questions about how facials help during winter. Below, we address common winter facial FAQs and explain how Spavia facials can help you maintain glowing, healthy skin all season long.

 

Frequently Asked Questions About Facials During Winter

 

Should I hydrate more before a facial?

 

Yes! Keeping your skin hydrated before a facial helps prevent excess dryness. Drink water and use a gentle moisturizer in the days leading up to your facial to maximize the benefits.

 

Should I stop using exfoliants before my facial?

 

Stop using exfoliants 2-3 days before your facial. For stronger exfoliants like retinols, pause for 5-7 days to minimize irritation and properly prepare your skin.

 

What should I add to my routine leading up to my facial?

 

A rich, hydrating moisturizer can prevent winter dryness and enhance product absorption during your treatment.

 

How soon can I resume my skincare routine post-facial?

 

Wait 24-48 hours before reintroducing strong products like retinoids or exfoliants. Stick to gentle, hydrating products during this time.

 

Can I wear makeup right after my facial?

 

Avoid primers and liquid foundations post-facial. Opt for mineral powders that let your skin breathe while providing SPF protection.

 

Is there anything I should avoid eating or drinking before my facial?

 

Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of your facial as they can dehydrate your skin and increase inflammation. Stay hydrated with water instead.

 

Why Does My Skin Feel So Dry in the Winter?

 

Winter's cold air has lower humidity, leading to faster moisture evaporation. Indoor heating further depletes skin moisture, causing dryness, redness, and irritation. These harsh conditions weaken your skin’s barrier, making regular facials crucial for hydration and protection.

 

How Can Facials Help My Skin in the Winter?

  • Deep Hydration: Restores balance and eliminates dryness.
  • Gentle Exfoliation: Removes flaky, dry skin for a smoother complexion.
  • Soothing Relief: Calms redness and irritation with anti-inflammatory ingredients.
  • Protection: Strengthens the skin’s barrier to lock in moisture.
  • Anti-Aging Benefits: Peptides and antioxidants fight signs of aging.
