Cold Weather Skincare Tips

Cold Weather Skincare Tips from our Nottingham Beauty Team

winter skin tips at jacks and buckley salon nottingham,

Winter in Nottingham brings chilly winds and frosty mornings, but for your skin, the cold weather can lead to dryness, irritation, and a dull complexion. At Jacks & Buckley Salon, we understand the importance of maintaining healthy, glowing skin throughout the colder months. With a combination of expert advice and advanced skin treatments, we’re here to help you protect and nourish your complexion this winter.

During winter, low humidity levels and central heating can strip the skin of its natural moisture, leaving it dry and more prone to redness, flaking, and sensitivity. The harsh environment can also disrupt your skin's natural barrier, making it harder for your complexion to retain hydration and fight off environmental aggressors.

To combat these challenges, a combination of effective skincare habits and professional treatments is essential.

1. Hydrate Your Skin

The key to maintaining a glowing complexion during winter is hydration. Opt for a rich, nourishing moisturiser to lock in moisture and protect your skin barrier. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and shea butter are excellent for delivering intense hydration.

At Jacks & Buckley, we recommend pairing your at-home hydration routine with our Elemis Rose Pro Glow Facial.  This is a lavishly hydrating and luxurious facial, infused with a precious trio of rose extracts and hydrating Padina Pavonica, to smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and leave the skin gleaming with radiance, glow and natural luminosity.

2. Gently Exfoliate

Exfoliation is crucial for removing dead skin cells that can accumulate and leave your complexion looking dull. However, over-exfoliating can lead to irritation, especially in winter. Choose a gentle exfoliant and limit use to 1-2 times per week.

For a more professional solution, consider our Dermaplaning Treatment, which not only exfoliates but also removes peach fuzz, leaving your skin smooth and radiant.

3. Protect Your Skin Barrier

Cold weather can weaken your skin’s protective barrier, so focus on strengthening it with products rich in lipids and antioxidants. Avoid harsh cleansers and opt for creamy, non-stripping formulas instead.

Our Elemis Superfood Pro Radiance Facial is packed with balancing pre-biotics, fermented plant actives and vitamin rich super foods , full of anti-oxidants to serve your skin an energizing , uplifting and detoxifying experience. This vegan facial is naturally versatile for all skin types and with all the natural aromas of blackcurrant, aloe vera, green tea seed oil and mango and rice water, this facial experience leaves you feeling totally consumed and cocooned in nature.

4. Don’t Skip SPF

UV rays are still present in winter, even on cloudy days. Protect your skin with a broad-spectrum SPF to prevent premature ageing and sun damage.

5. Invest in a Humidifier

Central heating can dry out the air in your home. Using a humidifier helps maintain moisture levels, keeping your skin hydrated.
