“During the winter months I add a balmy textured moisturiser to my night time routine,” says facialist Michaella Bolder. “I look for something that is a natural humectant to lock in moisture and infuse essential amino acids and vitamins to support to my skin tissue. This one from La Roche Posay is great.”

“My favourite product for winter skincare is the Silk Bio-cellulose Mask from Skincycles,” says Alice Henshaw, founder of Harley Street Injectables. “This mask is a true game-changer for dry or lacklustre skin. The bio-cellulose material can adhere to the skin and lock in moisture, making it ideal for winter, when skin tends to lose hydration due to harsh weather conditions and indoor heating. Then the hyaluronic acid-rich formula works to deeply hydrate and revitalise the skin. It’s not just about temporary relief; this mask helps to maintain the skin’s natural barrier, protecting it against harsh winter conditions. For me, it’s the ultimate secret to keeping skin hydrated, radiant and healthy throughout winter.”

“One of my favourite oils is Aevi’s Nourishing Facial Oil,” says cosmetic acupuncturist Sarah Bradden. “It’s a beautiful oil naturally infused with antioxidants, vitamins and omegas 3, 6 and 7. It’s great for even the most sensitive of skin. Perfect for facial massage, it doesn’t leave the skin too oily – just gorgeous dewy glow.”

“For tired-looking eyes, this serum is my favourite skin booster,” says facialist and Chinese medicine practitioner Ada Ooi. “It’s formulated with neuropeptides to regenerate skin from within and address all the needs of the delicate eye area. A variety of peptide combinations create signals to release tension, stimulate collagen synthesis and boost blood circulation to firm and lift from within, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid creates water pathways to guide the actives into skin to combat puffiness and dark circles, leaving the eye area brighter, plumped and reawakened.”

“Alongside dryness, one of the most common concerns I see in clients during the winter months is an increase in sensitivity,” explains esthetician Grace Day. “It makes total sense – when skin is dry and the skin barrier is damaged, sensitivity is heightened, and people are much more likely to experience redness and irritation. This year, I’ve been recommending The Ordinary’s Soothing & Barrier Support Serum to all my clients – as well as using it myself. It’s specifically formulated to help with skin that’s showing the warning signs of a damaged skin barrier, such as increased redness, tightness, dryness and inflammation. I love that it helps to soothe angry skin and also to repair the barrier to prevent further issues.”

“At this time of year we generally indulge ourselves with rich delicious treats and drinks. That’s why I love a product that combats the puffy tired eyes,” says facialist Rhian Truman. “This winter my go-to has been Iräye’s Eye Revive Cream. The first eye cream proven to boost lymphatic activity for de-puffed, brighter and rejuvenated eyes. It’s powered by a patent-pending lymphactive complex that works to enhance micro-circulation, reduce water retention and repair lymph vessels.”

“During winter, the combination of cold weather, indoor heating and low humidity depletes moisture, tone and elasticity in the skin,” explains Dr Eirini Merika, consultant dermatologist at Montrose London. “Hyaluronic acid serums help rehydrate the skin and improve elasticity as well as have an anti-ageing effect. SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Serum gives an instant boost by plumping the surface of the skin while penetrating to increase skin volume, making the skin look and feel instantly hydrated. It can be used under make-up as a serum or before moisturising at night”

“Butter balm at this time of year is the perfect addition to your skincare routine and can be used on the body or face,” says skin and wellness expert Marie Reynolds. “It’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, plus it’s packed full of decadent butters and oils. It’s a cocktail of essential fatty acids to feed and nourish the skin.”

“I love to use the blue peel once a week as it contains high levels of moisturising ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and anti-inflammatory ingredients like azelaic acid,” says aesthetician Iris Maglanoc. “These work synergistically to soothe, moisturise and calm irritated, flaky and dry skin – a common complaint during winter. One time I used it on a client and her whole face was a different shade to her neck – it really brightened up the skin.”

“My winter go-to is the Skin Matters Calming Gel – it’s my ultimate skin saviour for restoring and rejuvenating skin health,” says facialist Joanne Evans. “It acts as a potent booster to repair the skin barrier, lock in moisture, and promote cellular-level healing with NAD and antioxidants, while also nourishing and soothing against common winter skin culprits such as irritation and redness. It can be used during the day as a booster under moisturiser or on its own at night as a more intense treatment.”
