Winter-ready skin

We seem to winterise everything around us; our homes, our vehicles,… what about our skin?

Our skin loses hydration and suppleness throughout autumn and winter as the air becomes cold and dry. Radiators and fireplaces rapidly dry the air in our homes, further contributing to dry dehydrated skin.

Easy fixes such as swapping out your cleanser and moisturiser for thicker more nourishing textures is a must:

Winter Textures:
Cleanser: cleansing milk, cleansing oil
Moisturiser: balm, cream, rich creme
Summer Textures:
Cleanser: foaming, gel
Moisturiser: gel, lotion

While over-the-counter products have some winter relief, Dr Lucy is a longtime supporter of Obagi® skincare. Incorporating products like Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops™ and Obagi Hydrate Luxe® into your routine will provided 8 hours of moisture and protection against dryness.

We understand brand loyalty, so if you’re not yet ready to switch, other skin enhancing treatments are available such as HydraFacial™ and Profhilo®

HydraFacial is a great way to treat yourself this winter. Our Platinum facial deeply exfoliates with both physical and chemical exfoliation while drenching your skin in hyaluronic acid (HA); allowing for overall better penetration of skincare.

For top of the line in hydration and smoother more supple skin, nothing beats Profhilo. Profhilo is a two-part treatment in which HA is injected directly under the surface of your skin (think injectable moisturiser!) with the added bonus of wrinkle smoothing. This truly transformative treatment does take some commitment!
