WAYS TO COMBAT THE HARSH EFFECTS OF WINTER ON YOUR SKIN

Winter Skin Solutions at Tx Bar Geelong

Combat dryness, irritation and dullness with expert guidance and medical-grade skincare.

Winter has well and truly arrived—and with it, a wave of skin concerns we see regularly in clinic. Cold, dry winds and heated indoor environments strip the skin of its natural moisture, leaving it dehydrated, red, and sensitised.

At Tx Bar Geelong, our experienced skin therapists, cosmetic nurses, and nurse practitioner offer tailored advice and in-clinic treatments to help you maintain glowing, resilient skin throughout the cooler months.

Why Your Skin Suffers in Winter

It’s not just the drop in temperature. Constant exposure to artificial heating, reduced humidity, and long hot showers all contribute to barrier disruption, causing tightness, dryness, and increased sensitivity. One of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your skin is by adjusting your skincare routine seasonally.

🔄 Swap to a Gentle Routine

Hot water, especially on the face, can strip natural oils. Switch to lukewarm cleansing, and opt for hydrating, pH-balanced cleansers that won’t compromise your barrier.

If your skin feels dull and congested, exfoliation can make a world of difference. We recommend:

• Aspect Dr Exfol A Plus Serum – $149

• Aspect Fruit Enzyme Mask – $69

Both options gently remove dead skin cells, boost cell turnover and enhance product absorption without causing irritation.

💧 Hydration Is Non-Negotiable

Winter skin needs support from humectants and barrier-restoring ingredients. Look for:

• Aspect Dr Hyaluronic Serum – $149 (for hydration without heaviness)

• Aspect Dr Resveratrol Moisturising Cream – $99 (ideal for repairing and soothing dry, sensitive skin)

• Aspect Dr Multi B Plus – $149 (rich in Niacinamide to regulate oil flow and improve skin resilience)

And don’t forget your lips—they’re especially vulnerable in cold, dry weather. Our go-to?

• Aspect Hydrating Lip Balm – $19
  A clinic favourite that’s always in our team’s pockets.

☀️ SPF in Winter? Absolutely.

While UVB (the burning rays) may be lower in winter, UVA rays—responsible for premature ageing—are still active and can penetrate glass and cloud cover. A broad-spectrum SPF or mineral makeup with Titanium Dioxide is essential daily. Your future self will thank you.

🧴 Best In-Clinic Treatments for Winter

Cooler months are the perfect time for repair-focused treatments without the risk of heat-induced irritation or excessive sun exposure. Our team may recommend:

• SRA skin rejuvenation for sun damage and redness

• Laser hair removal using the Elos Plus by Syneron Candela

• Medi-facial peels to stimulate renewal and support hydration

All treatments are carried out by qualified laser and dermal therapists, cosmetic nurses, or our nurse practitioner, ensuring clinical safety and optimal results.
