Combat Dry Winter Skin with a Hydrating Facial

Skin feeling a little flaky? Between the cold temperatures outside and the dry, humid indoor air, your skin may be dry and dull. A hydrating facial might be just what you need. Read on to learn more.

Cold temperatures, harsh winds, and indoor heating take a toll on your skin during winter. If your complexion feels tight, flaky, or dull, your skin is craving hydration.

Facial serums and thick lotions aren’t your only option, though. At RefineU Med Spa in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, our experts combat dry winter skin with hydrating facials.

Read on as we share how a hydrating facial might be just what your skin craves.

Why winter dries out your skin

When the air outside is dry and humidity drops, your skin loses moisture faster than it can replenish it. Combine that with long, hot showers and heating systems that zap even more hydration, and it’s no wonder winter skin often feels rough or irritated.

Not to mention, these triggers can damage your skin barrier.

Common signs of dehydration include:

Flakiness or peeling
Tightness or discomfort
Dull or uneven tone
Fine lines that appear more pronounced
Rough or textured patches

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to give your skin a moisture boost.

How facials can help

A hydrating facial is like a tall drink of water for your skin. This soothing treatment infuses your skin with nourishing serums rich in antioxidants, humectants (like hyaluronic acid), and vitamins to restore moisture and strengthen your skin barrier.

What to expect during your facial

Although our facials at RefineU Med Spa are customizable, they all contain three basic steps: cleansing, exfoliation, and nourishing.

Here’s what you can expect during your treatment:

Gentle cleansing to remove buildup and prep your skin
Exfoliation to slough off dead cells and enhance product absorption
A hydrating mask and serums that deliver deep moisture
Soothing massage to increase circulation and promote a healthy glow

The result? Smooth, plump, and radiant skin that looks and feels refreshed.

Why choose a professional facial

Daily moisturizers are an essential part of an at-home skin care routine, but professional treatments go deeper. A hydrating facial at RefineU Med Spa delivers concentrated ingredients that penetrate your skin more effectively than at-home care alone.

Not to mention, our experienced providers customize each facial to your unique skin type, whether you’re dry, sensitive, or a combination.

How to keep your glow all winter long

After your facial, continue supporting your skin with a gentle cleanser, daily SPF (yes, even in winter!), and a rich moisturizer. Drinking plenty of water and using a humidifier can also help keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

Most people can treat themselves to a monthly facial since that aligns well with the skin’s 27-day cell renewal schedule. Call us today at 405-369-8840 to refresh your winter skin.
