Winter Skincare Essentials
Start your winter skincare routine with a medical-grade cleanser to remove impurities while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture. Using a hydrating toner can help restore balance and prepare your skin for the next steps in your routine.


Boost with Vitamin C for Brighter Skin
Adding vitamin C-based skincare to your routine may help brighten skin tone, support the skin’s natural defences, and improve overall texture. It is also known for its antioxidant properties, which can contribute to a healthier-looking complexion during the colder months.

Winter Hydration Heroes for Healthy Skin

Keeping your skin hydrated and supported during Guernsey’s winter is important for maintaining a healthy glow. Moisturisers and serums containing hydrating ingredients can help prevent dryness and reinforce the skin barrier.

Some key ingredients to consider:

  • Hyaluronic Acid & Glycerin – Humectants that help retain moisture and keep skin feeling plump.
  • Ceramides – Help support the skin barrier, which may be affected by cold weather.
  • Vitamin E & Niacinamide – Known for their nourishing and soothing properties, helping to keep skin balanced.


Winter Sunscreen: A Must for Guernsey Skincare
Even in Guernsey’s cooler months, UV rays remain present and can contribute to skin ageing and pigmentation. Using a broad-spectrum SPF as part of your daily routine may help protect against long-term skin damage.


Considering Pigmentation Treatments in Winter?
Winter can be an ideal time to consider pigmentation treatments, as lower sun exposure may help reduce irritation. Chemical peels and skincare solutions may help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone. If you’re considering a treatment, a consultation with a Guernsey skin clinic can help determine the best approach based on your skin type.
