Winter Skin Care Tips from Pure Eco Spa & Boutique
Nourish. Protect. Glow all season long. Winter can be beautiful — cozy sweaters, fireside nights, and that crisp Rhode Island air —but your skin might not agree. Cold temperatures, indoor heat, and low humidity all pull moisture from the skin, leaving it feeling tight, flaky, and dull.
At Pure Eco Spa & Boutique, we believe your skin deserves as much care in the colder months as the rest of you. Here are a few Pure-approved tips to help you stay hydrated, radiant, and balanced all season long.
1. Strengthen Your Skin Barrier
Think of your skin barrier as your natural winter coat — it locks in hydration and keeps irritants out. Switch to a cream or oil-based cleanser instead of foaming or gel formulas. Add a hydrating serum or facial oil before your moisturizer to boost suppleness, and always apply moisturizer within a minute of washing your face to trap in moisture.
Spa Tip: Our customized facials om/organicfacialsand LED therapy help strengthen the skin’s barrier and calm redness caused by winter dryness.
2. Add Moisture Back to the Air
Central heating and space heaters create a warm environment, but they also zap moisture from the air — and your skin. Using a humidifier in your bedroom or main living space is one of the easiest ways to restore hydration. It helps your skin (and sinuses!) stay comfortable while you sleep and prevents that tight, dehydrated feeling in the morning.
Spa Tip: Combine a nightly humidifier with a nourishing facial oil or night cream for best results — it’s like a mini at-home spa treatment while you rest.
3. Hydrate from Within
Hydration doesn’t stop at the surface — it starts inside. Sip warm herbal teas and water throughout the day, eat moisture-rich foods like cucumber, citrus, and avocado, and avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol, which can dehydrate.
Spa Tip: The Infrared Sauna is a gentle way to encourage circulation, support detoxification, and help your skin absorb nutrients more effectively.
4. Gently Exfoliate (But Don’t Overdo It)
Dead skin cells can build up faster in winter, causing dullness and product buildup. Gentle exfoliation keeps your glow alive — but balance is key. Use a mild exfoliant 1–2 times a week to help other products penetrate, and avoid aggressive scrubs or acids that can compromise your barrier.
Spa Tip: Try our Seasonal Glow Facial or Body Polish Treatments to refresh the skin and boost luminosity safely.
5. Don’t Skip SPF
Even on cloudy, snowy days, UV rays are still present — and can even reflect off snow! Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, especially on your face, neck, and hands.
Spa Tip: Ask your esthetician about mineral sunscreens that protect and nourish.
6. Care for Your Hands, Lips, and Feet
The driest areas often get the least attention — but they need it most! Apply hand cream after every wash, keep a lip balm nearby at all times, and treat yourself to a winter spa manicure and pedicure to hydrate and seal in moisture.
Spa Tip: Our High Performance Polish manicures nourish nails and cuticles withou toxins — a perfect winter pick-me-up!
7. Schedule Regular “Me Time”
Skin thrives when stress levels drop. Massage, steam, and gentle touch all help boost circulation, lymph flow, and relaxation.
Spa Tip: Book a Pure Eco Winter Ritual — a customized session combining infrared sauna, massage, and a seasonal facial to restore balance and hydration.
