Welcome to the heart of winter, a time when our skin faces its toughest challenges, but also a time of joy and celebration. As the air turns crisp and cold, our skin needs a little extra TLC. The sharp winter winds and dry indoor heating can strip away moisture, leaving our skin feeling dry and looking a little less radiant.
 
At AB Med, we’re here to guide you through maintaining flawless skin even when Jack Frost is nipping at your nose.
 
Before we delve into the rejuvenating treatments, let’s start with some simple yet effective tips to protect and nurture your skin this season:
 
1. Embrace Richer Moisturisers: The colder months often require a switch to more nourishing skincare products. Opt for a richer moisturiser with ingredients like hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated and plump.
2. Hydrate Intelligently: Increase your water intake, and for an extra hydration boost, try dissolving a pinch of Celtic sea salt on your tongue before drinking water. This can help increase the hydration absorption in your cells.
3. Shield Your Skin: Don’t let the winter winds chap your skin. Apply a protective balm to exposed areas to create a barrier against the cold and prevent moisture loss.

In these chilly months, our skin demands special attention. The low humidity and harsh weather can lead to dehydration, causing skin to become flaky, irritated, and more sensitive. This is compounded by the festive season’s whirlwind of social events, late nights, and the occasional overindulgence in holiday treats, all of which can leave our skin looking less than its best.

It’s not just about looking and feeling good for those holiday photos; it’s about nurturing your skin’s health and well-being during these demanding winter days. With the right care and expertise, we can help you keep your skin glowing and healthy, embracing the joy of the season with confidence.

Winter Wonders
As we navigate the winter months, it’s important to choose treatments that not only rejuvenate but also protect our skin. At AB Med, we recommend three key treatments that are perfect for combating the harsh effects of winter and ensuring your skin stays radiant throughout winter. Let’s explore these winter skin saviours:
Profhilo® Treatment
Profhilo® Treatment – The Ultimate Hydration Boost
For deep hydration, look no further than Profhilo®. This cutting-edge treatment rejuvenates the skin by boosting hydration levels and stimulating collagen and elastin production. It’s a gift of health and radiance for your skin, perfect for selfies and gatherings.
 
Here’s what one of our delighted clients, Jenny, had to say about her experience with Profhilo®:
‘After my Perfect Peel treatment, my skin underwent a remarkable transformation, peeling to reveal a brighter, more even skin tone with less prominent scarring. Delighted with the results, I’m looking forward to a secondary peel to further improve my complexion.’
The Perfect Peel® – Your Secret to a Winter Glow
Give yourself the gift of glowing skin this winter with The Perfect Peel®. This peel combats hyperpigmentation and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, ensuring your skin looks youthful and luminous for all your holiday festivities.
 
Dermal Fillers – The Touch of Winter Magic
Enhance your appearance subtly yet effectively with our dermal filler treatments. Designed to restore lost volume and diminish fine lines, these fillers are perfect for a refreshed look that will turn heads at every holiday party. 
 
Remember, winter skincare is more than just treatments. It’s about embracing a routine that includes hydrating well, using quality moisturisers, and shielding your skin from the cold. The holiday season is a time for relaxation and joy, which are just as important for your skin’s health and radiance. Your skin deserves to sparkle like the Christmas lights!
