At ebb & flow Day Spa we get it. Even though it’s not snowing, Queensland’s winter can still impact your wellness and skin. To help combat this, we recommend changing up your skin routine when the weather changes. We know wellness is more than skin deep, which is why we also suggest a visit to our infrared sauna and magnesium spa, followed by a hydrating body treatment. This could change your entire outlook on the crisp season!

Our top winter skin and wellness tips:

1. Moisturise regularly: Cold weather can lead to dry and dehydrated skin. Use a rich moisturiser that suits your skin type to prevent moisture loss and keep your skin hydrated.

2. Use a gentle cleanser: Foaming cleansers can dry out your skin. Switch to a mild and hydrating cleanser to gently cleanse your face without stripping away your skin’s natural oils.

3. Stay hydrated: Despite the cooler temperatures, it's important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. We suggest 2 litres of water per day.

4. Protect your skin from the sun: Although the sun may not feel as intense during winter, harmful UVA and UVB rays are still present. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 everyday to protect your skin and combat ageing. Always wear a hat outdoors.

5. Avoid hot showers: Hot showers may feel tempting in winter, but they strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness. Use lukewarm water instead and limit your shower time.

6. Eat a balanced diet: Include foods rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants in your diet. Winter is the perfect time for healthy hearty soups and warming herbal teas.

7. Change up your skincare for winter: Stick your daily skincare routine, including cleansing, moisturising, and applying sunscreen but add in hydrating serums and calming, moisturising masks. A regular skincare routine is key to maintaining healthy skin.

8. Stay active: Regular exercise improves blood circulation, which is beneficial for your overall health and skin. Stay active during the winter months.

9. A regular massage and facial: Does wonders for not only your skin but your sense of wellbeing.
