Which facial does your skin need in winter?

winter skincare guide

Winter can be one of the toughest months for your skin. Cold outdoor temperatures, dry indoor heating and reduced circulation can leave your complexion feeling tight, dull and fatigued.

If your usual skincare routine suddenly isn’t delivering results, your skin may be asking for something more targeted.

At Champneys, our expert therapists understand how seasonal changes affect the skin. This winter skincare guide will help you discover which Champneys facial treatment your skin needs in winter, so you can restore hydration, radiance and balance during the colder months.

Why Does Skin Need Extra Care in Winter?

Winter weather weakens the skin barrier, slows cell renewal and reduces moisture levels. Common winter skin concerns include:

  • Dryness and dehydration 
  • Dull, lacklustre complexion 
  • Uneven skin tone and pigmentation 
  • Fine lines appearing more pronounced 
  • Loss of firmness and elasticity 

Choosing the right winter facial treatment can make all the difference – helping your skin recover, repair and glow again. 


1.Hydrating Facial

For dry, dull and stressed winter skin

Cold weather and central heating strip moisture from the skin, often leaving it tight, flaky and uncomfortable. A deeply hydrating facial replenishes lost moisture and restores softness and glow. 

Champneys 100 Years Young Facial

This indulgent treatment floods the skin with moisture while encouraging complete relaxation through guided meditation. Skin is deeply cleansed, intensely hydrated and left visibly smoother, plumper and more radiant – the perfect reset for stressed winter skin. 

Best for: Dry, dehydrated, dull or tired skin 
Winter benefit: Rebuilds moisture levels and strengthens the skin barrier

2.Brightening Facial

For uneven tone and winter dullness

During winter, the skin’s natural renewal process slows, leading to uneven pigmentation and a lack of luminosity. Brightening facials work to restore clarity and radiance. 

Natura Bissé Diamond Luminous Facial

Powered by advanced active ingredients and gentle enzymes, this facial helps reduce pigmentation, smooth texture and enhance luminosity. The result is visibly brighter skin with a more even tone and a diamond-like glow – even in the depths of winter. 

Best for: Uneven skin tone, pigmentation, dull complexion 
Winter benefit: Restores brightness when skin looks flat and tired

3.Anti-Ageing Facial

For fine lines, wrinkles and loss of firmness

Cold temperatures can make fine lines appear more noticeable as skin becomes drier and less elastic. An anti-ageing facial supports cell renewal and boosts firmness.

Clarins Precious Luxury Facial Ritual

This luxurious ritual combines potent Clarins formulas with expert massage techniques to deliver instant plumping and lifting. Skin feels firmer, smoother and visibly rejuvenated, with a radiant, youthful glow.

Best for: Fine lines, loss of firmness, mature skin
Winter benefit: Supports collagen production and restores vitality

4.Repair Facial

For skin needing recovery and revitalisation

Circulation naturally slows during winter, affecting skin tone and elasticity. Repair-focused facials stimulate blood flow and support the skin’s natural healing process.

Proverb Skin Workout Facial

Using natural and organic ingredients, this innovative facial incorporates face workout techniques to stimulate circulation, boost collagen and improve facial contours. It’s both results-driven and deeply relaxing – ideal for winter recovery.

5.Personalised Facial

When your skin needs a tailored approach
