Winter Skincare Tips for Radiant Skin in Melbourne
Living in Craigieburn during winter means colder winds, indoor heating, and drier air — all of which can leave your skin dull, tight, or flaky. But with just a few simple changes, you can keep your skin soft, glowing, and hydrated throughout the colder months.
Here are our top winter skincare tips designed for Craigieburn’s unique climate.
1. Switch to a Cream-Based Cleanser
Foaming cleansers can be too harsh in winter. A cream or gel-based cleanser helps clean your skin without stripping natural oils.

2. Use a Rich Moisturiser Twice a Day
A lightweight lotion might not be enough in winter. Choose a thicker moisturiser with ingredients like:
- Hyaluronic acid – attracts moisture
- Ceramides – repair the skin barrier
- Shea butter – deeply nourishes
Look for these in over-the-counter products or dermatologist-approved skincare .
3. Avoid Hot Water – Use Lukewarm Instead
It’s tempting to take hot showers, but hot water strips your skin of its natural oils. Use lukewarm water to prevent dryness and irritation, especially on the face and hands.
4. Apply SPF Every Morning
Yes, even in winter! UV rays still affect your skin during cloudy or rainy days. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning before stepping out.
5. Book a Hydrating Facial
Professional facials help restore hydration, boost circulation, and remove dead skin cells — perfect for refreshing your skin mid-winter.
