Winter truly is a time for restoration. We naturally spend more time in doors, eat richer and more nourishing foods and take things a little slower. It’s not just your mind and body that requires restoration at this time of the year however – it’s also your skin and your hair. With the harsh sun and the outdoorsy lifestyle gone for a few months, Winter is the time to make the serious changes to your skin and your hair.
SKIN
So, the cooler months is the time to get down to serious skin programming whether you’re planning your annual Winter series of maintenance peels (choose from a series of 3 or 6 peels) to ensure your skin stays in prime condition or you’re at the beginning stage of wanting to combat skin concerns and work towards your skin goals by initiating a series of micro skin needling or IPL treatments or perhaps even starting your own bespoke skin program with a mix of modalities suitable for your skin. Our treatments offer incredible transformations to the skin and by having them in winter any down time works well considering it is not beach weather and there are generally less social occasions in the winter period. For those of you wanting to start IPL hair removal, the winter clothes attire fits in perfectly with these treatments, particularly for leg hair removal as your legs are generally covered up in the cooler months adding a layer of protection from UVA and UVB rays. You do have to be really careful in summer having micro needling and IPL treatments, so there’s a lot less to think about in winter and you are less likely to suffer damage from the sun and reverse any of the good work done in clinic.
IPL for Hair removal can take a number of sessions to deliver that silky smooth skin we all want! Whether you’re getting IPL for Pigmentation, Vascular treatments or Hair removal, we encourage you to get your IPL treatments started as we lead into winter so that you will have reached your skin goals or be hair free by next Summer. Book a skin or IPL consult today where you can ask us all the questions and have a good understanding of what can be achieved.
SPA
In Spa, winter sees a huge rise in warming body treatments. Whether it’s warm oil massages, aromatherapy soaks or whole-body scrubs, we love to indulge our clients in this time of restoration. Winter is a great time to treat yourself to a beautiful treatment in spa, then head home and snuggle up on the couch and just relax. A body brushing or scrub treatment encourages increased blood flow to aid in healing and skin firmness over your whole body, while a soak is an indulgent treat that can be accompanied by something more restorative, like aromatherapy or combined with any of our other body treatments. One of the best recommendations from our team of therapists is to book your soak or massage late in the day on either a Friday or Saturday afternoon so you can have your treatment and then head home to relax – hopefully with a glass of wine – and simply slip into the weekend. It’s an indulgent way to relax and restore your body and mind.
HAIR
The sun, ocean and swimming pools can have massive effects on our hair during the summer months and winter is the optimum time to restore and renew even the most damaged locks. Deep conditioning treatments allow you to deeply repair and strengthen the inner structure of the hair, and so during winter, we recommend indulging in one of our intensive repair leave-in treatments or the Davines Circle Mask Ritual treatments that are clinically proven to remedy any hair issue. A scalp massage is another way to really help your hair recover – by directing more blood flow to the head through massage, you encourage healing in the hair follicle, meaning that the new hair growth is stronger and nutrient rich . Both of these treatments can be delivered alongside Skin Clinic or Day Spa treatments
This winter, indulge in the restorative powers of the Winter Wind Down. Choose from our two popular relaxation treatments, either the warming thermal massage or the thermal body brushing and mineral mud wrap. Either choice is then combined with a shampoo, scalp massage and style blow-dry to leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated while leaving Museo looking absolutely restored.
