“Outside the chill winds dry out your complexion, inside central heating doubles up on the negatives. To avoid aggravating skin conditions and signs of ageing it is vital to lock in moisture and rebalance your acid mantle with HA. Dr. Sam Asculai, Visible Youth’s Chief Scientist.
Winter Skincare Threats: Shield Your Skin – Winter Made Simple.
The crisp, dry winds outside strip away moisture, while indoor central heating compounds the problem by creating a dehydrating environment. This combination can leave skin feeling dry, dull, and irritated. Thereby exacerbating conditions such as redness, sensitivity, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
To protect your complexion against Winter skincare threats, it’s vital to lock in moisture and restore balance to your skin’s natural barrier.
At Visible Youth we specifically formulated to protect your skin from winters skincare threats and beyond. This advanced skincare line is designed to deliver pure, medical-grade hyaluronic acid that works to hydrate and rejuvenate even the most stressed skin.
Each molecule of HA used by Visible Youth™ is capable of holding up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. Thus ensuring deep hydration that replenishes moisture lost to cold air and central heating. But Visible Youth goes beyond just hydration. Captured within each HA molecule is a unique skin-regenerating biomaterial and natural actives that address specific seasonal skin threats.
Winter Skincare Threats and Tips
How to take a bath
It’s naturally tempting to soak chilled to the bone bodies in a long hot bath. However if the temperature is too hot or you stay in for too long it can break down lipid barriers, remove natural oils and dehydrate the skin. Regular bathers should aim for no more than 15 minutes in warm, not hot, water. Once out don’t dry off too thoroughly, pat dry your skin then trap the residue water into your skin by applying moisturiser immediately.
Rehydrate your rooms
Central heating dries out the air and can make an aggressive attack on your complexion, so consider a humidifier. Alternatively, bowls of water near radiators can release moisture into the air. House plants naturally release water through their leaves, a process known as transpiration, and they’re beautiful.
Dab don’t rub
Rubbing can pull at your skin and damage your complexion’s fragile structure. Dabbing is not only a relaxing massage technique it increases circulation which can reduce puffiness. Dabbing can also help your skin absorb moisturisers, however the Skin Tech Lab behind Visible Youth™ has made a revolutionary scientific breakthrough transcending absorption. Actives are captured in the optimum weight molecule of hyaluronic acid, measured in kilodaltons. Each molecule can penetrate the dermis and reach precisely where it is needed, not too shallow, not too deep.
Acid mantle winter protection
This fragile microbiome is our first protection against dehydration caused by trans epidermal water loss. First advice is to be gentle with your cleansing. Secondly unlike other HA formulas, Visible Youth™ only use pure medical grade hyaluronic acid formulations. These are close to the natural pH of your skin, so it is a scientifically proven aid to rebalance and protect the acid mantle.
Good drinks
It might be tempting to sip a warming whisky in wintery evenings but all alcohol is bad for your skin. As a vasodilator, alcohol causes blood vessels to dilate which gives you a false sensation of warmth, at the same time it also dehydrates your skin. Nothing is better than plenty of pure fresh water. An alternative winter warmer is honey, lemon juice and ginger with some hot water. Lemon eliminates toxins and reduces skin inflammation meanwhile ginger strengthens your immunity.
Follow a moisturising skincare routine
Adapting your skincare routine to include more moisturising and protective products can help mitigate these effects and maintain healthy skin during winter.

HYALURONIC ACID (HA) AS A MOISTURISER
Hyaluronic acid plays a pivotal role in moisturising our skin making it a key weapon against Winter skincare threats:
HIGH WATER RETENTION: Hyaluronic acid is capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water providing intense hydration. It helps retain that moisture in the skin, alleviating dryness, and promotes healing.
SKIN BARRIER SUPPORT: It strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, helping to retain moisture and keep skin plump.
DEEP HYDRATION: Penetrates the skin’s surface to hydrate deep layers, improving overall skin texture and elasticity.
REDUCED MOISTURE LOSS: Forms a protective layer on the skin, reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).
Choosing products containing HA can help us master moisturising and weaponise our skincare routine against Winters skincare threats.
THE ROLE OF HYOGLASS™ TECHNOLOGY
The Visible Youth™ daily skin care routine has been specifically designed to provide cumulative and longer acting results. Each product works in synergy to target, lock-in and release its powerful skin health ingredients precisely where wrinkles are formed.
Hyoglass™ technology fuses a pure molecule of medical grade Hyaluronic Acid with Visible Youth’s unique Bioactive Glass, and powerful natural ingredients, for precision delivery into the deeper dermis.
Visible Youth Hydrating & Nourishing Replenishing Cleanser combines innovative technology with Seabuckthorn Berry Oil leaving skin cleansed, nourished, and hydrated without stripping its natural moisture barrier.
For instance, the Visible Youth Multi-Action Eye Serum contains Lupin Seed Extract, which stimulates lymph drainage. Therefore reducing puffiness and dark circles under the eyes—one of the most common concerns during the colder months.
Similarly, the Visible Youth Multi-Peptide Super Serum features Oat Lipids , a natural emollient that strengthens the skin’s barrier and locks in moisture.
Our Visible Youth Moisture Shield is packed with Dandelion and White Willow to add hydration and combat environmental aggressors such as pollution and free radicals.
Following a moisturising skincare routine is your best weapon against Winter skincare threats.
