As the seasons change, many of us notice that our skin changes too. When the temperatures drop and the air turns crisp, skin can feel drier, tighter, and less radiant than usual. For women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, these shifts can be even more noticeable — especially if you’re also navigating the changes that come with perimenopause or menopause.
The good news is that your skin doesn’t have to feel uncomfortable or look dull during the colder months. With a few simple adjustments to your routine — and a little extra care — it’s possible to keep your complexion feeling soft, hydrated and healthy, whatever the weather.
At Sculpted Skincare, we’re passionate about helping women across Essex, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire care for their skin year-round. Below, we’ll share practical tips for winter skincare, along with a professional treatment option that many of our clients find makes a real difference.
Why Does Skin Change in Colder Weather?
Cooler air holds less moisture, central heating dries the environment indoors, and chilly winds can strip away the skin’s natural oils. Mature skin — which naturally produces less collagen, elastin and sebum — can become:
Dry and dehydrated
More prone to fine lines and wrinkles
Less radiant and more uneven in tone
Tight, itchy or sensitive
Winter Skincare Tips for Women Over 40
To protect and nourish your skin during the colder months, try these small but effective adjustments:
Switch to a richer moisturiser with ceramides, hyaluronic acid and nourishing oils.
Protect your skin barrier by using gentle, hydrating cleansers instead of harsh foaming ones.
Don’t skip SPF — even on grey days, UV rays contribute to skin ageing.
Stay hydrated from within by drinking water and enjoying water-rich foods.
Exfoliate gently to lift away dull, dead skin cells without stripping natural oils.
When You Need a Little Extra Support
Sometimes, even with the best routine, our skin needs more help to stay firm, lifted and glowing through winter. This is where our non-invasive 3D Lift treatment can make a real difference.
Using a combination of microcurrent (to gently lift and tone facial muscles) and radiofrequency (to stimulate deeper collagen production), the 3D Lift helps restore vitality, smoothness and definition. Many women describe it as a workout for the face — relaxing, pain-free, and with natural results that build over a course of treatments.
One of our clients recently shared that she felt her friends kept telling her she looked “glowing and healthy” after her sessions. For her, the compliments were more than skin deep — they gave her a real boost of confidence at a time when she was feeling the effects of perimenopause.
If you’d like to find out more about how the 3D Lift could support your skin this winter, you can book an Initial Consultation & Trial Treatment and experience it for yourself.
