London winters are unique. Between the crisp, freezing air near the Thames and the dry heat of the Underground, your skin is under constant environmental stress. At Meridian Spa, we see a surge in barrier compromise during these months. The mixture of city soot and biting northern winds can strip away the natural lipids that keep your skin supple and glowing.
The Science of Winter Hydration
It is a common misconception that heavier creams are the only answer. True hydration requires a two-step approach: drawing moisture in and locking it down. We recommend ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid to act as a humectant, and Ceramides to repair the skin's physical barrier.
Our Seasonal Recommendations
To combat the dullness that winter brings, we suggest incorporating an antioxidant serum to neutralize urban pollution and switching to a milk-based cleanser that won't disrupt your pH levels.
