Skincare Treatments You Should Get in Winter

New York winters are notoriously harsh on the skin. Between the biting wind chill tunnels created by the tall buildings and the aggressive, drying heat of indoor radiators, your skin is constantly being stripped of its natural moisture.

In your late 30s and beyond, the skin’s ability to bounce back from these environmental stressors slows down. This is the season when your routine needs to pivot from simple maintenance to active restoration.

Here are the four treatments I recommend at Mode Beauty NYC to rejuvenate your complexion and fortify your skin barrier this winter.

1. Gentle Lactic Acid Peels

Forget the "red and peeling" stereotypes of the past. You don’t need harsh, multi-day downtime to see a total refresh. I frequently recommend Lactic Acid peels during the colder months because Lactic is a powerhouse humectant.

Instead of just stripping the skin, it actually draws moisture into the deeper layers, plumping and hydrating on contact. You’ll leave the studio with an instant glow and zero downtime.

2. Microneedling

Winter is officially "Microneedling Season." Because this treatment requires minimal sun exposure during the healing process, now is the ideal time to commit to a series.

Microneedling triggers your body’s natural collagen production, addressing fine lines and texture from the inside out. It’s an investment in your skin’s long-term structure, ensuring that by the time spring arrives, your skin is firmer and more resilient.

3. Microcurrent

If your skin is feeling a bit "tired" or lacking its usual lift, Microcurrent is the answer. Often called a "natural facelift," this treatment uses low-grade electrical currents to "workout" the facial muscles.

It’s the perfect winter pick-me-up for a dull complexion. It defines the jawline, lifts the brows, and improves circulation, giving you a refreshed, wide-awake look without a single needle.

4. The Cellular Boost: LED Light Therapy

Think of LED therapy as a way to "recharge" your skin cells. In the winter, when our skin (and our moods) can feel a bit sluggish, LED therapy provides an instant reduction in redness and a noticeable boost in radiance. It’s a quiet, intentional moment of rest that leaves your skin looking vibrant and healthy.
