Why Does Winter Affect Your Skin?
Winter air lacks humidity, leading to rapid moisture loss from your skin. Coupled with cold winds and indoor heating, this creates the perfect storm for:
- Dryness and Flakiness: Dehydrated skin becomes rough and prone to irritation.
- Dullness: Reduced circulation in colder weather can leave your skin looking tired and lacklustre.
- Sensitivity: Harsh environmental conditions weaken your skin’s barrier, making it more prone to redness and discomfort.
How LED Therapy Helps Winter Skin
LED therapy works by emitting specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate natural repair processes. During winter, this therapy provides much-needed hydration, rejuvenation, and protection. Here’s how:
1. Red Light for Hydration and Anti-Ageing
Red light therapy penetrates deep into the skin to boost collagen production, improve elasticity, and enhance hydration levels. It combats the fine lines and dullness exacerbated by winter dryness, leaving your skin plump and radiant.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy in Winter:
- Increases moisture retention for a smoother texture.
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles caused by dehydration.
- Improves circulation, bringing a natural glow to your complexion.
Near-infrared light promotes cellular repair and regeneration, helping your skin recover from the harsh effects of winter weather. It also soothes redness and inflammation caused by sensitivity.
Benefits of Near-Infrared Light in Winter:
- Reduces redness and irritation from cold winds and dry air.
- Repairs the skin barrier, restoring resilience and hydration.
- Accelerates healing of cracked or flaky areas.
Winter can trigger an increase in oil production for some people, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Blue light therapy targets acne-causing bacteria, keeping your skin clear and balanced despite the season’s challenges.
Benefits of Blue Light Therapy in Winter:
- Keeps breakouts at bay during seasonal oil imbalances.
- Calms inflammation in acne-prone skin.
- Maintains a clear, healthy complexion.

Winter Skincare Tips to Complement LED Therapy
To maximise the benefits of LED therapy during winter, follow these additional skincare tips:

- Lock in Moisture: Follow LED therapy with a rich moisturiser to seal in hydration.
- Protect Your Skin Barrier: Use gentle cleansers and avoid over-exfoliating.
