Winter in Regina arrives with beauty — sparkling frost, cozy nights, holiday gatherings — but your skin often feels the opposite. Between the dry prairie air, indoor heating, wind exposure, and the stress of the festive season, December is the month when skin cries out for help the loudest.

If your face feels tight, flaky, dull, red, or extra sensitive, you’re not alone. Winter compromises the skin barrier faster than any other season, leading to dehydration, irritation, and worsening pigmentation. The good news? With the right treatments and ingredients, winter can actually be the best time to reset, repair, and restore your glow.

At PUR med spa, we’re here to help you look luminous for the holidays with science-backed skincare, advanced laser treatments, and targeted winter rescue routines.

Why Winter Skin Feels So Dull & Dry

Regina’s climate is notoriously harsh on the skin — humidity drops, winds pick up, and most of us spend long hours indoors with dry air circulating.

This combination leads to:

  • A weakened skin barrier

  • Increased redness and irritation

  • Dehydration lines and rough texture

  • Flare-ups of pigment, sun damage and melasma

  • Dullness and tightness

If your products “don’t seem to work” in winter, it’s not you — your barrier is simply struggling.

Step One: Repair the Skin Barrier

Before brightening, anti-aging, or exfoliating, you need a resilient barrier. Otherwise you're applying great skincare on skin that simply can’t use it.

Noon Aesthetics: DermShield® + Hydration Power Players

Noon Aesthetics is known for delivering high-potency active ingredients without irritation, thanks to its patented DermShield® technology — making it ideal for dry, winter-sensitive skin.

Our top winter heroes:

  • Lacto-10 – gentle, hydrating lactic acid to smooth flakiness without over-exfoliating

  • HydroCalming & Vit Complex – boosts hydration and barrier resilience

  • In-Depth Filler Serum – plumps dehydration fine lines

  • C-Vit Brightening Serum – brightens dullness and supports collagen through the dark winter months

A customized Noon routine helps strengthen the barrier while restoring radiance — perfect for December events and photos.

Step Two: Brighten Winter Skin with Nordlys SWT IPL

Winter is the gold standard season for IPL because sun exposure is lower, allowing for safer and more effective pigment correction.

The Nordlys SWT IPL is exclusive to PUR med spa in Saskatchewan and targets:

  • Brown spots

  • Redness and vascular lesions

  • Uneven tone and dullness

  • Sun damage from the summer months

Even a single session can dramatically boost radiance — just in time for holiday gatherings.

Step Three: Hydrate, Glow & Indulge with a Holiday Facial

Cold weather steals moisture — our facials give it back.

Perfect December Treatments at PUR med spa

  • Noon Aesthetics Facial: Hydrating, brightening, and barrier-repairing

  • Dermaplaning Glow Facial: Removes winter dullness + boosts product absorption

  • SkinPen + Lite Hydration Protocol: Leaves skin smooth and refreshed

  • LED Light Therapy: Redness reduction + accelerated healing for sensitive winter skin

These pair beautifully with Noon skincare and IPL for a complete winter glow-up.
