Winter in Melbourne may bring cozy nights and hot drinks, but for your skin? It often means dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. Cold outdoor air, indoor heating, and wind exposure all strip your skin of its natural moisture barrier, leaving it dull, flaky, and more prone to redness or inflammation.

At ReflectorN, we take a personalised approach to skin health. We understand that winter skin needs more than just hydration—it needs repair, calm, and protection. That’s why we’ve curated a collection of advanced, nurse-led facials perfect for this season. Whether you’re battling dryness, redness, or just want to maintain a radiant glow, here’s our guide to the best facials to get at ReflectorN during winter.

1. Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial – Winter Hydration Hero

When your skin is dehydrated and looking dull, this treatment is your ultimate saviour. The Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial infuses a powerful combination of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants deep into the skin using pressurised oxygen. It’s safe for all skin types—even sensitive—and provides instant, visible results.

What it does:

Deeply hydrates and plumps
Calms dry, irritated skin
Improves the look of fine lines and dullness
Leaves skin smooth, dewy, and luminous

Perfect before a special event, holiday, or anytime your skin needs a moisture boost with zero downtime.

2. Enzyme Facial – Gentle Exfoliation for Dry, Flaky Skin

During winter, dry patches and build-up of dead skin cells can make your skin look uneven and feel rough. Our Enzyme Facial is the perfect solution to gently slough away dead skin while nourishing and refreshing the complexion.

Why it’s perfect for winter:

Uses natural fruit enzymes to dissolve dry, flaky skin
Brightens and smooths without harsh exfoliation
Prepares your skin to better absorb serums and moisturisers

This treatment is ideal as a first step in your winter skin routine to reveal a healthy, fresh layer underneath—without causing irritation.

3. Firming Peptide Mask – Strengthen and Support Your Skin Barrier

Your skin’s barrier function is its first line of defence—especially important in winter when environmental stress is high. The Firming Peptide Mask is designed to help strengthen the skin barrier, firm the complexion, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and fatigue.

Benefits include:

Rich in peptides and antioxidants
Strengthens and restores the skin’s protective barrier
Improves elasticity and firmness
Leaves skin feeling lifted, calm, and resilient

This treatment is fantastic if your skin feels weakened or reactive from the cold and dry air.

4. Oxygen RX Facial – Soothe Redness and Irritation from Dry Heat

If you're noticing flushed cheeks, broken capillaries, or general sensitivity this winter, it could be a sign of reactive skin due to dry heat. The Oxygen RX Facial is a unique treatment that uses a controlled oxygen application to calm redness, kill acne-causing bacteria, and improve circulation.

Best for:

Redness and rosacea-prone skin
Skin stressed by heaters or environmental changes
Calming inflammation without stripping moisture

It leaves your skin refreshed, balanced, and visibly calmer—a great option for anyone suffering from heat-induced flare-ups or winter sensitivity.

Combine and Customise: Your Skin, Your Treatment

At ReflectorN, we believe facials should never be one-size-fits-all. Winter skin challenges are unique to each person, which is why we often combine treatments for maximum results. For example:

Pair the Enzyme Facial with the Intraceuticals Oxygen for hydration and exfoliation.
Add a Firming Peptide Mask at the end of your Oxygen RX to restore and strengthen your barrier.

All treatments are tailored by our experienced cosmetic nurse, Sunny Greig, to meet your individual skin needs. We use medical-grade, skin-loving ingredients in a peaceful, private setting—always with your comfort in mind.
