What Happens to Your Skin in Fall & Winter: Protect, Nourish, and Rejuvenate

As the seasons change, so does your skin. Fall and winter bring cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and indoor heating—all of which can strip moisture, compromise your skin barrier, and lead to dryness, flakiness, and irritation. At SkinMD MedSpa, we help you understand these seasonal changes and offer treatments and products to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and radiant throughout the colder months here in Dearborn, MI.

How Fall & Winter Affect Your Skin

Cold air and low humidity reduce your skin’s natural moisture, often resulting in tightness, dullness, and rough texture. Wind exposure can worsen these effects, leading to redness or sensitivity. Indoor heating further dehydrates the skin and can exacerbate conditions like rosacea or eczema. Additionally, reduced sun exposure may slow your skin’s natural vitamin D production, affecting overall skin health and repair.


In-Office Treatments for Seasonal Skin

Several treatments at SkinMD are particularly effective in fall and winter:


  • VI Peel: This medical-grade chemical peel improves skin tone and texture, reduces pigmentation, and stimulates cell turnover, leaving your skin smoother and brighter. It’s gentle enough for seasonal sensitivity while delivering noticeable results.

  • DiamondGlow®: Perfect for revitalizing dull or dry skin, DiamondGlow® exfoliates, extracts debris, and infuses professional-grade serums, restoring hydration and a healthy glow.

  • Microneedling: This procedure stimulates collagen production to strengthen the skin barrier, repair texture, and enhance the effects of serums and topical treatments, keeping your skin resilient against cold weather stressors.

  • Customized Facials: Our luxury facials incorporate techniques like lymphatic drainage, cold globes, and red/blue light therapy, paired with premium products, to hydrate, soothe, and repair skin during the drier months.

Skincare Products to Support Your Skin

At SkinMD, we offer Biologique Recherche and Alastin Skincare®, two science-backed lines designed to maintain skin health year-round:



  • Biologique Recherche uses high-concentration botanical and biotechnological extracts to preserve active ingredients, enhancing the effects of treatments and improving skin resilience.
