Winter is the time for restoration of the summer bustling and preparation for the anticipated activity of the warmer months. While your body recuperates during this down season, why not give your skin the same benefits? Winter is ideal for restorative facials because the cooler, less sunny weather allows for better healing from more intensive treatments by reducing sun sensitivity, while simultaneously combating the harshness of winter with deep hydration, improved circulation, and barrier repair for radiant spring skin. At Sobel Skin, we offer numerous facials in Manhattan to help your skin look better than ever. Here are our top facial services to schedule for winter so that you can feel fresh for spring.

Hydrafacial
Hydrafacials are a prime facial to schedule in winter since it merges soothing and invigorating spa therapies with advanced medical technology to achieve instant, lasting results. A treatment is for all skin types, hydrafacials utilize a unique tip that features multiple abrasive edges to exfoliate the skin, dislodge, and remove impurities while simultaneously introducing
hydrating skin solutions and potent antioxidants.
It’s a multi-step, non-invasive treatment that provides deep cleaning, exfoliation, and serum infusion for clearer, more radiant, and hydrated skin with no downtime. By combining mechanical exfoliation with a vacuum to remove dead cells and unclog pores, hydrafacials simultaneously deliver moisturizing and antioxidant serums tailored to specific skin needs, making it optimal for protection against the drying winter air.
Vitamin C Environmental Protection Treatment
Ideal for winter, our Vitamin C Environmental Protection Treatment is a preventative and restorative treatment using our revolutionary transepidermal Vitamin C full face mask. An add-on to a basic facial, this unique treatment offers the most direct delivery of potent antioxidants to the skin to neutralize free radical damage for a younger, more hydrated skin texture.
At the core of the treatment is the application of potent antioxidants, primarily Vitamin C, which neutralize free radicals caused by exposure to environmental stressors like UV radiation, pollution, and even stress. This “environmental protection” helps prevent cellular damage and premature aging, just in time to prep for spring and summer. This facial also aids in fading dark spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion. Also perfect for winter, this facial addition includes other hydrating ingredients (like hyaluronic acid) and anti-inflammatory agents to soothe irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and promote faster healing.
Sensitive Skin Facial
This facial is for skin that is sensitive or easily irritated, which is prevalent during the harsh winter months. The products that are specially chosen to soothe and nourish sensitive skin during this treatment will reduce redness and irritation, resulting in an overall hydrated glow. Ideal for skin types that need that extra TLC, this facial is a gentle, customized treatment that employs hypoallergenic products and techniques to calm inflammation, hydrate, and strengthen the skin barrier, focusing on soothing ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and hyaluronic acid, while avoiding harsh exfoliation or aggressive procedures that could trigger redness or irritation.
Deluxe Clarifying and Rejuvenating Facial
Pollution, makeup, and surface oils can clog pores, leaving skin looking dull, rough, and tired. To optimize your skin condition, this deluxe facial uses steam therapy to open pores, which allows cleansers and moisturizers to penetrate. Additionally, an enzyme peel exfoliates and decongests pores to improve the texture of the skin.
This exfoliation is then followed by an extraction process that gently removes persistent impurities. A relaxing facial massage and customized mask complete this treatment for truly clear, glowing skin. An advanced, comprehensive skincare treatment that combines deep cleansing and pore detoxification with anti-aging and revitalizing techniques, use the downtime of winter to improve your overall skin health and appearance.
