It’s cold out. The tea is hot. The wine is mulled. The cover-ups are woollen. Winter is here; the mercury has plummeted, as too our skin’s hydration. Parched, flaky and uncomfortably taut – our skin is suffering the cold curse of winter.

With our coats on and scarves tied, now is the time to hygge the hell out of your skin, and what better way than through an indulgent, results-driven facial that delivers a dose beauty cosiness.

Here, three facials on debut, in three of the most decadent skin spaces in Sydney and Melbourne. Like a big cuddle for your face; indulgence is just a hop, step and slather away.

Melanie Grant x Sisley Black Rose Facial

With a client list that reads more like a modelling agency, Melanie Grant is somewhat of a skin whisper. It made perfect sense then, that the inimitable Melanie partner with luxury skincare brand, Sisley, to develop a beautiful new clinical facial using their potent and sensory Black Rose Collection. All three offerings in the Collection – Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask, Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream, Black Rose Precious Face Oil – are included in the uniquely devised treatment, and executed masterfully by Melanie and her accomplished team. The result? Luminous, hydrated and sweet-smelling skin, even when the coldest chill calls.

Available at Melanie Grant Sydney and Melbourne, 2 Bay St, Double Bay, and 1208 High St, Armadale respectively.

Jocelyn Petroni x Bio Effect Facial

If you’re yet to try one of Jocelyn’s facials, you are missing out. Within its halcyon walls, skin sorcery (of the good kind) befalls. As of May, the beautiful Jocelyn dips her magical hands into Icelandic skincare brand BIOEFFECT, and their collaboration has proved dreamlike. Combining the skin artistry of Petroni – including Reiki, Shiatsu and Lymphatic drainage – and the plant-based, restorative ingredients of BIOEFFECT (think Volcanic Ash), the bespoke treatment is just the thing your sad skin craves come winter. A beautifully holistic heal for our skin; we left with a gloriously salubrious guise, not to mention a sublime state of quietude.

Available by request at Jocelyn Petroni, Level 1, 80 Queen St, Woollahra.

All Saints Clinic x Red Carpet Laser Facial

As its namesake suggests, the Red Carpet Laser Facial is luxury – facial-fied. Not confined to exclusive events and the like, it is the perfect antidote to restless winter skin. The treatment begins with a customised antioxidant peel followed by a complexion laser and LED technology, all which increase dermal collagen production, leaving you positively plump and luminous. When the harsh reality of a return to the office beckoned, team GRAZIA were casting compliments in abundance. Glowing? Refined? Rejuvenated? Why thank you.

Available at All Saints Skin Clinic, 50 Bay St, Double Bay.
