Winter Beauty Transitions: How to Care for Your Nails and Brows in Colder Weather

As the seasons change and the crisp chill of winter sets in, our skin, nails, and even our brows begin to feel the effects. The drop in temperature, indoor heating, and harsher winds can all leave skin feeling dry and dull, nails more brittle, and hair more prone to dehydration. This is the perfect time to reset your beauty routine — focusing on nourishment, hydration, and thoughtful care to keep you glowing all season long.

At Nails & Brows Mayfair, we believe that beauty starts with balance — and winter is the time to restore it. Here’s how to adapt your treatments and rituals to protect and enhance your natural beauty throughout the colder months.

Winter can be tough on your skin barrier. Central heating, combined with chilly air outside, saps the skin of moisture — leading to tightness, flaking, and sensitivity. To combat this, it’s essential to switch to richer, more nourishing textures in your daily skincare.

Opt for hydrating serums and face oils that strengthen and lock in moisture. We recommend scheduling a professional facial to deeply rehydrate and rejuvenate your complexion. The Beauty Edit Mayfair Signature Facial — available exclusively at our Mayfair boutique — delivers results through tailored techniques, botanical actives, and a focus on glow-restoration that’s perfect for this time of year.

Brows can become dry and unruly during the winter months, especially if you’re using heated styling tools or spending time in low humidity environments. A little extra care goes a long way.

Between appointments, use a conditioning brow gel or setter to keep hairs nourished and in place. The Beauty Edit Mayfair Brow Filler and Brow Setter are rich in natural waxes and emollients, designed to define while hydrating. Regular brow shaping or tinting at our boutique will help maintain your natural shape, giving your face instant polish even on minimal makeup days.

Cold weather can make nails more prone to splitting, peeling, or breaking — not to mention the drying effect of constant hand washing and sanitiser use. The best winter nail care routine focuses on hydration and protection.

Regular manicures not only keep nails tidy but also stimulate circulation in the nail bed, promoting healthy growth. At Nails & Brows Mayfair, our nail specialists focus on nail health first, using nourishing oils and cuticle treatments to restore suppleness. Between visits, apply a rich hand cream and cuticle oil daily — particularly before bed — to help your hands stay soft and youthful despite the cold.

Winter is the ideal time to indulge in treatments that strengthen and replenish. Here are our top seasonal picks:

• Brow Tint & Shape – Refresh your look with expertly defined brows that enhance your facial features, even when your makeup routine is more minimal.

• Nourishing Manicure – A deeply hydrating treatment that softens cuticles and strengthens nails.

• Lash Lift – Perfect for opening the eyes on darker mornings, giving a naturally lifted, wide-awake look.

• Beauty Edit Mayfair Signature Facial – An exclusive treatment designed to repair, hydrate, and renew your skin after exposure to the elements.

The best winter beauty routines are those that feel restorative rather than reactive. Instead of waiting for dryness or dullness to appear, invest in regular maintenance. Consistent care — from monthly brow appointments to weekly nail rituals — will ensure your skin and features look and feel their best all season long.

At Nails & Brows Mayfair, our expert therapists are on hand to guide you through your winter beauty transition — from personalised brow shaping and nourishing manicures to bespoke facial recommendations through Beauty Edit Mayfair.
