Winter changes how our skin behaves — more dryness, more sensitivity, and a lot of guesswork about what will actually help. This February, give your routine a reset with two salon staples: high‑precision eyebrow threadingand Brazilian waxing. Both treatments protect and refine delicate skin, and done right (especially here in Brooklyn Heights by certified professionals) they make staying polished through the colder months simple. Below, we’ll walk through the benefits, aftercare, and how to pick the right studio so your skin looks — and feels — its best.
Cold air and indoor heat can quickly sap skin moisture, leading to a compromised skin barrier. Studies show that up to 70% of individuals experience increased skin dryness in winter, making smarter, gentler care essential.
Winter Skin Fixes: Fight Dryness & Irritation
One of the most common concerns we hear in winter is dry, flaky, or itchy skin. Harsh winds and indoor heating strip moisture and can dull your complexion. These conditions can also aggravate existing issues like eczema or psoriasis, so proactive care matters.

Threading uses a fine cotton thread to remove unwanted brow hair with exceptional control. In winter, that precision is especially useful — threadingtargets hair without pulling at surrounding skin the way some waxing can, minimizing irritation and preserving the skin’s natural lipid barrier. It also gently exfoliates, removing dead skin cells and leaving the brow area smooth, which helps makeup sit better and keeps brows looking sharp even when your skin is drier than usual. This gentle approach is crucial for maintaining skin integrity during colder months.
Threading’s careful approach is kind to sensitive winter skin while delivering a crisp, defined brow shape.
Precision Threading: Defined Brows, Healthier Skin
Threading is prized for removing even the finest hairs from the root, producing clean lines and minimized irritation. When performed with skill, precise methods remove hair without harming nearby skin — a big plus for sensitive or reactive skin types.

Because threading targets only the hair and leaves the surrounding skin intact, it helps preserve your skin’s barrier in colder months. That means less redness, fewer flareups, and better retention of your moisturizers. The result is a fresh, groomed brow area without stripping away the natural oils your skin needs to stay balanced during winter. Dermatologists often recommend threadingfor those with sensitive skin due to its minimal contact with the skin surface.

Brazilian waxing delivers longer‑lasting smoothness and doubles as a gentle exfoliation. Removing dead skin cells helps products sink in more effectively — a real benefit when every layer of hydration counts. The wax’s warmth can also feel soothing on cold days, making the service more comfortable in winter than you might expect. Professional waxing services, when performed correctly, minimizes skin trauma and promotes healthier skin cell turnover.
People keep choosing Brazilian waxing because it reliably delivers smooth skin and longer intervals between sessions. A recent survey indicated that professional waxing remains a top choice for long-term hair removal due to its effectiveness and skin benefits.
Brazilian Waxing: Popular Hair Removal Trends
Interest in Brazilian waxing and laser hair removal has grown, though shaving and depilatory options remain common for their convenience and cost. Each method has trade‑offs; waxing remains a go‑to for lasting results.

Waxing clears away dead skin and helps moisturizers penetrate better — both useful when winter makes skin feel rough. With regular waxing, many people notice finer, sparser regrowth over time, which makes upkeep easier. Done by a professional using gentle products, waxing can keep skin smooth without excessive irritation. This gentle exfoliation also helps prevent ingrown hairs, a common concern with other hair removal methods.
At Brooklyn Brow, we prioritize your skin's health, especially during the sensitive winter months. We exclusively use premium, hypoallergenic hard waxes that are free of harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and parabens. Our organic-certified formulas are designed to adhere only to the hair, not the skin, significantly reducing irritation and redness. Our technicians are trained in advanced waxing techniques to ensure a comfortable experience and superior results, protecting your skin's delicate barrier.
Organic facials add targeted hydration and calming care to your winter routine. By using gentle, plant‑based ingredients, these treatments restore moisture and help balance skin without introducing unnecessary irritants — perfect after a season of wind and indoor heat. The natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in organic ingredients work synergistically to repair and protect the skin barrier.
Organic facials focus on deep hydration and soothing botanicals like aloe, honey, and calming oils. They can restore your skin’s protective barrier, reduce sensitivity, and leave skin feeling supple so your day‑to‑day products perform better through the season. These treatments are particularly effective at combating transepidermal water loss (TEWL), a common issue in dry winter air, ensuring your skin remains plump and resilient. Facial in Brooklyn

Aftercare matters — it keeps irritation low and makes results last. Follow these simple, dermatologist-approved steps after a threadingor waxing appointment:
Consistent aftercare is key to long-term skin health. Continue to moisturize regularly with non-comedogenic products, and consider gentle exfoliation (physical or chemical, depending on skin type) a few days post-treatment to prevent ingrown hairs. Always prioritize sun protection, especially on treated areas, to prevent hyperpigmentation.
Choose organic moisturizers and soothing gels with ingredients like chamomile, calendula, or aloe vera to calm treated skin. Lightweight organic oils like jojoba or argan can hydrate without clogging pores, mimicking the skin's natural sebum. For targeted relief, look for serums containing niacinamide or green tea extract. And if you’re heading outside, use a broad-spectrum organic sunscreen (SPF 30+) to protect vulnerable skin after any treatment.
Here’s what to look for when picking a salon this season to ensure both safety and superior results:

Your first threading visit starts with a brief, personalized consultation about your desired shape, brow goals, and any skin concerns. The threading itself is fast — usually a few minutes — and you’ll feel a light tug rather than a sharp pain. Our skilled technicians ensure precision and comfort. We typically finish with a calming, anti-inflammatory gel or balm to reduce redness, so you leave with precise, natural‑looking brows and minimal post-treatment effects.
Threading is commonly booked every 3–4 weeks depending on how quickly your hair grows and the desired look. Brazilian waxing is often scheduled every 4–6 weeks for best results, allowing hair to reach the optimal length for removal. Sticking to a routine helps prevent irritation, promotes finer regrowth, and keeps skin smooth through the season.
Yes, certain conditions and medications can make these treatments unsuitable. If you have active conditions like eczema, psoriasis, open wounds, sunburn, or recent scarring in the treatment area, it’s best to wait. Certain medications (for example, Retin‑A, Accutane, or strong topical retinoids) can significantly increase skin sensitivity and risk of lifting, so it is imperative to disclose all medications and known allergies or skin sensitivities to your technician during your consultation.
Opt for gentle, organic moisturizers and soothing gels with ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, or calendula, known for their anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Lightweight, non-comedogenic oils such as jojoba or argan are excellent for hydration without clogging pores. Avoid synthetic fragrances, harsh chemicals, and alcohol-based products. Always patch-test any new product on a small area of skin first.
While home threading is possible, it requires significant practice and skill to master. Achieving precise shaping and avoiding mistakes like uneven brows or skin irritation is challenging for beginners. For optimal results, precise shaping, and to minimize risks, we strongly recommend booking a professional, especially for your first shaping or if you have sensitive skin.
Prep by exfoliating gently with a mild scrub or loofah a day or two before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. Keep the area clean and avoid harsh scrubs or chemical exfoliants immediately before your visit. Also, skip sun exposure and tanning at least 24-48 hours prior, and stay well-hydrated — hydrated skin tolerates waxing better. Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of your appointment, as they can increase sensitivity.
Adding high‑precision eyebrow threadingand Brazilian waxing to your winter routine brings practical, dermatologically sound benefits: less irritation, longer‑lasting smoothness, and improved skin readiness for seasonal hydration. Choosing a studio that prioritizes expert technique, stringent hygiene, and skin health — like Brooklyn Brow — ensures you receive the highest standard of care. Book your appointment this month and give your winter routine the professional upgrade it deserves, leaving you looking polished and feeling confidently cared for.
