As the temperatures drop and the air becomes colder and drier, your skin’s needs change. Winter puts extra pressure on the skin barrier—leading to dehydration, tightness, flakiness, sensitivity and loss of glow. To keep your complexion healthy, balanced and radiant through the colder months, it’s essential to switch up your routine, protect your skin, and choose the right products. Here’s how to care for your skin this winter—plus our top product picks from Epionce, O Cosmedics and Sensilis to support you.   Why Winter Needs a Smarter Approach When winter hits, these changes can happen: Reduced humidity means the skin loses moisture more quickly. Indoor heating dries out the air, further stripping moisture from skin. Cold winds, temperature swings (indoors to outdoors) and exposure to harsh conditions can trigger barrier damage and sensitivity. As the barrier weakens, skin becomes more prone to irritation, rough texture, redness, and visible signs of fatigue. To maintain healthy skin in winter, you need to fortify your barrier, boost hydration, reduce irritation, and protect from environmental stressors.   Core Winter Skin Routine Steps Cleanse gently – Use a non-stripping, nourishing cleanser to remove impurities without compromising your skin barrier. Boost hydration & barrier support – Use serums rich in hydrating agents and lipids, followed by richer moisturisers to lock in moisture. Treat thoughtfully – Winter is not the time to over-exfoliate; choose gentle treatments and focus on repairing the skin. Protect daily – Even in winter your skin needs sun protection and defence against wind, cold and indoor stress. Support from within & lifestyle – Stay hydrated, get enough sleep, and ensure your nutrition supports skin health.   Our Winter Product Recommendations Hydrate & Repair with Epionce Epionce Renewal Facial Cream – A rich, nourishing moisturiser ideal for dry, sensitive or winter-challenged skin.

Winter Tips You Can Lean On Switch cleanser textures – If you used a fresh gel in summer, consider a milky or cream cleanser now. Add a lipid-rich overnight treatment – Helps to replenish what dryness takes away. Limit harsh actives – If you use strong exfoliants or retinoids, consider reducing frequency and ensuring you follow with hydration. Use SPF daily – Even in winter, UVA rays and indirect sun can harm your skin. Support barrier health – Use products with ceramides, essential fatty acids, hyaluronic acid and calming botanicals. Mind environmental stress –Protect skin from cold wind and avoid hot long showers which strip oils. Stay hydrated & eat skin-loving nutrients – Healthy fats, water, omega-3s and antioxidants help your skin work from the inside.   Your Winter Skin Game Plan This season, think of your skin care like a cosy wardrobe: layer wisely, protect from the elements, and nurture the parts that feel exposed. With the right routine, you’ll keep your skin comfortable, resilient and glowing—no matter how chilly it gets outside. Begin with gentle cleansing, then apply targeted treatment and a rich moisturiser before bed. Use SPF and protect your skin during the day. Choose actives thoughtfully and adjust your routine based on how your skin responds. And the products above from Epionce, O Cosmedics and Sensilis give you strong support for winter skin health. Enjoy the season—give your skin the care it deserves and welcome winter with radiant, healthy skin.

November is National Healthy Skin Month — a time to celebrate your skin, nurture it, and learn how to care for it with greater intention. This year, we’re proud to mark the occasion with an exciting announcement: ✨ The Bliss Room is now an official stockist of Sensilis Skincare. ✨ Sensilis has been responding to the specific needs of sensitive and sensitised, aging skin for more than 40 years. Founded in a pharmaceutical laboratory in Barcelona in 1979, the brand was born from a deep understanding that truly effective skincare must be both scientific and sensorial — results-driven, yet gentle enough for the most delicate complexions. The Story Behind Sensilis The name Sensilis comes from the Latin word sensibilis, meaning “sensitive.” It’s more than a name — it’s a philosophy. From day one, Sensilis has been dedicated to respecting and restoring sensitive skin. Every formula is created, developed and manufactured in Spain, following rigorous pharmaceutical standards and backed by ISO certification. Their mission: To go beyond skincare — creating dermocosmetic treatments that combine science, comfort and care.   Why Sensilis? As skin ages, it naturally becomes thinner, drier and more reactive. Many mature skin types also develop sensitivity due to hormonal changes, environmental stress or long-term use of active ingredients. Sensilis bridges this gap beautifully — delivering anti-aging efficacy in formulas that respect the skin barrier. The brand’s gentle yet high-performing products are dermatologist-tested, vegan friendly and enriched with soothing botanical and biotechnological actives that calm, protect and strengthen the skin.   Our Sensilis Must-Haves for Healthy, Balanced Skin Here are some of the exact Sensilis products you’ll find at The Bliss Room — each tailored for sensitive, mature or ageing skin: Sensilis Eternalist A.G.E. Day Cream — Designed for skin prone to dryness and the visible signs of ageing (age 45+), this cream addresses lost thickness, firmness and volume and enhances skin resilience. Sensilis Skin Rescue Barrier Cream — Ideal for clients needing to recover after medical-cosmetic procedures, retinisation or other treatments that compromise the skin’s barrier. Also perfect for skin with redness or rosacea. Sensilis Skin Rescue Serum SOS — A fast-soothing serum for skin that needs immediate relief: post-wax, sunburn, redness or irritation. Sensilis Skin D-Pigment AHA 10 Overnight — An overnight treatment for all types of hyperpigmentation, including melasma and lentigines, ideal for supporting dark phototypes and enhancing tone after cosmetic procedures. Sensilis Skin D-Pigment Serum ATX B3 — A targeted serum for hyperpigmented skin, improving uneven tone and pigmentation with advanced actives. Sensilis Hydra Essence — A rich cream for dry or sensitive skin in need of extra hydration and calming care. Sensilis Retinol Body Treatment  — A body-specific treatment with renewing action that unifies tone, moisturises and visibly reduces wrinkles on legs, arms, neck, décolleté and belly.   The Bliss Room’s Philosophy: Science Meets Sensitivity At The Bliss Room, we believe that healthy skin is balanced skin — nourished, protected and treated with respect. Sensilis perfectly aligns with that belief. Each product is a result of scientific innovation paired with genuine care, offering a sensorial experience that makes your daily routine both effective and enjoyable.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the lingering marks left behind from past breakouts, know you’re not alone. Acne scars are more than skin deep — they carry emotional weight — but with the right knowledge and treatment approach, much can be done to soften, repair, and restore.In this blog, we’ll explore the common types of acne scars, what causes them, and how you can use targeted treatments and products to improve your skin’s texture and tone. How Acne Scars Form Scarring occurs when the skin is damaged by inflammation during a breakout. As your skin heals, it produces collagen to repair the injury. But when collagen production is irregular — either too much or too little — it can lead to different scar formations.Key factors in scar formation include:- Inflammation severity — deeper or more inflamed breakouts tend to leave stronger scars- Collagen response — too little, and you get indentations; too much, and raised scars emerge- Genetics & skin type — some people are more predisposed to scarring- Picking & popping — manual trauma disrupts healing and worsens scarring Types of Acne Scars Acne scars come in various shapes. Here are the main types you may see:- Ice pick scars – deep, narrow indentations that look like small “pits.” - Boxcar scars – broader depressions with sharper edges, often angular.  - Rolling scars – gentle wave‑like contours due to skin tethering. - Hypertrophic scars / keloids – raised scars that form when excess collagen is produced. It’s common to see a mix of scar types on one person, so treatment often needs to be multi‑modal. Treatment Options: From Mild to Advanced Here are treatment strategies ranked from gentler to more aggressive. A combination approach is often best.Microneedling / Collagen Induction Therapy – Rolling, boxcar, moderate scars: Creates micro‑injury to stimulate collagen remodellingChemical Peels / Controlled Exfoliation – Shallow scars, surface texture: Helps shed top layers and smooth surface irregularitiesMicrodermabrasion / Dermal Abrasion – Mild surface scarring, texture: Gentle resurfacing to promote new skin growthFractional Laser / Radiofrequency / Energy Devices – Moderate to severe scars: Penetrates deeply to remodel collagen and improve appearanceEach of these can be enhanced when paired with an effective topical skincare regimen that supports healing, reduces pigmentation, and boosts collagen.
