Spring is here! It’s time to shed off all the extra layers and prep yourself for sunny days. More importantly it’s the time to transition to a Spring skin care routine. You need to be prepared to counter the sun and make sure that your skin care routine is in line with the weather.
The needs of your skin change with the weather. What about that winter routine? It just won’t work anymore. It is vital to ensure that your skincare routine adapts to what’s happening outside to maintain glowing, healthy skin.
Here are some easy ways to update your skincare routine this spring:
1. Get back to Scrubbing
Winter skin isn’t really radiant. It is dry and coarse. However, it’s easier to regain that glow when spring arrives. Do this by getting back to exfoliating. Scrubbing in the spring helps remove old layers of skin, leaving the skin looking clean and feeling smooth. Also, the removal of dead cells helps your skin absorb skin care products more effectively. Exfoliate your skin twice or thrice a week for best results.
2. SPF game strong
With the arrival of spring we all end up spending more time outside. This means more time in the sun. Excessive sun exposure, as we all know, can be quite damaging to the skin. It is highly essential to use an effective SPF. Lather your skin up with a good sunscreen, even if it is cloudy. This will help keep your skin hydrated and avoid unwanted skin dryness and damage.
3. Lighten the load
By this we mean it’s time to switch your thick winter moisturizer with a lighter one for the season. Ingredients like petroleum are best used in winter as they provide moisture. However it tends to weigh down the skin in spring. Higher temperatures results in oilier skin and you need to switch from oily lotions to hydrating serums to avoid acne breakouts and pore clogging.
4. Cleanser
Just like switching your lotion, it is also vital to switch your cleansers. The heavy cleansers you used in winter will just make your skin oilier than you want it to be, again leading to acne and clogged pores.
Out of creamy, foamy and normal, we recommend you use the normal cleanser for spring. As the weather gets hotter, it is essential to effectively wash off dirt and grime to have your skin cleaner and healthier.
5. Eye Cream
The sun is most prominent in the spring. This tends to make people squint a lot. We suggest you invest in an eye cream that has a high level of anti-oxidants in order to avoid wrinkles and fine lines. The skin around your eyes is very thin and sensitive therefore in much need of protection. The idea is to keep the area hydrated and wrinkle free.
With just a few upgrades, your skin will be left looking and feeling healthier and ready for the upcoming season. It is important to invest in this and have your skincare routine match the weather to avoid any conditions in the long term.
Your skin is ready for spring!
