As the seasons change from Winter to Spring, it's important to adjust your skincare routine to keep your skin healthy and glowing. Here are the TOP TIPS to make the transition smooth:
- Swap out heavy moisturizers for lighter formulas. In the spring, you can typically switch to lighter moisturizers or serums that still provide hydration without feeling heavy or greasy on the skin.
- Use a gentle cleanser. As the weather warms up, you may not need a heavy-duty cleanser to remove excess oil and dirt. Switch to a gentle cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils.
- Add antioxidants to your routine. Vitamin E, green tea, and ginkgo biloba extracts work together to block damaging UVA and UVB rays.
- Don't forget sunscreen! Even if it's not quite hot outside, UV rays can still damage your skin. Make sure to apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day.
- Exfoliate gently. This can help remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture. It's important to be gentle, especially if your skin is still recovering from winter dryness. Look for gentle exfoliants that won't irritate your skin.
- Pay attention to your lips. Cold, dry winter weather can leave your lips chapped and flaky. Use a hydrating serum to restore a healthier barrier to the delicate skin on your lips.
