Spring Skincare: How to Refresh Your Routine for Radiant, Healthy Skin
As we step into spring, it’s the perfect time to refresh and revitalize your skincare routine. The transition from cooler, dry months to warmer, more humid weather can bring welcome relief to our skin—but it also presents a new set of challenges. Let’s explore how to best care for your skin as temperatures rise and nature begins to bloom.
Understanding the Effects of Warmer Weather on the Skin
Warmer weather brings increased humidity, sun exposure, and environmental allergens that can affect your skin in subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways:
Increased Oil Production: Heat and humidity can cause your skin’s sebaceous glands to go into overdrive, leading to shininess and clogged pores.
More Sweat = More Bacteria: Sweat can mix with dirt and oils on the skin, contributing to breakouts and irritation.
Sun Sensitivity: With longer days and more time outside, UV exposure can lead to sunburn, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging.
Allergic Reactions: Spring allergens, such as pollen, may trigger sensitivity, redness, or flare-ups in sensitive skin types.
Adjusting Your Skincare Routine for Spring
Your skin needs different care with the seasons. Lighten up your products and introduce ingredients that support skin clarity, hydration, and protection:
Switch to a Gentle Cleanser: Ditch heavy cream cleansers and opt for a gentle gel cleanser, like SkinBetter Cleansing Gel, to remove sweat and oil without stripping the skin.
Lighten Up Your Moisturizer: Choose a hydration-boosting cream to keep skin balanced without feeling heavy. HYDRI-C Daily Vitamin C Moisturizer would be an excellent choice.
Add Antioxidants: Look for serums rich in vitamin C to fight free radical damage and boost brightness. Hydrinity Vivid Brightening Serum cools the skin by 1 degree, making it an excellent cooling option for those who experience extra redness, and a must-have for our melasma clients.
Exfoliate (Gently): Clear away dull winter skin with gentle exfoliation 1–2 times per week to reveal a fresh, glowing complexion. SkinBetter Detoxifying Scrub Mask is a good option.
SPF is Non-Negotiable: Now more than ever, daily sunscreen is essential. At Bare Ur Beauty, we recommend a mineral sunscreen because we want the rays to be reflected off your skin, not absorbed. Check out why and a few of our favourites here.
Tips for Protecting Your Skin This Spring
Alongside your skincare routine, a few extra habits can keep your skin happy and healthy:
Hydrate Inside and Out: Drink plenty of water and use a hydrating mist or serum to keep skin plump and fresh. Hydrinity Hyacyn Active Purifying Mist is recommended.
Wear Sunglasses and Hats: Shield your face from direct sun exposure to minimize UV damage.
Clean Makeup Brushes and Phone Screens: These surfaces can harbour bacteria that lead to breakouts, especially when you sweat more.
Book a Skin Revision Treatment: Treatments like Eye Rejuvenation, Laser Genesis, or a DMK Enzyme Facial can help rebalance and rejuvenate post-winter skin.
