Spring is all about revival, renewal, and blooms everywhere. But flowers are not the only elements that come back to life in this beautiful spring. Our skin comes back to its radiance and suppleness after the winter. With these tips, you can easily prepare your skin for spring.
All that winter cold can make your complexion look dull, and the dry weather outside can cause dead skin buildup.
Spring is a great time to refresh your skincare routine and give your skin a boost. To help you make it lively and healthy again, try these 7 skincare spring tips:
1. Begin with a Cleaning Spree
Spring is the time for cleaning up! Our skincare routine can take much inspiration from the glorious spring season. To revamp your skin when the weather turns bright, start by sorting out your cluttered skincare shelf.
With the changing seasons, our skincare needs change too. Clean up the expired products of the past spring and summer, wash your makeup brushes and tools, and replenish the spring necessities, i.e., serum, moisturizer, cleanser, toner, spring lip shades, and more.
2. Incorporate a Face Serum
Face serums provide a hydrating benefit for skin that is dehydrated and dry from the winter extremities. By choosing a high-quality face serum like All Bright C Serum you treat your skin with powerful antioxidants.
These protect your tender skin from environmental hazards and restore the radiance you lost in the winter. Considering its ultra-potent blend, the All Bright C Serum is a game-changing product for your skincare regime.
It features two Vitamin C forms, camu camu, and turmeric. The high concentration of active ingredients also combats the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. You’ll be left with smooth, bright, healthy skin for all your spring parties and events.
3. Use Lighter Foundation
Just as you must revamp your wardrobe for each season, you should also rotate your skincare products. This is especially true for foundations. Since winter is a drier season, switch to a more full-coverage foundation formula.
Spring is very different for the skin; however, a lighter foundation like the Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer is a perfect solution. It offers a dewier and lighter coverage that helps produce a natural and glowing finish. While containing SPF 20, the lightweight sheer coverage is just the radiance-boosting mix you need for spring outings.
4. Try Bakuchiol Products
Retinol has been in the skincare game for a while now, but bakuchiol is an impressive alternative. In addition to the smoothing and complexion brightening properties, it’s a plant-based alternative to the vitamin A derivative.
The best feature of bakuchiol is that it is natural, less irritating, and has fewer side effects than retinol, especially when you are spending more time outdoors and in the sunshine. It does not irritate or dry out as retinol does or have increased sun sensitivity, which proves it to be a better spring product for all skin types.
Bakuchiol is an extract from the babchi plant. It is native to the Indian subcontinent and has proved itself in the skincare industry with its Ayurvedic healing properties. It packs abundant antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and restores and calms the skin.
The Countertime Collection is a great option for anti-aging because it includes Retinatural Complex: Bakuchiol which has been shown to provide skin-care results that are comparable to retinol—without harmful side effects such as skin irritation and increased sun sensitivity—and Swiss Alpine rose to boost the skin’s antioxidant defense.
5. Exfoliate
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and helps improve the texture and tone of your skin. Reflect Effect Bamboobuff Exfoliating Polish added to your daily cleanser is a quick and easy way to add exfoliation into your daily spring cleansing routine. The Reflect Effect AHA Smoothing Facial Mask delivers amazing results. This mask is a radiant boosting unique blend of bamboo particles and glycolic acid. These combine to create a powerful exfoliator that rids the skin of unwanted bacteria—in just 10 minutes! When switching skincare regimes for a season, nothing beats gentle exfoliation.
The best spring skincare tip to reset your skin and give it an instant return to life is to encourage its cellular proliferation. And what could be a better way to do that than exfoliating all the layers of dead skin cells sitting there?
6. Hydrate
When the weather turns warmer, we all get excited about longer days outside, preferably by a pool or the beach. But our skin might not be as quickly ready for the joys of the spring season as our energy might be.
As the weather warms up, hydrate your skin with a lightweight moisturizer. Look for products with hyaluronic acid, which can help retain moisture and plump up the skin. Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion is an excellent adaptive moisturizer lightweight lotion that adapts to the skin throughout the day. Another game-changing product for hydration and to reduce fine lines and wrinkles is the Mighty Plump Ceramide Water Cream. You can even add a drop or two of All Bright Brightening Facial Oil directly to your lotion for an added blend of oils to hydrate skin and improve the appearance of radiance. Need an extra boost of hydration? Try the Biossance Squalane + Hyaluronic acid facial mist. This hyaluronic acid spray is perfect for toning, setting makeup and refreshing skin throughout the day.
7. Protect your Skin from the Sun
When reading spring skincare tips, surely you’ve read about the importance of sunscreen a million times at least. But it is so important. You need to wear sunscreen!
With the warmer weather, your skin is exposed to more sun, so be sure to use mineral sunscreen daily. This protects skin from UVA, UVB, and HEV blue light rays, without leaving a chalky cast. With sunscreen, you can rest assured of ample protection from harmful sun rays as you indulge in all your favorite spring activities.
Bonus Tip
If you wish to make your skin glow brighter than the spring sun and make your makeup look perfect each time, we recommend swapping to some spring lip shades. Beyond Gloss has the most beautiful glossy and vivid shades to bring shine to your lips. Some of my favorite colors for spring are Peony (warm pink), Quartz Shimmer (clear shimmer), Magnolia Shimmer, (mauve with silver shimmer), or Dahlia (cool pink). The soft yet cheery colors do a brilliant job of bringing out the radiance and vibrancy of your skin.
Following these steps and incorporating new products into your routine can give your spring skincare a refreshing boost and help your skin look its best.
