Well, it's that time of year again – spring has finally sprung, and we can all start emerging from our cozy hideouts. Winter can be tough on the skin - harsh temperatures, heating, wind and the dry weather can all play havoc with our skin.
It's common to see changes in our skin each season, and now that the weather will start warming up, some of you might notice your skin producing a bit more oil than usual. Others might come across those dry patches that seemed to take cover during the winter months. A few pesky blemishes might decide to make an appearance too. No matter your skin type, it's all par for the course when the weather shifts.
Â
Just know that you're not alone in this – we're all experiencing these changes together. So, as we step into the new season, let's also adjust our skincare routines and give our skin the TLC it deserves.
So today I'll share my top tips to help your skin this spring, along with my favourite products for glowy spring skin!

5 best tips to look after your skin this spring
1. Clean
Â
Double cleansing your skin each day is like a spring clean. The skin looks and feels better and it helps your products penetrate more effectively. Opting for a PreCleanse will help dissolve the impuities and debris and then allow your prescribed cleanser to do what it does best. We understand that life is busy, so we have a solution below for you too.
Â
Â
- Micelles attract and dissolve impurities
- Skin-nourishing lipids gently melt into the skin.
- Helps balance skin’s microbiome and boost its capacity for moisture retention
- Provides antioxidant benefits to the skin
- Helps condition and reinforce the skin’s barrier, even after wash-off
Â
2. Smooth
Â
Say goodbye to the dull and dead winter skin cells. It's the perfect time to renew and reveal that fresh, smooth skin and kick start your results at this time of the year. For those of you with more of a sensitive skin, we have you covered here too.
Â
Â
- Designed for sensitive skins
- A gentle exfoliation that improves overall skin smoothness
- Replenishes and calms the skin
- Helps support skin’s moisture barrier through hydration and prevention of skin dryness
- Contains prebiotic properties to support a healthy microbiome
- Rich in minerals that aid in calming the skin
Â
3. Brighten
Â
Adding a daily dose of Vitamin C has so many benefits to the skin. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that all skin types will benefit from.
Vitamin C:
- Brightens your complexion
- Hydrates the skin
- Reduces the signs of fine lines and wrinkles
- Helps protect against the free radical stress that accelerates ageing
Â
Â
An advanced bio-technology fuses ultra-stable Vitamin C with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, which works along an AHAs to fight oxidative stress and the appearance of ageing.
- Exfoliates and reduces unbalanced pigmentation
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Prevents and corrects free radical damage
Â
4. Repair
Â
The winter climate can cause our skin to feel extra sensitive, as the skin's barrier and microbiome become compromised. Now is the time to help the skin repair and strengthen before the heat of the summer kicks in.
Â
Regular use will help the skin build back up its resilience to the outside elements. It helps reduce the redness and strenghtens your skins barrier.
- Soothes on contact
- Reduces redness
- Repairs skin’s lipid barrier
- Strengthens skin to help keep signs of sensitivity at bay
Â
5. Protect
As the temperatures rise, there is a rise in the potential harm caused by UV rays from the sun. If you tend to be less diligent about using sunscreen during the colder months, now is the perfect time to place this product in a prominent position in your cupboard or drawer and begin applying it on a daily basis. Sunscreen stands as your most effective tool against ageing, as it plays a crucial role in protecting your skin from the sun's rays that contribute to the deterioration of collagen and elastin.
