Checklist: How to Transition Your Skincare Routine for Spring

As we say goodbye to winter, and hello to a new season, what better time to refresh and rejuvenate your daily skincare routine? The changing weather can bring new challenges for your skin, like increased oiliness or sensitivity. By adjusting your skincare routine, you can help your skin stay balanced and healthy, giving you that radiant glow all spring (and summer) long!

Start Here: Assess Your Current Skincare Routine

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your skin. That's why it's essential to reevaluate your skincare routine to ensure it's meeting your skin's current needs. Take a moment to reflect on your current regimen and identify any problems you may be experiencing.

Is your skin feeling dry from the cool winter weather? Dull from a lack of hydration? Or are you experiencing breakouts from who knows what? By understanding your skin and what it needs, you can make informed decisions about the products and practices that will help you achieve a healthy, glowing complexion this spring. Let’s dive in!

☑️ Swap to a lighter moisturizer

Let’s start with swapping out those heavy winter creams for lighter, more refreshing products that won't weigh down your skin. Lighter formulas like Lightweight, can help your skin feel refreshed and rejuvenated as the weather warms up.

☑️ Incorporate gentle exfoliation into your routine

Consider incorporating a gentle exfoliant into your routine to slough off any dry, dead skin cells that may have built up over the winter months. This can leave your skin looking (and feeling) brighter and more radiant, ready to embrace the new season ahead. Perk Up is a great one to reach for — both an exfoliant and polishing oil that will leave skin feeling smooth and invigorated.

☑️ Reach for hydrating ingredients on your shelf

Keeping your skin hydrated is key as the weather warms up! Look for skincare products with lightweight, hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or aloe vera. These ingredients can help keep your skin moisturized without feeling heavy or greasy. Some of our hydrating favourites for spring are our Total Package serum, Hydrate sheet masque, and our Chill Out body spray.

☑️ Protect your skin from the sun

Don't forget about sun protection! But you’ve already been wearing your daily SPF this whole time, right?? UV rays can still be harmful, even on cloudy days. So, be sure to use a lightweight mineral sunscreen, like Smarten Up to protect your skin from sun damage.

☑️ Integrate targeted treatments into your routine

As the seasons change, you might notice some shifts in your skin. Springtime can bring about increased oiliness or sensitivity for some people. If you're experiencing these concerns, consider incorporating targeted treatments into your routine, such as serums or masks. These products can help balance oil production and soothe sensitive skin, keeping your complexion looking its best as you transition into the new season.

So there you have it! A checklist that will not only revitalize your skincare routine for the new season but will have your skin feeling refreshed and glowing.
