It wasn’t that long ago that you adjusted your skincare to suit colder conditions, but now, it’s time to do some spring cleaning to your skincare routine. In this article, we’ve compiled some tips and products to get you started on building your spring skincare routine.
Ditch The Heavy Creams
It’s like switching from a heavy coat to a light jacket. Those thick creams and moisturizers protected you from the winter chill, but now, a light layer feels just right. With the sun comes heat and humidity; a heavy cream would feel greasy and make your skin oily.

Sun’s Out, SPF’s In
While we always advocate using SPF year-round, it’s crucial to add sunscreen to your skincare rotation during the warmer months. SPF combats sun damage caused by UV rays, including wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

Buff Away Dullness
Some people choose not to exfoliate in the winter because it can dry the skin, and it’s not easy to maintain the moisture we need. Now that the cold weather is behind us, it is a perfect time to reintroduce exfoliation. Removing dead cells helps your skin absorb moisture and, in effect, gives you a healthy glow.

Hydrate
As we transition into spring, your skin might need extra moisture. Including an overnight face or sheet mask in your skincare routine can help. Your skin will be softer and more supple by implementing a hydrating product, especially in the first few weeks of the season.

Revive Your Beauty Brushes
With spring on our doorstep, now is the time to deep clean your makeup brushes. Clean brushes promote clear skin because you wash away bacteria. When your makeup brushes are dirty, you increase your chances of clogged pores, breakouts, and acne.
