Winter’s over, time for a new skincare regimen

Your skin changes dramatically as winter ends and spring begins to bloom, sometimes in a positive way and sometimes in a negative way. Although the change from cold, dry air to warmer, more humid weather may seem like a comfort, it also presents several skincare issues. Let's examine how your skin responds to this change and how to keep your complexion looking radiant and healthy.

How seasonal shifts affect the skin 

The skin can be affected greatly during winters, losing moisture and becoming dry, flaky, and irritated. As spring approaches, your skin may feel more sensitive for the following reasons:

 

Dehydration & Dry Patches: Cold temperatures reduce the skin’s ability to retain moisture, making it feel tight, dry, and flaky. Even if you’ve been diligent with super-rich creams, your skin may still struggle to bounce back.


Compromised Skin Barrier: Low humidity and indoor heat weaken the skin’s natural protective barrier, making it more prone to irritation and redness. This can carry over into the early days of spring.


Dull, Lackluster Complexion: Dead skin cells accumulate more in winter as the cold dry air peels away the skin’s moisture, leading to a tired, lifeless look. With spring approaching, your skin craves renewal.

Impact of Spring on the Skin 

Spring brings warmer weather, and spending more time outdoors can bring changes to the skin. The humidity levels and increased sun exposure can dramatically affect the skin during this time. To treat the skin, one must determine exactly how it's being affected, and here are the following reasons that can be looked into:

 

Increased Oil Production: Warmer weather triggers the sebaceous glands, leading to oilier skin, acne breakouts, and clogged pores, especially if using thick moisturizers.


Allergies & Sensitivities: Pollen, dust, and other allergens in the air can cause flare-ups, redness, and even breakouts in sensitive skin types.


Uneven Texture & Transitional Breakouts: As the skin adjusts, the mix of dryness and new oil production can cause temporary rough patches and unexpected breakouts.

Change your skincare regimen with a smooth seasonal transition

Like your wardrobe shifts from cozy cardigans to lighter fabrics, your skincare routine needs a seasonal refresh too. Here’s how to keep your skin happy:


1. Lighten Up Your Moisturizer
Swap those super-rich winter creams for a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer that nourishes the skin without feeling greasy. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and codium tomentosum which hydrates without clogging pores.


2. Exfoliate, But Don’t Overdo It
Spring is the perfect time to slough away winter’s buildup. Use a gentle exfoliator once a week to reveal fresh, glowing skin. 


3. Boost Your SPF Game
Don’t let the mild spring sunshine fool you! UV exposure increases and the skin may be extra sensitive post-winter. A broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is a must to prevent premature aging and sun damage.


4. Stay Hydrated from the Inside Out
With rising temperatures, it’s easy to sweat out more moisture. Drink plenty of water and incorporate water-rich foods like cucumbers, and oranges into your diet.


5. Tackle Seasonal Allergies Proactively
If one is prone to allergies, use gentle, fragrance-free skincare products to avoid unnecessary irritation. Rinse the face thoroughly after being outdoors to remove pollen and allergens.

 

6. Keep an Eye on Your Skin’s Needs
Skin’s needs change from AM to PM during this seasonal transition. Winter nights are the best time for skin cell regeneration as marine active ingredients are more effective. And during springtime, the night might still be chilly. Observe how the skin reacts and tweak your routine, whether adding extra hydration or cutting back on heavy products.

 

Additionally, we can begin reintroducing lighting alternatives into our routine, even though some of us still require them to combat the drying effect of winter. 
The objective?  To expedite our brightening routine in preparation for spring while maintaining hydration as the first concern.
