As the weather warms up and the flowers bloom, it’s time to give your skincare routine a spring makeover. Following the cold winter months your skin (most probably) feels dry and dull and requires a strong dose of TLC.

Below is a skincare routine that will make your skin fresh and healthy.  Achieve a glowing complexion all spring long with the following routine. 

Cleanse

It is that time of the year when it is advisable to switch to a lighter, more gentle cleanser that will not strip your skin of its natural oils. Look for a cleanser that contains hydrating ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, and is free of harsh chemicals and fragrances. We suggest: Anesi Aqua Vital Xpress Make Up Remover 200ml.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating is key to removing dead skin cells and revealing brighter, smoother skin. Choose a gentle exfoliator that contains natural ingredients and use it once or twice a week or as your beauty therapist suggests. We suggest: Yon-Ka Gommage 50ml .

Tone

The toning step in one’s skincare routine, is an often overlooked step in skincare.  That is a big mistake, as it is essential for balancing your skin’s pH levels and preparing it for the next steps. Look for a toner that contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients. We suggest: Medik8 Daily Refresh Balancing Toner™150ml. 

Serum

Serums are packed with active ingredients that can target specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, dark spots, or acne. Look for a serum that contains vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant that can brighten and even out your skin tone. We suggest: Germaine De Capuccini Timexpert Radiance C+ Pure C10 Concentrate 2x 15ml and Matis Hydramood-Serum.

Moisturise

Moisturising is crucial for keeping your skin hydrated and plump at all times during spring time. Look for a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser that contains hyaluronic acid, which can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. We suggest: Matis Hydra-Motion and Farmona Hydra Quest Multi-Level Moisturising Face Cream Day/Night.

Finally Apply Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a must-have all year round, but it’s especially important in the spring and summer months when the sun’s rays are stronger. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and apply it every day, even if the weather is cloudy. We suggest: Ainhoa Skin Primers High Protection Facial Emulsion SPF50 50ml (Oil Free).

These six simple steps will help you achieve a healthier-looking skin that feels and looks better. Always consult with a dermatologist if you have any concerns or questions regarding your skin.

Give your skin the love and attention it deserves!
