Habit Hack: Mastering Your Skincare Transition for a Radiant Spring Glow
As the frost melts away, revealing the fresh blooms of spring, it's time to rejuvenate and revitalise our skincare routines. Spring is not just a season of renewal for nature, but also for our skin. This season demands a shift from the heavy, rich products of winter to lighter, more nurturing options.
SPF: The Non-Negotiable Hero
Regardless of the weather, applying SPF is crucial, especially in spring as UV exposure increases. Regularly using a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 helps prevent sunburn, premature ageing, and hyperpigmentation. Apply it generously across the face and neck and reapply often, particularly during prolonged outdoor activities.
Lighten Up Your Moisturiser
Switch to a lighter moisturiser as temperatures rise. Choose formulas with hyaluronic acid and glycerin to hydrate without heaviness, keeping your skin nourished yet light for spring.
Exfoliate for Freshness
Gently exfoliating your skin removes the dead cells accumulated over the colder months, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. However, remember to do so sparingly to avoid irritation.
Embrace Antioxidants
Incorporating antioxidants such as serums with Vitamin C not only help in fighting free radicals but also brighten the skin, giving you that coveted springtime radiance.
Don't Forget About Your Lips
Your lips need protection too! Invest in a lip balm with SPF to keep your lips hydrated and shielded from the sun's rays. Reapply throughout the day, especially if you'll be spending time outdoors.
Take Care of Your Hands
Care for your hands by moisturising regularly with nourishing creams, especially after washing. Use SPF to protect them from increased sun exposure and prevent signs of ageing.
Stay Hydrated and Eat Right
Lastly, drink plenty of water and eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables for antioxidants and vitamins to improve your skin’s health and appearance.
