Skin care for spring is just as necessary as changing up our wardrobe for spring. The new season requires a slightly different skin care routine. As much as we might try to fight it, the weather has an adverse effect on your skin. Environmental stressors including UV, humidity, urban pollution and even factors as simple as the temperature can change the way our skin looks and functions, so a new season means a fresh skincare regime. Winter, despite the rain, is the driest of the seasons as far as humidity goes. It may mean your skin is also at its driest. Where winter skin care is all about heavy hydration and exfoliation, spring calls for lighter products, sun protection and the need for a deeper cleanse. Ready to change up your skincare routine from winter to spring? Here's what you'll need.
1. Deep Pore Treatment Skin Care For Spring
As the weather warms up in Spring, our skin naturally produces more oil and sweat can clog pores, leading to breakouts. That's why cleaning and exfoliating thoroughly is crucial to keep your skin clear and radiant. Our Exfoliating 2in1 Scrub and Mask is a gentle yet powerful solution, formulated to buff away dead skin cells and remove impurities without irritation, giving your skin a fresh start and a healthy glow. Suitable to be used 3 times a week.
For daily maintenance, follow with the Rescue Pore Refiner Essence to deeply purify and minimise the appearance of pores while keeping your skin hydrated, balanced and ready for the warmer months ahead.
2. Spot Treatment
Sometimes no matter how thoroughly and religiously we cleanse, a little spot will come to visit during the springtime. For this reason, we recommend having a quick, effective, natural spot treatment on hand in case of a skin care disaster strikes. Our Rescue Acne Cream is the ultimate alternative to traditionally harsh, chemical-packed spot treatments. It contains a natural ingredient known as Golden Seal which has a 99.9% kill factor on the bacteria that causes acne in as little as 30 minutes, so it heals pimples without damaging the skin like bleaching agents such as Benzoyl Peroxide can. The Rescue Acne Cream draws out blackheads trapped beneath the surface of the skin and physically absorbs excess oil, making it the perfect spring skin salve. You can also use it to treat larger problem areas of skin, as opposed to just spots. It is a handy one to keep in the cupboard to combat the changes in your skin that often come hand in hand with changes in the weather.
3. Lighter Moisturiser
Your skin cries out for hydration during winter as the cold air sucks the moisture from within your precious pores. This feeling of tightness and flakiness pushes us to apply layers of thick moisturisers- layers that need to be pared back as things heat up again. For spring, swap out your rich creams for a moisturiser with a lighter texture, such as our Boost Balancing Moisturiser. If your skin is feeling uncomfortably oily in this spring sunshine, don't give in to the temptation to forgo moisturiser altogether. When we deprive our skin of hydration, our skin kicks its oil production into overdrive, which can make oily skin issues even worse. The Boost Balancing formula is perfect for oily skin because, as its name suggests, it works to balance and control your skin's oil levels. It's also rapidly absorbed into the skin so it won't leave your skin feeling sticky, greasy or weighed down, and its antibacterial qualities work to fight potentially acne-causing bacteria.
4. Amp Up Your Antioxidants
As the sun gets stronger in spring, it's vital to protect your skin from damage—both seen and unseen. While SPF is your first line of defense, pairing it with powerful antioxidants offers extra protection from harmful UV rays and environmental stressors.
Our Acai Berry Active Antioxidant Serum works beneath the surface, neutralising free radicals caused by sun exposure. Rich in potent antioxidants, this serum helps combat premature aging, sunspots and uneven skin tone. Use it daily to boost your skin's defense and reveal a radiant, even complexion.
For best results, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen!
