Spring Skincare Guide: 5 Tips for a Fresh, Glowing Complexion
Reviewing your skincare routine is a great idea as your skin is constantly changing and when the seasons change, a change to your skincare routine is the ideal time. With spring’s arrival, it’s time to refresh your regimen and embrace a lighter, more radiant approach to skincare.
Here are five essential tips in our ultimate guide to spring skincare which will help you transition smoothly into the new season while keeping your skin healthy and glowing.
5 Tips To Fresh Spring Skin
Tip 1: Switch to a Lighter Moisturizer
Most of us find that winter tends to call for thick, richer creams or moisturisers, as they help protect the skin as well as infuse your complexion with more hydrating moisture. However, as we move to warmer temperatures, you may feel you need something less creamy and find your skin will enjoy a lighter, more breathable textured moisturiser. There are lots to choose from and many like the feel of hydrating gels or a lighter weight moisturiser. Look for products infused with natural, organic ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid to keep your skin plump without feeling greasy. In Spring we love Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Hydrator and Mangosteen Gel Moisturiser, both have gorgeous springtime aromas and feel light and hydrating on your skin.
There are many different kinds of Hydroxy Acids and some work better on certain skin types:
Tip 2: Don’t Skip Sunscreen
With longer days and increased sun exposure, SPF is non-negotiable. Use a broad-spectrum, mineral-based sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Look for formulations with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for gentle yet effective coverage. If you haven’t tried our newer liquid SPFs then now is your chance. We have Radiant Protection SPF Fluid which is an SPF30 and Daily Defense Tinted SPF50+ with a sheer, versatile tint suitable for all skins. Mineral SPF’s offer protection against UVA and UVB, they don’t leave your skin feeling greasy or hot, and are reef friendly so ideal for every day use and for taking on your holidays. Don’t forget you should wear an SPF product every day as UV damage is one of the main contributing factors in premature skin ageing!
Tip 3: Exfoliate for a Fresh Start
Winter can leave behind a layer of dull, dry skin. Gentle exfoliation 2-3 times a week can help remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresh, radiant complexion ready for spring. Choose an organic skin polish with natural exfoliants like ground olive seeds, chickpea powder or fruit enzymes for a smooth and healthy glow. As with most Eminence products our exfoliants offer more than just exfoliation, they will infuse your skin with nourishing beneficial ingredients which can help to treat various skin concerns and conditions. We are in love with our newer Superfood Enzyme exfoliating products as they are super easy to use and incorporate into any routine. There is the Barbados Cherry Enzyme Cleansing Powder and the Mango Exfoliating Enzyme Masque, both are suitable for all skin types and smell like summer is on its way. If you want an exfoliator pure and simple then try one of our VitaSkin Exfoliating Peels, all you need is 5 minutes for a smooth, refined more youthful complexion and there is one for everyone!
Tip 4: Hydrate Inside and Out
Spring’s warmer temperatures can lead to dehydration, with increased temperatures and outdoor activities you can perspire more and lose vital hydration through trans epidermal water loss. Keeping your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water is essential but so is using hydrating serums or facial mists with organic botanical extracts. Stone Crop extracts, Lime and Neroli and Mangosteen infused mists can be refreshing and soothing for the skin. All of our Toniques and Mists will help to treat and refresh the skin with nourishing and hydrating botanicals. For an extra hit of hydration you can also add an essence into your routine, apply after toning for even more hydration and plumping! Mangosteen Revitalising Mist is one of our fave spring time aromas.
Tip 5: Detox Your Skincare Routine
Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home—it’s also for your skincare routine! Check the expiration dates of your products, swap out heavy formulas for lighter ones, and opt for clean, organic skincare options that nourish your skin without harsh chemicals. Organic products can have shorter shelf lives compared to their chemical cousins so make sure your products are fresh enough to keep your skin glowing this spring.
