WHY YOU NEED TO CHANGE UP YOUR SPRING SKINCARE
As we say cheerio to winter and hello to spring it is a good time to assess your skin care products and introduce a spring skin care routine.
Update Your Skincare Routine
The cold winter months can leave your skin feeling drier, lacking in moisture and rougher in texture due in part, to colder temperatures and central heating stripping your skin of its natural lipids and moisture. The spring brings warmer weather, possibly higher humidity, longer days and sunshine, so it is a good time to re-evaluate and update your skincare routine.
Exfoliate and Moisturise
The winter may have left your skin feeling drier and rougher so a deep exfoliation at the start of spring can help to remove the dead surface layer to reveal a fresh glowing complexion and use a lighter weight moisturiser as thicker moisturisers provide an extra layer of protection against bitter cold temperatures in the winter months which can cause the pores to become cogged. This will help refresh your skin ready for the new season,
Hydrate
Did you know warmer climates with higher humidity levels can actually help to maintain more hydrated skin! This is because the higher the humidity, the lower the evaporation of your natural hydration (hyaluronic acid) from your skin. But you shouldn’t rely on humidity to help hydrate your skin! Not only should you use spring skincare products to maintain hydration in your skin but you should also make sure your body is hydrated with plenty of water and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Sun Protection SPF products
90% of skin ageing comes from UV damage! To keep your skin healthy, younger looking and vibrant you need to invest in SPF protection.
Refresh Your Make-up
Make-up can be one of those products that aren’t always used every day, you may have a selection of eye shadows or blushers where your favourites get used first with some of the others hanging around for a lot longer. Take a look at your make-up expiry dates and check to see if any are out of date, if they are throw them out as make-up can be the perfect place for bacteria to hide!
Another great spring skin tip is to give your entire make-up brush selection a really good wash, although this should be a regular occurrence a good spring clean never hurt anyone!
