As the chill of winter melts away and the world starts to bloom, it's time to rejuvenate your skin care routine to match the vibrancy of spring. Embrace the changing weather and let your skin flourish with these essential spring skin care tips.
1. Lighten Up Your Moisturiser: Swap your heavy winter moisturiser for a lighter, hydrating option. Look for formulas that provide the right amount of moisture without feeling too heavy on your skin. My favourite is the Salon Range Face Cream with Sandalwood and Chamomile.
2. Exfoliation is Key: After the dryness of winter, give your skin a fresh start by exfoliating. Use a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells, revealing a brighter complexion underneath. Try the Creamy Face Scrub with Sandalwood and Chamomile on your face and the Coffee Body Scrub for the rest of your body.
3. Don't Forget Sunscreen: As the sun becomes more intense, make sunscreen a non-negotiable step in your routine. Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. As I don't make one of these, I have been trialing some Australian natural options. I'd love to hear your favourite natural sunscreens.
4. Hydrate Inside and Out: As the weather warms up, keep your skin hydrated from within by drinking plenty of water. Incorporate hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and berries into your diet.
5. Lighter Makeup Looks: With the arrival of spring, embrace a more natural and lighter makeup look. Allow your skin to breathe and radiate its natural beauty.
6. Embrace Floral Ingredients: Spring is the perfect time to incorporate skin care products infused with floral ingredients like rose, lavender, and chamomile. These ingredients offer soothing and calming benefits for your skin.
7. Treat Your Feet: Get your feet ready for sandal season by giving them some extra care. Exfoliate, and moisturise by apply a nourishing foot cream to keep them soft and smooth. The Spring 2024 Self Care Box include a Peppermint Foot Scrub and Peppermint Foot Balm . These are a delightful treat for your feet.
8. Spring Cleaning for Tools: Don't forget to clean your makeup brushes and beauty tools regularly. Clean gua sha and face roller tools to ensure that your skin stays fresh and free from dirt and bacteria.
9. Brighten Up Your Eyes: Combat any signs of fatigue by incorporating an eye cream that addresses dark circles and puffiness. Look for ingredients like aloe vera, caffeine and hyaluronic acid. The Eye Cream with Green Coffee Bean oil is my favourite.
10. Focus on Hydration Masks: Hydration masks can be a great addition to your spring skin care routine. They help replenish moisture and give your skin a revitalised appearance. Keep an eye out for my limited-edition Hydration Mask with Hyaluronic Acid, being re-released in October 2024
11. Floral Waters and Mists: Keep a floral water or facial mist in your bag for quick refreshing spritzes throughout the day. It's a great way to keep your skin hydrated and revitalised. The Rose Water Toner is my favourite spritz in the warmer months.
As spring brings new beginnings, let your skin bloom with radiance by embracing these rejuvenating skin care tips. Embrace the season's renewal and allow your skin to flourish in its natural beauty.
