Spring, Such a Beautiful time of Year. . .
Flowers are poppin, grass is green (or almost). These seasonal signals alert us that it is also time to transition our skin care products.
With the cold winter months behind us, we need to opt for lighter moisturizers, milder cleansers to mention just a few ways to bring back that glow.
1. Switch to lightweight moisturizers
During the warmer spring and summer months it’s best to switch to a lighter moisturizer. Thicker moisturizer can leave your skin too oily and increase the chance of breakouts.
2. Incorporate Antioxidant Rich Products
Antioxidants can and should be a part of our year-round skin care routine to prevent pigmentation. Sun induced sunspots are notoriously difficult to erase and so preventing them is key. ( refer to product of the month.)
Topical antioxidants like Vitamin C stabilize free radicals and decrease sun damage.
3. Switch to Gel Foaming Cleansers
During the winter months, the cold weather strips our skin of its natural moisture and using an oil based cleanser can be helpful to keep moisture in your skin.
With the warmer temperatures your skin will produce more of its own natural oils.
4. Water-based serum
Oil based serums are an absolute godsend during the bitter cold winter months as they provide a much needed protective layer to lock in the moisture.
However, during warmer months ,water-based serums have all the concentrated nutrients & antioxidants your skin needs and they are more lightweight so your skin can absorb them easily.
Vitamin C serums are high in antioxidants that help protect your skin from sunburns, sun damage and premature aging. Hyaluronic acid serums help add back moisture lost from increased sweating during warmer weather.
5. Kick Start Spring with Exfoliating
Shed off any flaky dead skin cells from the bitter cold winter and kick start your skin by exfoliating it.
Hold back on those scrubbing exfoliating products though as skincare professionals are now recommending using a quality chemical peel in place of scrub exfoliants. It’s all in the name of protecting your skin’s microbiome.
Spring is also a perfect time to see your girls at Skin Invidia to prep your skin for Spring.
A facial package that includes a H2Glow treatment, micro channeling and chemical peel will prepare your skin so it can more effectively absorb your skincare products. Think of it as you skin spring cleaning!
6. Step up Sunscreen Application
Sunscreen protects the investment in your facials and skin care products.
Sun exposure is one of the leading causes of premature skin aging. To prevent this you need to make sure you use a separate sunscreen that offers at least an SPF 40. We have a great line called Tizo. I am partial to a physical spf which is titanium and zinc no chemicals.
I always recommend you use a separate sunscreen and not a moisturizer sunscreen combination. The purpose of a moisturizer is to go deep into your skin to add nutrients and hydrate it. The purpose of a sunscreen is to stay on the surface of your skin to repel harmful UV rays.
A good tip is to keep an extra sunscreen in your office or car so you can reapply midday. Your skin still gets UV rays Sitting by an office or car window so reapplying midday is important. Allumiers sunscreen it’s a lovely choice as it protects your skin from harsh UV rays and has SPF 50. La Roche Posay SPF 60 has a beautiful lightweight texture while offering full protection. It also comes tinted so gives a bit of coverage without the need of using a foundation.
Anyone who has sunspots knows how challenging it is to get rid of them. Even after laser treatments and chemical pills they will pop back up when exposed to too much sun. Applying your sunscreen every morning before leaving the house and midday is the most effective way to equip yourself with the best pro aging strategy.
It's nice to welcome Spring and prepare your skin with these tips for the sunnier days ahead! Say goodbye to dull skin, and let us help you replace it with "GlowShow" skin - Trust us, people will notice!
