As the seasons change, so does our skin. Winter’s cold air and indoor heating can leave skin dry, sensitive, and in need of extra moisture. When spring arrives, the temperature rises, humidity increases, and our skin starts to produce more oil. This shift means it’s time to swap out some of your winter skincare products for lighter, more breathable options that support healthy, glowing skin.
Why do we need a skincare swap?
1. Skin's Moisture Levels Change:
Winter air is dry, which is why we use rich creams and oils. In spring, excess humidity can make thick products feel heavy and clog pores.
2. Skin's Oil Production Increases:
As temperatures rise, our skin produces more oil. Heavy creams can lead to breakouts, so switching to lightweight hydration helps maintain balance.
3. Sun Exposure Rises:
Springtime means more time outdoors, so adding products with antioxidants and non-toxic SPF helps protect the skin from environmental damage.
4. Skin's Cell Turnover Speeds Up:
Warmer weather naturally increases cell turnover, making gentle exfoliation essential to keep your complexion fresh and radiant.
Here are our few of our expert-recommended product swaps to keep your skin healthy and glowing in spring, and why the reason why the product swap is suggested:

How to Transition Your New Routine
-Gradually Introduce New Products:
Instead of switching everything at once, swap one product at a time to see how your skin reacts.
-Stay Hydrated:
Even in spring, hydration is key. Use facial oils, oil cleansers and switch to a lightweight moisturizer to keep skin balanced.
-Be careful with SPFs:
Sun exposure increases in spring, so everyone tends to start using SPF more. When choosing your SPF be careful of the toxic ingredients that the over-counters usually have. Sun is good for our skin, but for those who are very sensitive to it, swap to mineral and natural SPFs.
-Exfoliate Wisely:
Don't over exfoliate. Exfoliate 1 time per week to remove dead skin cells and boost radiance.
