Four Ways to Get Your Skin Ready for Spring


If the harshness of winter wasn’t kind to your skin, you aren’t alone. Fortunately, warmer days are ahead. As we transition into more sunshine-filled days, it’s a worthwhile endeavor to get those beautiful faces into tip-top shape. Get your skin spring ready with the four following tips. 


 Exfoliate for Excellence 

Winter weather likely left its mark by giving you dry, flaky skin. If that’s indeed the case, remove those dead skin cells from the top layer of your face by gently exfoliating a couple of times a week, depending on your skin type. As summer approaches you will be shedding more dry skin, so exfoliating will help prevent your pores from getting clogged. Regular exfoliation ensures that your skin renews itself properly too. You may even want to kick off the warm season by doing a chemical peel or other dermatological treatments as needed.

Brighten with Vitamin C

A powerful vitamin C moisturizer or serum is well-known to promote healthy collagen production, protect against pollutants, and visibly brighten dull skin. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that when applied topically allows your skin to repair itself on a cellular level. Dark spots and irregular pigmentation will go away, allowing your skin to glow with brilliant smoothness. In addition to all the benefits above, a vitamin C serum for acne is excellent at reducing any redness or inflammation that typically accompanies acne.

Prepare for Breakouts

On the topic of acne, as your skin transitions from one season to the next, it’s common to experience facial breakouts, so be sure to have your favorite acne-fighting products on hand. Seek out a nightly leave-on treatment that will tackle existing breakouts while helping to prevent future ones. The best products will work to unclog pores, smooth skin texture, kill acne-causing bacteria, and brighten your complexion all while you sleep. A quality acne scar cream will also work to fade old blemish marks. Just think how good you’ll feel waking up every morning to better-looking skin. 

Here Comes the Sun—Don’t Forget SPF

A big part of your skincare routine in the spring and summer will focus on preventive measures, including wearing sunscreen. Dermatologists recommend using an SPF of 30 or more, which will block at least 97% of UVB rays. Try using a broad spectrum sunscreen that is designed to blend seamlessly into the skin and leave no oily residue. Be sure to apply sunscreen to your face at least 15 minutes before stepping out into the sun so that you give it a chance to absorb thoroughly. Reapply as needed. 

By staying on top of your skincare routine this spring, you’ll be able to reap the benefits of beautiful skin all season long and into the summer. There’s no time like the present to prep your skin for spring.

Keeping this in mind, let’s take a look at how to care for your face and keep it clear and healthy in three simple but effective ways. Wash Your Face Our faces come into contact with dirt and environmental pollutants every day, not to mention the sweating that occurs.

Also, be sure to use a formula that doesn’t strip your skin of its natural oils. The facial cleanser you should use depends on the type of skin you have. You want to look for formulas that provide essential nutrients and ...
