Do you know when weather transitions from winter to spring, it’s important to change your skincare routine. It helps your skin to adapt new weather conditions. Transition period of weather is crucial for your skin. If you will not change your winter routine then your skin will not be able to adapt new weather. Here are some tips for you for taking good care of your skin during transition of weather from winter to spring.
Re-evaluate Your Cleanser: If you’ve been using a heavy, creamy cleanser in the winter to overcome dryness of harsh weather now it’s time to switch to a lighter, more refreshing cleanser for spring. Look for a gentle, water-based cleanser that will cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural oils. The harsh cold during the winter months usually strips our skin of its natural moisture. That’s why winter skincare is all about moisture-locking and boosting dry skin.
When the temperatures begin to rise, though, your skin won’t need all that additional moisture. Warmer temperatures allow your skin to produce more of its natural oils.
So instead of using thick hydrating cleansers, use milder and lighter cleansers. Gel cleansers or foaming water facial cleansers are great options for spring.
Exfoliate: During the winter months, dead skin cells can accumulate on the surface of your skin, leading to a dull complexion. Incorporating a gentle exfoliant into your routine can help to slough off dead skin cells and reveal brighter, smoother skin. However, be careful not to over-exfoliate, as this can cause irritation and sensitivity. As you ease into the spring months, though, you can switch out your rougher scrubs for a gentle exfoliator. Pick a product with small amounts of glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is a colorless and odorless chemical compound that helps remove dead cells from the top layer of your skin. It’s best for people with normal, oily, or combination of these types of skin.
Switch to a Lighter Moisturizer:
As the weather warms up, your skin may not require as much hydration as it did in the winter. Consider switching to a lighter moisturizer or a hydrating serum to provide the right amount of moisture without feeling heavy or greasy. Try a water-based moisturizer or a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps attract more water without making the skin too oily.
Protect Your Skin from the Sun: With longer days and more time spent outdoors, it’s important to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Incorporate a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 into your morning routine, and reapply as needed throughout the day. Remember, sun exposure is one of the leading causes of premature skin aging. To prevent this, you need to make sure you’re using a separate and dedicated product for sun protection. Use sunscreen that offers at least an SPF of 50. These days, there are lightweight sunscreens that won’t leave you with that annoying white cast.
Don’t forget about your Lips:
Lips can also become dry and chapped during the winter months, so make sure to exfoliate and moisturize them regularly. During winter and spring, cold air and low humidity can cause skin to dry out – and the skin around the lips is extremely delicate. As the weather slowly warms, this change in temperature can also trigger irritation and further chapping. This is why your lips tend to dry, flake, and redden more severely than the rest of your skin. If weather is effecting your lips, you can care for them by:
Drinking plenty of water to help keep lips hydrated. Refrain from picking dry skin from your lips use a gentle exfoliator or lip scrub to gently buff away rough patches. Wear an SPF lip balm on days when you spend 30 minutes or more outdoors. Wear a lip oil over your lip balm, to lock in moisture. Use a lip mask every night until lips start feeling smooth again.
