Spring Skincare: Supporting Your Skin Through this Seasonal Shift
As the snow melts and the days grow longer, our skin starts to sense the seasonal shift. Spring brings a welcome breath of fresh air, but it also introduces new environmental stressors—fluctuating temperatures, increased UV exposure, higher humidity, and a surge in allergens like pollen.
Just like you might rotate your wardrobe this time of year, your skincare regimen deserves a seasonal refresh too.
Why Skin Reacts to Seasonal Changes
Our skin is constantly working to maintain balance and protect us from the elements. But the change from winter’s dry indoor heat and heavy occlusive creams to spring’s rising temperatures and humidity can disrupt this balance. You might notice:
• Congestion or breakouts
• Dullness and uneven tone
• Flakiness or sensitivity
• Increased oil production or dehydration
These symptoms are signs your skin is adapting—and a gentle, barrier-supportive approach can help ease the transition.
Spring Skincare Shifts to Consider
1. Lighten Up Your Moisturiser
In spring, your skin typically doesn’t need the heavy occlusives that were helpful during winter. Switch to a breathable, skin-identical formula that supports hydration without clogging pores. Look for creams rich in ceramides, phosphatidylcholine, and natural moisturising factors (NMFs).
2. Gently Encourage Cellular Renewal
A gentle exfoliation strategy (not scrubs or harsh acids!) can support healthy turnover. Enzyme-based exfoliants or customised professional treatments are ideal to smooth and refine without damaging your barrier.
3. Focus on Hydration, Not Just Moisture
While heavier creams and balms seal moisture in, spring calls for ingredients that bind water to the skin—like hyaluronic acid, d-panthenol, aloe vera, and other skin-loving humectants. These help maintain hydration in a more lightweight and breathable way.
4. Recommit to Sun Protection
UV exposure increases in the spring, even on overcast days. This is the perfect time to reassess your sun protection habits and find a non-irritating SPF that integrates well into your daily routine.
5. Get Professional Support
A seasonal facial designed around barrier repair and spring hydration can do wonders. At SALT OF THE EARTH SKIN, I offer customised treatments that assess your skin’s current needs and guide your home care for optimal results.
