Spring is the season of transformation and lets not forget that our skin deserves a fresh start too! Read on for 7 essential changes to transform your skincare routine for the blossoming spring season!
1. Say Goodbye to Heavy Creams
Trade in your heavy-duty winter creams for lighter formulations and even gel-based alternatives. As the temperature rises, these formulations help reduce clogged pores and offer a comfortable, airy feel on your skin.
We recommend Dr. Ceuracle's Vegan Kombucha Tea Gel Cream. It's formulated with fermented black tea to strengthen your skins moisture barrier and keep oil production in check as well as green tea leaf water for calming anti-oxidant benefits. It's suitable for all skin types including oily, sensitive and dehydrated skin.
For those with dry or combination skin, the Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Gel and Cream is your ideal choice. It's a versatile duo that allows you to customise your skincare depending on its needs. The gel soothes with green tea extract and summer snowflake bulb, while the cream nourishes with antioxidant rich ingredients mung bean, fig and rice extract.
2. Gently Exfoliate Away Winter Dullness
Winter often disrupts your skin's natural cell turnover, leaving it feeling dry and lacklustre. Bring back that glow by incorporating gentle exfoliation into your routine with products like Neogen's Bio-Peel Gauze-Peeling Pads. They offer both physical and chemical exfoliation revealing a renewed complexion without overdoing it.
3. Elevate Your SPF Game
While sun protection should be a constant, spring is the perfect time to level up. Opt of SPF 30 or higher with broad spectrum coverage and don't forget to re-apply. For those with normal or dry skin we recommend the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+ PA++++ for it's nourishing and protective qualities.
For those with oily or combination skin, consider the Thank You Farmer Sun Project Light Sun Essence SPF 50+ PA+++. It's a lightweight broad-spectrum sunscreen that doesn't feel sticky or greasy and leaves a matte finish.
4. Harness the Power of Antioxidants
As the sun regains its strength in the spring our skin needs a little extra anti-aging protection. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C shield against harmful free radicals generated by UV rays. It's also amazing at brightening the skin. Try COSRX The Vitamin C 23 Serum to brighten, firm and combat dark spots.
Remember sunscreen is a non-negotiable: Vitamin C boost your skin's defence against the sun, but it doesn't replace sunscreen.
5. Energise Your Body Routine
Swap out long, steamy baths for refreshing showers and elevate your body routines with Huxley's Body Wash: Moroccan Gardener. it cleanses while maintaining your body's moisture balance, leaving you feeling refreshed and luxurious.
6. Weekly Treat: Sheet Mask Indulgence
For those days when your skin craves extra TLC, reach for a pampering sheet mask: Thank You Farmer Saccharomy Brightening Star Mask is perfect for brightening and anti-aging benefits. It contains fermented ingredients that are gentle on the skin, moisturising and plumping while targeting wrinkles and crow's feet.
7. Spring Clean Your Skincare: Out with the old, in with the fresh
Just as you declutter your wardrobes, your skincare collection deserves a spring clean too. Check expiry dates, and toss out products that have been open too long. Bacteria thrive in warmer weather so keep your products fresh and effective.
