As the weather warms up and the days get longer, it’s time to start thinking about customizing your skin-care routine for spring. After all, with spring comes sunshine and new beginnings, so why not give yourself a little love by taking better care of your skin? Here are a few tips on how to customize your skin-care routine for the season ahead.
“Invest in your skin. It’s going to represent you for a long time.”
Step 1: Start Exfoliating
Exfoliating your skin is one of the best ways to help you get that coveted glow. Exfoliation helps remove dead cells from the surface of your skin and allows you to better absorb ingredients like serums and moisturizers. To start exfoliating, look for an exfoliating scrub or chemical exfoliant with lactic acid or glycolic acid. Additionally, use a gentle exfoliating brush or washcloth to gently massage the product into your face in circular motions.
Step 2: Reevaluate Your Moisturizer
Your moisturizer should always be tailored to match the season – meaning you’ll need something lighter in texture come springtime. If you’re used to using a thick, heavy cream during winter months, switch over to a lightweight lotion or gel formula instead as these will help keep your skin hydrated without feeling heavy or greasy on warmer days. Also consider switching up products with SPF if you don’t already use one; this helps protect against sun damage and adds an extra layer of protection against premature aging.
Finally, don’t forget about lip balm! Cold and dry winter air can leave lips feeling chapped and dry – make sure you’re rehydrating them with a nourishing lip balm before heading out each day!
Step 3: Increase Antioxidant Intake
Antioxidants are essential when it comes to protecting against environmental stressors like pollution that can cause signs of aging such as wrinkles and dark spots. To increase antioxidant intake in your routine, try incorporating products with vitamin C or green tea extract into your daily regimen. These powerful ingredients work to neutralize free radicals that can wreak havoc on our skin cells over time. Additionally, consuming antioxidant-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains and legumes also helps boost your antioxidant levels from within!
Key Takeaways
It’s never too late (or early!) to revamp your skincare routine for springtime! Taking just a few simple steps can help keep your complexion glowing all season long – from exfoliating regularly to switching up products with SPF and increasing antioxidant intake – there’s no better time than now to show some extra TLC towards our skin this season!
