Why this worksDuring spring, increased UV exposure and outdoor elements can stress your skin. A tailored routine helps to shield against environmental aggressors while keeping your skin hydrated and healthy. The right products can lock in moisture and provide essential protection without feeling heavy.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Cleanse with a Gentle Wash Start with a gentle gel cleanser to remove dirt and sweat without stripping your skin. Look for one that’s hydrating to maintain your skin's moisture barrier.
  2. Apply a Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Make sure to apply it generously, covering all exposed areas, and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
  3. Use a Lightweight Moisturiser Opt for a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser that hydrates without clogging pores. This will help maintain skin elasticity and prevent dryness from sun exposure.
  4. Add Antioxidant Serum Incorporate an antioxidant serum, like vitamin C, to help combat free radicals from sun exposure. Apply it before your moisturiser for added protection.
  5. Consider a Hydrating Mist A hydrating mist can be a refreshing touch throughout the day. Spray it on whenever you feel your skin needs a moisture boost.

Where people go wrong

People often skip sunscreen or don’t apply enough, leading to inadequate protection. Others may use heavy products that can clog pores, especially in warmer weather. Forgetting to reapply sunscreen is also a common error.

The pro moveTry layering your sunscreen with a tinted moisturiser for added sun protection and a light coverage look.
