Why this worksAs temperatures rise, your skin's needs change. In cooler months, your skin craves hydration, while spring calls for lighter textures and targeted treatments. This seasonal switch can help balance oil production and promote a fresh, radiant complexion.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Switch to a Lightweight Moisturiser Replace your heavy winter moisturiser with a lightweight, hydrating lotion or gel. This will keep your skin hydrated without feeling greasy, allowing for better absorption of other products.
  2. Incorporate Exfoliation Gently exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells accumulated over winter. Look for a chemical exfoliant with AHAs or BHAs, which can help reveal brighter skin underneath.
  3. Update Your Sunscreen Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and consider a formula that doubles as a moisturiser. This will protect your skin against UV damage while keeping it hydrated and fresh.
  4. Add Antioxidants Incorporate a vitamin C serum into your morning routine. Antioxidants help to protect your skin from environmental stressors, giving your complexion an invigorating boost.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to adapt their moisturiser for warmer weather, leading to excess oiliness. Others may over-exfoliate, causing irritation. Remember to patch-test new products and ease into changes gradually.

The pro moveConsider using a hydrating essence before your moisturiser for an extra layer of hydration.
