Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine and give your complexion a seasonal reset. Just as we swap out heavy winter clothes for breezier fabrics, our skin benefits from lighter, more breathable products as temperatures rise. A spring detox for your skin is all about nourishing it with the right ingredients while avoiding those that may weigh it down or cause congestion. Here’s your ultimate guide to transitioning your skincare routine for spring.
Ingredients to ADD for a Springtime Glow ✨
1. Hyaluronic Acid – Warmer weather means increased moisture in the air, but that doesn’t mean you should skip hydration! Hyaluronic acid helps your skin retain water, keeping it plump and fresh without heaviness. Our Deep Blue Searum is the perfect lightweight hydrator to keep your skin dewy and balanced.
2. Niacinamide – This powerhouse ingredient helps regulate oil production, so your skin stays shine-free yet hydrated. It also strengthens the skin barrier and soothes any lingering winter irritation.
3. AHAs & PHAs – Gentle exfoliation is key in spring to slough off winter’s dullness and reveal fresh, radiant skin. Unlike harsh scrubs, chemical exfoliants like glycolic acid (AHA) and gluconolactone (PHA) brighten and refine texture without irritation.
4. Antioxidants – With increased sun exposure, antioxidants like vitamin C and green tea extract help fight free radical damage and boost SPF effectiveness. These ingredients keep your skin protected and glowing all season long.
Ingredients to AVOID as Weather Warms Up 🚫
1. Heavy Occlusive Oils – Thick oils like coconut oil and shea butter can be great for winter but may feel too heavy and clog pores in spring. Instead, opt for lightweight hydrators like squalene or jojoba oil.
2. Harsh Physical Scrubs – Over-exfoliating with gritty scrubs can lead to irritation and microtears in the skin. Stick to gentle chemical exfoliation to keep your skin smooth without damage.
3. Overly Rich Creams – While deeply nourishing creams are great for cold weather, they may be too heavy in spring and lead to congestion. Swap them out for lightweight serums and gel-based moisturizers, like our Deep Blue Searum, to maintain hydration without feeling greasy.
4. Alcohol-Based Products – Some toners and astringents contain drying alcohols that strip the skin of natural oils, leading to increased oil production and breakouts. Instead, opt for hydrating toners with soothing ingredients.
