As much as your outfit and food choices change from season to season, so should your skincare routine. Spring is just around the corner (we can see those daffodils!), meaning it’s time to ditch your winter skincare routine, have a spring clean and start fresh!
A change in temperature from cold and drying indoor heating to warm(er), more exposure to sunlight, and an increase in humidity can all take a toll on your skin, so it’s time to update your skincare shelf and adapt to your skin's needs.
The moisturiser you had to sink deep into your skin that left you feeling super hydrated throughout winter may be a little too heavy to take into the spring months, so try substituting your old moisturiser for something a little lighter. We recommend having an online consultation with Karen, Founder of BLOMMA Beauty, to see what might suit your skin type, in conjunction with the change in weather.
More blue sky means a need for a greater SPF (we still want you to wear sun protection every day though!) Wear an SPF of at least 15, and spring into better, bouncier and more protected skin!
Truly step up your routine with a powerful Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps provide skin with extra natural sun protection, promotes collagen production and minimises fine lines, brown spots and brightens your overall complexion (what more could you ask for?!)
Top Tip: By pairing your favourite Vitamin C product with your SPF - you can guarantee extra UVA + B protection!
It's time to get rid of that dull, flaky winter skin that we’ve covered with our big slouchy knitwear jumpers and joggers, and start exfoliating! Since we’re likely to have more skin on show, it’s always a bonus to have smoother, softer looking skin just in time for Spring! We recommend opting for exfoliators and masks that offer essential nutrients and Vitamins, while also enhancing skin tone and texture.
As well as skincare, make-up is just important to change too! I know we're all guilty of keeping our make-up products longer than we should, so this is the perfect excuse to refresh your make-up stash! It’s time to swap your heavy foundation with something a little lighter; BB Creams, and CC Creams are the perfect investment for just that.
In addition to lighter foundations, powder and primer are the perfect combo to keep your make-up intact and stop it from sweating off.
Just a few more days before Spring, which means it's time to start taking these baby steps to a fresher skin routine!
