Every few months the seasons change meaning your skincare routine might have to switch it up. With temperature changing, sun exposure levels rising, and environmental changes coming, you want to make sure that your skin will be prepared. To do that you will have to change your skincare routine. Here are some tips and procedures one can do to make sure your skin is ready for the warmer months.
Tips for Spring Skincare
- Exfoliation
An increase in sweat with warmer temperatures will mean an increase in the need for exfoliation, due to the sweat being able to clog your pores. We recommend starting with a mild and gentle exfoliation to keep your skin clear and glowing. Chemical peels are a great way to receive exfoliation for your dead and outer layers of the skin.
- Use lighter moisturizer
When you are getting ready for warmer weather, your daily moisturizer needs to change as well. The heavy moisturizer is great to load up on in the colder months but will not do well in the spring due to the temperature and humidity increase. You should switch to a lightweight moisturizer or gel, that will get absorbed quicker. Check out our Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum that we recommend for a lighter moisturizer.
- Pay attention to SPF
With the springtime having an increase in sunlight and UV Rays, you should also be increasing the amount of SPF you use on your skin. If you are spending time outside you run the risk of your skin getting damaged by the sun!
Don’t let the sun stop you from enjoying the nice weather. Just make sure you are using products that are high-quality and can take care of your skin as you’re outside. Products like this Oil Free Tinted Moisturizing Sunscreen can take care of all your SPF needs.
- Use products with Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that you can use to protect your skin against free radicals in the air and in the environment. We offer a C+E Brightening Serum that includes healthy amounts of Vitamin C! Click here to check it out.
As you can see, there are many ways to protect yourself as the weather begins to warm up and the sun is out more often. If you are curious about any of the other offerings Illume has, you can visit the shop here.
