I have 7 Steps to a Great Spring Skincare Routine for you today – are you ready to get your skin in shape for summer?
As the days grow longer and flowers begin to bloom, spring offers the perfect opportunity to refresh not just your wardrobe but your skincare too.
After a winter of heavy creams and battling dryness, your skin is ready for a lighter, brighter routine. Here’s how to step into spring with glowing, healthy skin—starting with a great cleansing routine.
7 Steps to a Great Spring Skincare Routine
1. Switch to a Gentle Cleanser
The foundation of any skincare routine is cleansing. In spring, opt for a gentle, hydrating cleanser like the Virgin Organic Hemp Seed Oil Super Cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin’s natural oils. It will help clean away sweat, pollen, and pollution—common springtime irritants—while keeping your skin balanced. It is a a 100% natural, chemical-free cleansing oil made to nourish as it purifies.
Not all cleansers are this good and many will strip your skin of it’s natural goodness. be choosy with what you use!
Tip: Cleanse your face twice daily—once in the morning to remove sweat and oil built up overnight, and once at night to cleanse away makeup, SPF, and daily grime.
2. Exfoliate Weekly (But Gently!)
Exfoliation helps slough away dead skin cells and reveal the fresh, radiant layer beneath. But don’t overdo it—once or twice a week is plenty. Look for a gentle chemical exfoliant with AHAs like lactic or glycolic acid, which can brighten the skin without harsh scrubbing.
Bonus: Exfoliating regularly helps other products like serums and moisturisers absorb more effectively.
3. Hydrate with a Light Moisturiser
Winter calls for rich, occlusive creams, but spring is the time to switch to a lightweight moisturiser. Gel-based or water-based formulas are ideal—they hydrate the skin without feeling heavy or greasy. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which draws moisture into the skin, keeping it plump and dewy.
For oily or acne-prone skin, opt for a non-comedogenic formula to prevent clogged pores.
4. Boost with Antioxidants
Spring means more sunshine—and more exposure to free radicals. Add a vitamin C serum to your morning routine to brighten your complexion and defend against environmental damage. Antioxidants are also great for reducing pigmentation and supporting collagen production, making your skin look fresher and more youthful.
5. Never Skip Sunscreen
As the sun gets stronger, SPF becomes your best friend. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and apply it every morning—rain or shine. If you’re spending time outdoors, reapply every two hours.
Try: A lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen that doubles as a primer under makeup.
6. Refresh Your Tools and Towels
Spring cleaning applies to your skincare tools too. Wash your makeup brushes, facial rollers, and change your pillowcases and towels regularly to keep bacteria at bay. This helps prevent breakouts and keeps your skin looking its best.
7. Eat well and Drink More Water
Beauty starts from the outside in so eat healthily and drink a lots of water and your skin will thank you!
Wishing you beautiful Spring skin!
