The spring is just around the corner and our skin’s needs also change. We move from the cold and heating of winter to longer days, mild temperatures, and a greater sun exposure. In this regard, the skin “enters a process of cellular renewal and often shows dehydration and dryness,” explains Glenda Guarino, Spa Manager at Champneys Wellness Gran Marbella.
This transition is not usually kind, so it’s quite common to notice that your skin is more sensitive, lacks radiance, or even small breakouts may appear. And beware, because “all those changes we notice are common responses to the adaptation process. So don’t panic.” Added to this is the rise in temperature, which stimulates sebum production and makes the skin behave differently.
Mistakes we make in spring
In skincare, this is the season of mistakes. Many of us tend to think we should reduce hydration or set aside sunscreen because the skin doesn’t feel as dry. However, the expert makes clear that “the most common mistake is not using sunscreen daily. Radiation is present all year round and is one of the main causes of premature aging.” She also emphasizes the importance of not over-exfoliating. “One or two times a week is fine, more than that is not.”
The good news is that spring is also our opportunity to reset the skin and adjust any routine. “It’s a perfect time to reinforce hydration, opt for lighter textures and introduce actives such as hyaluronic acid or vitamin C,” she recommends. There’s no need for big changes; just keep in mind that less is more and that every skin is different and needs specific products and actives.
