As the seasons change, so should your skincare routine! Spring brings warmer temperatures, increased sun exposure, and higher humidity, all of which can impact your skin. At Southface Dermatology Clinic, we’re here to help you transition seamlessly with expert advice for fresh, radiant skin this season.
1. Switch to a Lighter Moisturiser
Winter calls for rich, heavy creams, but as spring arrives, opt for a lighter, hydrating moisturiser that won’t feel too heavy on the skin. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated without clogging pores.
2. Don’t Skip the SPF
Springtime sun exposure can be deceptive! UV rays are strong year-round, so apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily—even on cloudy days. This helps prevent premature ageing, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.
3. Exfoliate for a Fresh Start
After months of cold, dry weather, your skin may have built up dead skin cells. Gently exfoliate 1-2 times per week with a mild chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA) or an enzyme-based scrub to reveal a brighter complexion.
4. Hydrate from Within
With rising temperatures, your skin loses more moisture. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and incorporating water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges into your diet.
5. Spring Clean Your Skincare Routine
Just like your wardrobe, your skincare routine needs a seasonal refresh! Check expiration dates on your products and replace anything outdated. Swap thick winter creams for lightweight serums and gels.
6. Treat Seasonal Breakouts
Changes in humidity and temperature can trigger breakouts. Switch to a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser, and use niacinamide or salicylic acid to keep skin clear.
7. Repair Winter Skin Damage
If your skin is still dry or dull from winter, consider professional treatments like Hydrafacial, chemical peels, or skin boosters to restore a healthy glow.
8. Protect Your Lips & Eyes
Your lips and the delicate skin around your eyes are extra sensitive to seasonal changes. Use a hydrating lip balm with SPF and a brightening eye cream to keep these areas protected and nourished.
9. Consider a Skin Check
Spring is the perfect time to schedule a mole and skin health check to ensure your skin is in its best condition for the months ahead.
10. Refresh with a Professional Treatment
Spring is the perfect season for laser treatments, facials, and rejuvenating skin therapies. At Southface Dermatology Clinic, we offer personalised treatments tailored to your skin’s needs.
