Birds chirping, flowers budding, and your skin escaping from its winter routine of intense moisturizer and chapstick. Your skin is undoubtedly ready for a change in a seasonal skin care after months of alternating between hot, dry indoor air and the harsh cold weather outside.
Add Antioxidants:
Antioxidants are beneficial all year round, but they are especially beneficial in the spring and summer, when higher UV rays can harm unprotected skin. Not only can too much sun cause direct DNA damage, but UV-induced free radicals can also tear down collagen and elastin. Free radicals, which are extremely harmful substances in the atmosphere, can also harm your skin. Therefore, retinol and vitamin C are skincare essentials for each season. After cleaning your face and applying sunscreen, apply an antioxidant serum, such as vitamin C, to help build the skin barrier and make it less vulnerable to these environmental effects. The best spring skincare routine should include a vitamin c serum in the morning, SPF during the day, and plant-based retinol (bakuchiol) serum for during the night.
Use Plant-Based Retinol:
During the spring and summer months, you can still use retinol, but apply it at night rather than in the morning. Retinol use should be limited to one or two times per week if irritation occurs. Wear plenty of sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face from the sun during the day. Find out what the experts have to say about bakuchiol vs retinol, a popular plant-based alternative to synthetic retinol.
Help for Under Eye bags:
Use an under eye cream with antioxidants in the morning and at night. Consider getting under eye filler if you have dark circles and sunken eyes. Fillers are used to replace lost volume in areas of the face, such as the under eyes, making them appear more young and reducing dark circles. They can aid to give a more naturally rested appearance for anyone with darker circles or lack of fat in the tear troughs/under-eye area.
Add Niacinamide To Your Skincare Routine:
Vitamin C face cream or serum should be an important part of your daily spring skincare routine. However, niacinamide and vitamin c can be combined and used together. Niacinamide is becoming more popular among skincare lovers. You can layer it with vitamin C and use both at the same time.
Use Sunscreen:
Don’t forget your sunscreen as the weather warms up and you spend more time outside. It’s important to use sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days, to prevent your skin from aging and possibly melanoma. Look for sunscreens with 30-50 SPF.
