As the seasons change, so do our skin's needs. Winter skincare is often focused on hydration and protection from harsh weather conditions, while spring skincare is about refreshment, renewal, and preparation for the warmer months ahead.

Here are some reasons to adjust your skincare routine in the spring:

1. Changing weather: Spring weather can be unpredictable, with sudden changes in temperature and humidity. Your skin may become more sensitive or prone to breakouts.
2. Increased humidity: Spring air is often more humid, which can lead to oilier skin. Lightweight, oil-free products can help combat this.
3. Skin cell turnover: As the weather warms up, skin cell turnover increases, making spring a great time to exfoliate and brighten the skin.
4. Seasonal allergies: Spring allergies can lead to skin irritation, redness, and itchiness. Anti-inflammatory ingredients can help soothe and calm the skin.
5. Sun protection: Spring sunshine can be intense, and UV rays can still cause damage, even on cloudy days. Switch to a higher SPF or add a physical sunscreen to your routine.

Moving into Spring, skincare is all about refreshing, renewing, and revitalising our skin to achieve a radiant glow. In this article, we'll explore the best spring skincare tips, trends, and products to help you say goodbye to dull, dry skin and hello to a vibrant, healthy complexion.
