SPRING SKINCARE: WHAT DOES YOUR SKIN NEEDS TO GET SPRING READY

As soon as the first warm breeze brushes our cheeks, we know: Spring is finally here. That's wonderful! After all, our endorphins get going and let us float light-footed through the day. But it also means: mood swings for the skin. Sometimes it reacts sensitively to the change in weather. And now? It's simple: give it just the right care to strengthen it and help it enjoy the new season. We present five must-haves from the facial care sector.

Everything new comes with spring. As the saying goes? All beginnings are difficult. This also applies to our skin. Once it has become accustomed to dry winter air, a new era begins at the start of spring. For a balanced, clear and radiant complexion, your face needs above all: moisture and strengthening. You can get this not only from the inside through a clean, healthy diet and plenty of water. Anti-ageing creams with special plant extracts and natural active ingredients also help to strengthen stressed skin. The result: a fine-pored complexion with improved elasticity.

Get spring ready

Facial care and body care are part of everyday life for all of us. In particular, after a long winter we have to take care of our dry skin. Because let’s be honest: we are winter tired. Rough skin on the arms and legs, as well as the pale, often impure and uneven complexion, wrinkles around the eyes, chapped lips, neglected feet, the list goes on. The long cold season looks like an enormous dry spell for our skin. Literally. While we are freezing outside in the cold, thanks to the heating, it is summery inside – creating quite a challenge for our skin. As the sebum production slows down during the cold season, the skin’s own protective coat weakens – the fine film of fat and moisture on the skin is getting thinner. As a result, harmful substances and irritants can penetrate more easily and cause skin stress. In addition, much more natural moisture is lost when the air is dry due to the heat.

But there are good news.

So that our tired-looking skin can experience the change of seasons as relaxed as possible and have a beautiful glow, we can already start to gently wake it up from the winter sleepiness. So bye, bye winter, until next time.

N0 1 Quench your skin’s thirst

Sun protection and moisture instead of overly greasy creams and too much make-up. The secret recipe for skin care in spring is that simple. Use products with hyaluronic acid and regularly move in the fresh air. It creates the best conditions for the complexion to be healthy and radiantly beautiful in the warm season.

Instead of water-in-oil formulations that protect against the cold in winter, the skin now primarily needs moisture, i.e. lighter oil-in-water formulas.

The skin is particularly sensitive in the transition period, which is noticeable through dry spots. No matter how often you apply cream, it doesn’t get any better. There is a simple solution: quench your skin’s thirst with hyaluronic acid, or nature’s answer the silverear mushroom. Products containing hyaluronic will help to deeply hydrate each layer of your skin to give your skin back its bounce and also make it look fresh and plump. If you suffer from particularly dry patches, treat yourself with a hyaluronic mask. Apply it overnight so that the skin has the opportunity to absorb the moisture it needs. In this case, don’t be afraid to use too much. The skin only absorbs as much moisture as it actually needs.

Your complexion will quickly look much rosier and fresher again.

Hyaluronic acid - Foundation of youth

Hyaluronic Acid is a true fountain of youth due to its ability to bind a great deal of moisture. Many skin creams therefore prefer to use the active ingredient to give the skin a plumper and fresher appearance. Current trend: Novelty complements the tried and tested. Exotic active ingredients such as bee venom, plant placenta, moringa or copaiba are increasingly finding their way into cream pots. These substances, which are considered natural remedies, are said to stimulate cell renewal and gently combat signs of skin fatigue and wrinkles. This is how your skin experiences its very own springtime: with new energy and an all-round invigorating feeling!

N0 2 Spring cleaning the skin

Not only does your apartment need a spring clean. Your skin would also like to be prepared for the easier season. Moving from drying heating air to icy cold climates made it difficult to manage the skin during the winter season. Thus, a deep cleanse using a peeling is best suited for this. This effectively removes dead cells and dry skin cells and helps your skin breath deeply.

With a thorough exfoliation, the old, dry dandruff can now be removed. You can simply use a luff and use it under the shower or make it part of your day and night care on your entire body to gently exfoliate your skin. In addition, treat yourself to a beautiful mask to clean your pores. You can use exfoliation mask that use actives such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to dissolve the “glue” that binds old skin cells together on your skin’s surface, all without any scrubbing or scraping. This type of exfoliations can be surprisingly thorough and a gentle way to clean your pores on a deeper level. In fact, research shows that regular use of glycolic and lactic acid (both AHAs) leads to significant skin improvement and rejuvenation.

N0 3 Vitamin Boost for rosy-looking skin

Now it is important to support the skin’s metabolism and strengthen its balance with antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the outer layers of the skin from free radical damage. Your typical antioxidants are A, C, E and in addition use ingredients such as green tea or polyphenols. But a real powerhouse is niacinamide. It supports and strengthens your skin barrier and alleviates skin tone irregularities.

Anti Ageing with Vitamin C

Vitamin C provides an impressive anti ageing kick! Try it and you will be thrilled by the fast and effective result with which your anti-aging serum reduces fine lines and wrinkles and noticeably tightens your skin. Collagen is a component of the skin that makes it look firm and even. Over time, the concentration of collagen in the skin decreases, causing the skin to look saggy and the first wrinkles to appear. Vitamin C helps the skin to form collagen and plumps up the skin again. The facial skin regains its youthful, fresh elasticity.

N0 4 Don't forget the décolletage

As temperatures rise, the desire for breezy spring fashion increases. A beautiful, well-groomed décolleté is indispensable! Bring down your skincare all the way to the neck and décolletage.

N0 5 Sun protection

When the long winter finally comes to an end and we step outside our homes to enjoy the first sunny rays, it is time to adjust the skin to spring and summer. Instead of wintry paleness, sun-kissed skin is announced again. It is often forgotten that the delicate rays of the spring sunshine are quite intense. Those who refrain from good sun protection when it comes to skincare in the spring, don’t do their skin a favour. As our skin needs to slowly adjust and get used to the sun rays again after a long winter. And even if it has built its own protection, this is barely enough to effectively prevent sunburn, premature ageing and possible wrinkles. The top rule for skincare in spring is therefore. Never give up high-quality sun protection.

Finally, in this season, the motto is “less is more”. Instead of resorting to heavy make-up, a slightly tinted day cream is usually sufficient for skincare in spring. But make sure it has hyaluronic acid as part of its formulation to hydrate your skin throughout the day.
