Your skin care routine has brought you through the winter months flawlessly. It’s kept the ambient cold from drying out and discoloring your skin and has, all in all, generally done an excellent job. However, in order to maintain those results, you’ll need to make a few changes to your routine. Understanding the differences between proper winter vs spring skin care is imperative to transitioning into the warmer weather without having your skin suffer.
During the winter, you want a strong, thick moisturizer to stave off the cold. Often, that involves thick, oily lotion-like moisturizers that sit on the skin rather than integrating entirely into it. Spring requires a lighter tough, as oily moisturizers can cause irritating pollen to stick to your face. Try using Timeless HA spray in conjunction with a pure hyaluronic acid serum instead.
During the winter, the number of contaminants seeping into your pores is minimal. That all changes in the spring. Sweat and airborne contaminants will cling to your skin. Therefore, be sure to scrub and exfoliate your skin each and every night so you can start the next day with a clean slate.
Perhaps the most valuable piece of spring skin care advice you could follow is adding a sunscreen to your routine. As the weather grows warmer and you spend more times outdoors, your skin will be exposed to harmful, drying UV rays more often, so implementing a sunscreen anytime you’re outside is an absolute must.
In order to give your skin the care it needs, you’ll need to go on a shopping spree for a few key items, such as the moisturizer and exfoliating agents previously mentioned. Furthermore, if you catch skin care stores at the perfect time, you’ll likely be able to enjoy some serious sales for precisely the products you need.
Taking care of your cold spring transitional care should be your top priority as the weather continues to heat up. Speak to experts at a beauty supply shop to get some excellent recommendation for your skin type.

They say everything in nature is about balance, and that is no less true when it comes to our skin. Achieving the delicate ying and yang of beautiful skin may come down to maintaining the right pH balance. So, what is the magic pH level of healthy skin? On a scale of 0 to 14, the ideal state is slightly acidic, sitting around 5.
What products we use can also affect the pH level of healthy skin. Have you ever wondered why some cleansers give your skin that squeaky-clean tight feeling? They could be disrupting your skin’s pH level. Choose soap-free cleansers that are pH balanced (not too alkaline or too acidic) that fall within the range of normal, healthy skin.
