According to the beauty experts at Fresha, skin tends to become more sensitive in warmer conditions, meaning it’s important to accommodate your routine to the change of season.
Incorporating certain products into your daily life can help to combat ageing and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
SPF
The experts said: “As the months get warmer, it’s hugely important to use SPF products. Incorporating them into your skincare routine is a must to protect yourself from the sun and keep you feeling refreshed this spring.
“You should apply products containing SPF as the last step in your skincare routine to allow your skin to receive maximum protection as you spend more time outdoors.
“It’s vital to use a high SPF of at least 30 and wait at least 20 minutes after application before going outside.”
Vitamin C
Incorporating vitamin C into your skincare routine will provide an abundance of benefits, including protection against UV rays.
It can also boost hydration and brightness, giving your skin a gorgeous glow.
The pros added: “Overcast weather can be an unexpected cause of sunburn in spring, but vitamin C serums can help soothe painful sunburns and protect against long-term sun damage, making it an essential product in this season’s skincare routine.
“However, it’s important to note that new products should be gradually introduced to your skincare routine to test how your skin reacts to the change.”
Niacinamide
Many people struggle with dry skin after the winter months which is where niacinamide serums can be particularly useful.
They help to boost the skin’s hydration and enhance moisture, perfect to help recover the skin from winter.
The skincare pros noted: “As the warmer weather sets in, your face will naturally start to produce more oil, but niacinamide serums also helps to regulate oil production, removing any excess oils from your skin.
“It’s recommended to use it in both your morning and evening skincare routine and to apply the product after cleansing and toning.
“Niacinamide should also be applied before using more acidic serums, such as vitamin C.”
Use a gel cleanser
Thick cleansing creams may be ideal for the winter months, but gel ones are wiser during the summer months.
Gel cleaners offer a light and refreshing way to cleanse the skin, reducing the risk of breakouts in warmer weather.
They can effectively deep clean the skin without stripping away natural oils, giving a healthy glow.
