4 rules of spring care

The spring sun is insidious – you really want to expose your face to the first warm rays, but you should not do this, at least if you have not applied protection in the form of a cream with SPF. How to take care of your skin in spring? This will be discussed in this article.

Features of the skin in the offseason

After a long winter, the skin of the face really does not look very good. Several factors come into play.

  • UV deficiency.

  • Constant temperature fluctuations: warm inside, cold outside.

  • Overdried air in the premises as a result of the operation of heating devices.

  • Lack of oxygen (in cold weather we spend too little time outside).

But that’s not all. Winter, as you know, is the best time for all kinds of cosmetic procedures – peelings, beauty injections, laser rejuvenation. As a result, the epidermis is actively renewed, which is undoubtedly a big plus, but at the same time it becomes more vulnerable to any external stimuli. Therefore, for those who practice it, by spring the skin may become more sensitive.

In such cases, it is often noticed that the usual cream does not give the expected effect. Even a regular moisturizer becomes too heavy or oily for the skin. What should you pay attention to in care during this difficult time?

Choose a product according to your skin’s needs

The best advice on skin care will be given by a beautician.

Try observing your skin for a few days and answering the following questions:

  1. What exactly does the epidermis react to with dryness or a feeling of tightness?

  2. What kind of cream does the skin “not accept” and does it roll off?

  3. What product causes edema and swelling in the morning?

If you cannot independently assess the behavior and condition of the skin, consult a beautician.

Spring skin care should be comprehensive, so use products regularly:

  • with powerful moisturizing agents: hyaluronic acid (it is ideal for any skin type), glycerin, squalane;

  • with antioxidants – vitamins A, E and C;

  • based on peptides;

  • with sun filters.

Cleanse your skin properly

Make-up not washed off before going to bed or neglecting the usual evening washing is a violation of the beauty routine. If such “crimes” are rare for you, you should not worry. But if you often deviate from the regime, do not be surprised to see early wrinkles, dullness and uneven skin tone.

Thorough cleansing in the spring is fundamentally important, as it gives the epidermis the opportunity for an easy respite and even a reboot. Therefore, don’t forget:

  • Daily wash with gel, mousse or foam (the choice of product depends on the type of skin). We wrote about this in detail here.

  • Once a week, carry out intensive cleansing of the skin to help the epidermis get rid of a layer of dead cells.

  • 1-2 times a month to carry out home peeling with the help of special tools.

Use special tools

Sheet masks are a sure way to bring back radiance and freshness to your face.

For example, if you feel that the skin began to tighten or it peels off, stock up on a few sheet masks and run a 10-day intensive skin care marathon with them. Here are some examples of how you can restore radiance and hydration to your skin by using sheet masks for 5-10 minutes, but daily. The result will be even better if you supplement them 2-3 times a week with a 5-minute facial massage.

For dry and flaky skin, use a sheet mask daily after washing your face in the morning or evening, keeping it on your face for 10-15 minutes.

If you have oily skin, store sheet masks in the refrigerator. This will help shrink the pores during exposure.

For very dry skin, first apply essence with aloe or cucumber extract to the face, and only then – a sheet mask.

Don’t Forget SPF

The first rays of the sun always bring joy. But before you turn your face to them, do not forget about sunscreen. In early spring, the sun is especially active and will not be slow to affect the condition of the skin in an unfavorable way, provoking pigmentation and dryness.
