With the advent of spring, everything in nature is renewed, and our skin is no exception. By the way, this is not an empty phrase: the arrival of spring objectively affects the hormonal background, and hence the condition of the skin. What to do with this information, we will explain below.
Skin condition after winter
Surely everyone has their own list of winter complaints. Obviously, all this is reflected in the condition of the skin:
it becomes dull, like a gloomy sky;
suffering from dehydration;
is deficient in vitamins.
One of the primary spring tasks is to put it in order.
1. Update
The word “update” is one of the first associations to the word “spring”. After all, the Russian winter is not the most favorable time for the skin, since this season is accompanied by:
low temperatures;
dry air in the room;
ice wind;
lack of light, and with it vitamin D;
vitamin-poor diet.
Check how well you take care of your skin.
Protecting itself from external influences, the skin builds up the stratum corneum – hence the dullness. Therefore, spring “cleansing” is appropriate for the skin. Scrubs give a good cleansing, refreshing, invigorating effect. After all, scrubbing also includes facial massage. Some exfoliants are suitable for daily care, others are recommended for use once a week.
Read labels carefully. Choose a scrub according to your skin type: some exfoliating particles may be too rough for dry, thin skin.

Soft scrub, La Roche-Posay
As the name implies, the scrub is very delicate. It can also be used for dry skin.

If you prefer acid-based peeling, this is also great for spring skin renewal. But remember: any exfoliation (both mechanical and chemical) requires the inclusion of an SPF product in your daily care.
The reason is an increase in the photosensitivity of the skin. When the top layer of cells is removed, the risk of sunburn or hyperpigmentation increases.
Sheet mask “Moisturizing + radiance of sakura” with sakura extract, Garnier
The traditional Garnier sheet mask moisturizing serum is enhanced with intensely moisturizing hyaluronic acid and sakura extract, which just help to soften the skin to combat dullness.

The peeling effect is provided by the fruit acids of lemon, blueberries, sugar cane, as well as Hepes acid, which stimulates the renewal of skin cells. In addition to exfoliating, the mask has a noticeable moisturizing and regenerating effect, as it contains the polysaccharide mannose. A good combination for spring skin care.
2. Intensive moisturizing
Additional moisture will not interfere with the arrival of spring.
Skin needs moisture all year round. So this is not news. Only optimally hydrated skin is able to effectively recover and function in general.
It makes no sense to change moisturizing care if it suits the skin. Just pamper her with moisturizing masks and serums.

3. Vitamins
Even children now know about spring beriberi. But the fact remains: from year to year we experience this state. And since, of all human organs, the skin is the last in line to receive vitamins from food, it is only reasonable to pamper it with vitamin creams. Most often, we lack vitamin C, which is also a strong antioxidant. Here are some ways to make up for the gap.
