After a cold winter, here comes the sun! We are ready to welcome Spring and a Spring Skincare Routine! The first step? We give our clean skincare routine a little spring cleaning. Yes, spring cleaning means it's time to donate unused clothing and declutter your closet, but it also means it's time to clean out the skincare graveyard under your sink and refresh your self-care. When the season changes, so does the weather and the needs of your skin. With each change of season, it's time to switch up your skincare routine. Here are the basics on how to get your skincare routine ready for the spring season ahead.
During the winter, we need to protect our skin from dry, cold weather. During the spring, our spring skincare routine needs to focus on more sun protection and battle more blemishes in more humid climates. Your spring skincare routine goal is to optimize your skin hydration and defend against sun damage, pollution, and other environmental stressors.
Here are 5 simple ways to get your skin ready for spring:
Recommit to a practice of regular exfoliation
All the time is a good time to exfoliate, especially with skin over 30 when your cellular renewal has slowed. Exfoliation is essential to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin to reveal the newer, healthier cells underneath. In addition to improving your skin’s complexion, exfoliation helps boost circulation and stimulates the production of new skin cells. During the Spring season change, recommit to a practice of exfoliation. Too often, this is the skincare step we skip when it's essential for glowing results and to avoid excess breakouts. Exfoliate 3-5 times a week, morning and night, after cleansing your skin and before applying your skincare serum. Don't forget to exfoliate your body too as you show more skin.

Hydrate with the right Light Moisturizer
Hydration is always important, but you should change up your moisturizer with the seasons. In the winter you likely used a thicker, richer moisturizer but the coming of spring means it’s time to switch to something lighter. Choose a lightweight moisturizer that hydrates without clogging your pores and opt for hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid. If you’re looking for a lightweight moisturizer, try Hydralift Regular or Oil-Free, made to deliver luxurious and lasting hydration with a mega-dose of skin caring actives.

Always wear sunscreen and skip the suntan
You know this- but it's worth repeating. You should be wearing sunscreen each and every day you go outside, all year round. Though you may think of sunscreen as a summer-only necessity, spring is the time to start wearing it more often and reapplying it. Sunscreen not only protects your skin from sun damage but also prevents skin aging. Carry your sunscreen with you. You need to reapply a healthy amount frequently to properly protect your skin. Apply a thick layer of sunscreen to all exposed skin: the face, neck, chest, and hands. Use a self-tanner like Vacay to get the color you want without the sun damage.
