Spring skin care, cleansing the skin

As in the winter, the cleansing your skin at this time of the year it is advisable that you carry it out twice a day In the morning and at night - with proper make-up removal, using gentle, non-aggressive products that remove dirt and greasy residue without drying out the skin. If these products incorporate moisturising agents, you will achieve a double effect: cleansing and moisturising.

Repair and hydration

Your skin has been parched after the winter and you need to use in these spring months moisturising creams that help to capture water from the skin and retain it.. It is recommended that you choose moisturisers that contain emollients and moisturising agents, with active ingredients that have a repairing and regenerative action.

Among the products you can select for the skin care, you can opt for natural cosmetic lines that provide your skin with this regeneration, repair and hydration; or you can choose to intensive repairers prior to your usual cream, such as ampoules or capsules, serums, moisturising masks, etc...

With the arrival of warmer temperatures and a greater effect of the sun on our skin, some areas such as the neck and décolleté will have a higher exposure to the effect of the sun, so it is important that you consider applying these products to those parts of your body as well.

Eye, lip and hand contour

Too much sun and its effects on our eyes make us frown because of the discomfort caused by the sun's rays. For this reason, it is advisable to moisturise your eye contour well in spring. To fill these expression wrinkles, and to obtain the necessary internal hydration in terms of capturing and retaining water, we must choose products that contain regenerating active ingredients that stimulate the formation of hyaluronic acid in the contours around your eyes.

For your lips and your handsThe hydration and protection they needed in the winter season will no longer be as necessary in the warmer and milder weather because they will no longer dry out as much. But don't forget to use moisturising products at least once a day, to keep lips and hands in good condition for the summer season.

By the way, if you are prone to such discomforts spring allergies Remember to always have a repair balm and protective products for your lips and nose. That way you will avoid irritation of these areas and the risk of flaking.

Wrinkle cosmetics 

The effects of the sun in these spring months are not yet too aggressive. Therefore, in the spring skin careThe combination of cosmetic products that provide active ingredients that attenuate wrinkles, such as hydroxy acids, retinol and vitamin C, with other moisturising, repairing and regenerating agents will help you to your skin is smooth, soft and exfoliated.

Sun protection

The protection index should be at least spf 30, but we will increase it up to spf 50 if we are undergoing a specific medical or cosmetic treatment.

Nutritional supplements 

Although the contribution of antioxidant nutritional supplements is very positive all year round, spring is an ideal time to start taking nutritional supplements that prevent seasonal hair loss and strengthen hair, as well as fighting free radical elements that cause skin ageing.

Top tips

The skin is the first part of our body to detect the effects of changes in climate, temperature and the effect of the sun. We have to keep a close eye on the spring skin care. As a compilation of what we have seen, these are the guidelines to keep in mind:

  • The sun protection against the sun's raysto prevent our skin from being damaged and ageing. We must prepare our skin for these coming months, with the right protection factor and the right cream depending on your skin type, whether it is oily, dry, etc.
  • The EYE CONTOUR is the area where expression wrinkles are most visible. The skin is very thin and vulnerable to all kinds of aggressions. For this reason, we must apply specific products for the care of this area, which help to avoid eye irritation.
  • Neck and décolleté We have kept them covered up in winter, but we will start to show them off from now on. Although we can use the same products for these areas as for the face, in general, you have to take into account that the skin is thinner and more delicate on the neck and décolletage. Beware of aggressive products.

  • The hydration of your skin will be boosted with the creams emollients and moisturisers, but for wrinkles it is necessary to apply specific products, such as retinoids and hydroxy acids, as in the case of retinol. Consultation with a dermatologist is always a good idea, so that he or she can recommend the most appropriate, personalised treatment.
  • Physical exercise oxygenates the skin as well as the body. Sweating removes not only fatty residues, but also those toxins that damage our skin.
