Now that the weather is finally starting to warm up, it’s time to revamp your skincare routine for the spring season. Just like we update our closet, we need to update our skincare routines for the different seasons. After three months of a chilly, snowy winter that keeps our skin dry and itchy, it’s now time to indulge in a skincare routine for warmer months. Below are the steps to help you get clear, healthy skin. Whether you’re dealing with acne or dryness, these tips will help bring your skin back on track! Warmer weather means you may need to switch to lighter skincare products.
At GoodGuilt, we will help you pick sustainable products for your spring skincare routine. Keep reading for more details.
Use a light Face Cleanser-
In winters, we generally use oil-based or cream-based face cleansers to keep our face soft. Still, it’s advisable to switch to a gel-based face cleanser or foamy face cleanser when spring comes around. Our recommended face cleanser is Etee’s Facial Cleansing Bar- Charcoal & Aloe. It cleanses your face, canremove makeup, and eliminates toxins. This face soap is plant-based, and not tested on animals. The brand has eliminated plastic packaging such as tubes or bottles. It does not contain any harsh chemicals, sulfate or parabens. So it gets a thumbs up from us!
Use a Lighter Moisturizer-
In winters, the skin is dry, and so we use a heavier moisturizer. But in spring, the skin needs to feel refreshed. And our recommendation for this is Kate Mcleod’s Daily Stone Body Moisturizer. It has a light organic fragrance of rose, neroli and frankincense. It is so soft that it melts on the skin and gets absorbed easily — no rubbing it into the skin for a long time. The main ingredient of this moisturizer are cocoa butter and oils like almond, coconut, apricot and avocado. This brand’s products are vegan friendly, cruelty-free, plastic-free. You can check their website for many more such amazing products for your spring skincare routine.
Safeguard your Skin with Sunscreen-
Wearing sunscreen is an equally important routine, just like every other category. Whether you are indoors or outdoors, sunscreen is recommended by every dermatologist. Our personal favorite in the sunscreen category is SugarPoop’s Glowscreen Sunscreen. It’s a 40 SPF sunscreen that even acts as a makeup primer. It provides sun protection and hydration and a glowy, dewy look. It is dermatologically tested, clean and reef friendly.
Use a Retinol-
Retinol basically helps in reversing skin aging and prevents acne. Our recommended product is Josie Maran’s Argan Beta- Retinoid Pink Algae Serum. Pink Algae in this serum is naturally sourced that helps in reducing wrinkles on the skin. Retinol will brighten your skin, making it smooth and gentle. It is vegan, paraben-free, does not contain synthetic dye and is made out of clean ingredients. It should either be applied in the morning or at night to both your face and neck.
Sleeping Mask-
It is recommended to use a sleeping mask 2-3 times a week during spring and summer time. Our most loved product in this category is Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask. It is a breathable sleeping mask that is good for all skin types. It smoothes and refines the skin when you wear it overnight. It has watermelon, hyaluronic acid, and pumpkin extract. It is free from paraben, synthetic dyes and other harmful chemicals. It is Vegan and is cruelty-free. You can either apply it for 10 minutes and wash it off, or keep it overnight.
Now is the perfect time to start your spring skincare routine, so that your skin gets prepared for the new season. We hope you love our recommendations.
