Spring is a season of revival, with flowers blooming, birds singing, and your skin waking up from its thick layer of chapstick and winter moisturiser. Your skin is undoubtedly ready for a change in seasonal skin care after months of suffering through the bitter cold and the heated, dry air indoors.
Get your healthy glow on by waking your skin from its winter slumber with these eight steps to glowing springtime skin.
Exfoliate Your Skin
Exfoliating away the winter’s leftover layer is the first step towards having radiant skin. Your thick winter coats may have prevented dead skin from properly peeling off, even though skin cells are always regenerating. The best technique to exfoliate skin is to use a powerful yet mild scrub to give your entire body a thorough exfoliation while taking a hot bath. All over, pay particular attention to the knees, elbows, feet, hands, and back—areas that are prone to rough patches.
Keep in mind that the majority of body scrubs are too abrasive for your face. For more fragile skin, use a face-specific product to exfoliate. Always use moisturizer thereafter to replenish your newly exposed skin!
Hydrate Your Body
Does it feel like the key to any diet, exercise, and skin care regimen is to drink more water? That’s because your body will truly benefit from it! Your skin is the greatest organ in your body, and it needs water to operate properly. You’ll find it simpler to prevent dry, flaky skin the more water you consume.
Always Wear Sunscreen
Sunscreen is useful for more than just beach days. Harmful UV rays can still penetrate your skin on cloudy days. Protect it! Apply sunscreen to prevent UV damage to your skin, even on overcast days. Seek out a product that is lightweight and won’t clog pores.
Fruits and Vegetables for Skin
Speaking of hydration, eating fresh fruit and vegetables as a snack is a terrific way to consume more water throughout the day. Fresh produce, especially fruits and vegetables, may make a satisfying snack as they are high in vitamins and minerals as well as the water your body requires. Water can also help prevent indications of ageing by maintaining the flexibility of your skin. Carrots, apples, watermelon, lettuce, broccoli, and grapefruit are all excellent foods for good skin. Citrus fruits are very beneficial for skin health, according to studies.
Light Moisturizer
As the days get warmer, the thick, heavy moisturizer, you applied during the winter may start to leave an oily coating on your skin. Use a lighter moisturizer as part of your spring skin care regimen to keep your skin nourished and healthy without making it seem greasy.
Exercise
It might seem impossible to fit working out at home or going to the gym into your hectic schedule. In summary, physical activity elevates blood circulation, hence contributing to the preservation of sound skin cells. Happy skin cells equate to happy skin! You’re not even required to work out. Practice yoga on your lawn for thirty minutes if the weather permits. Alternatively, make the most of the crisp spring weather by going for a little stroll in the cozier evening air with your children or your dog.
Clean make-up brush
While you’re spring cleaning your cupboards and closets, don’t forget to pay attention to your cosmetic products. Makeup brushes and sponges can build up a seriously yucky amount of hard-to-see grime and bacteria, and each use applies germs to your face. Gently wash your brushes with a natural cleanser, then lay them flat to dry for 24 hours
