How to Transition Your Skincare Routine Into Spring

Posted by bareMinerals on March 25th, 2020

The cold days of winter are finally coming to a close. While you’ve likely spent the last few months hiding inside where it’s warm and wearing layer upon layer of clothes, now it’s time to get out in the sun and enjoy it. Just as we make different fashion choices depending on the season, you should also be using different products and techniques to better protect and care for your skin during these warm, sunny months before summer really kicks into full swing.

Is your skincare routine ready for spring? Here are a few tips to help you transition flawlessly.

Spring Clean Your Essentials

The first step to prepping your routine for the spring is to spring clean your makeup bag and beauty essentials. You should check for products that you don’t use anymore or see if any are expired and dispose of them responsibly. Also, consider what has been working for you—like that serum you can’t stop raving about—and which products you’re merely using because you don’t want to have to find something else.

At the end of the day, skincare can be very much trial and error, so if something isn’t working, that’s okay! Look for alternatives like using a cleansing water instead of a cream-based face wash, for example, and consider trying clean beauty products that are free of harmful ingredients. It might make a world of difference.

Give Your Products an SPF Boost

While SPF is essential year-round, it’s especially crucial during these sunnier months. You won’t be hiding inside as much, which means you need as much protection as possible without weighing your skin down. Instead of slathering on sunblock, opt for makeup and skincare products with an SPF already built in. For example, the best foundations or tinted moisturizers will feature infused SPF protection while remaining light and luminous. To be extra good to your skin, choose a non-chemical, mineral-based formula with as few ingredients as possible.

Lighten Your Moisturizer

If you’ve been using a heavy cream moisturizer during the winter, it’s time to lighten up. Heavy products are almost like a blanket for your face—great during the cold months, but not ideal during the warmer months. Luckily, there are formulas specifically geared towards being ultra-light and soothing. Choose one that will provide all the moisturizing benefits you need without any unnecessary bulk or weight.

Exfoliate More Often

Exfoliating should be on your skincare to-do list year-round, but can be especially important during the transition to spring. While you’re trying to brush away dry, flaky skin during the winter, you should exfoliate in the spring to keep your skin from becoming stagnant in the sun. Your skin can maintain more oil and moisture during the warm months, so a gentle exfoliating toner used daily may help reduce excess oil that might collect on your face.
