Spring skincare routine: Revive your skin after winter!

Winter is a demanding period for our skin – low temperatures, dry indoor air and a lack of sunlight can leave it dehydrated, dull and more sensitive. With the arrival of spring, however, we get an opportunity for regeneration and renewal to restore the skin’s freshness, elasticity and healthy glow.

SPRING SKINCARE ROUTINE – WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

• The weather and the skin’s needs are changing – the cold months required richer creams and more intensive protection against dryness, but with the arrival of warmer days the skin needs lighter hydration and increased protection against UV radiation.
• Detox and regeneration – after winter, the skin can be burdened with impurities and dead cells, so it is important to focus on gentle exfoliation and nourishment.
• Protection against pigmentation and premature ageing – in spring the intensity of the sun increases, which means that if we want to prevent pigment spots and wrinkles, daily use of SPF is essential.
• Hydration as the key to healthy skin – if the skin suffers water loss after winter, it may be more sensitive, more prone to irritation and loss of elasticity. The spring routine is the ideal way to replenish the necessary nutrients.

SPRING SKINCARE ROUTINE – BASIC STEPS

Spring skincare does not have to be complicated, but it should include the basic steps: gentle cleansing, exfoliation, intensive hydration, nourishment and sun protection.

Gentle spring detox: Deep cleansing of the skin

After winter, it is important to rid the skin of accumulated impurities and dead cells, while at the same time not exposing it to excessive drying. Ideally, use gentle cleansing gels or oils that respect the skin’s natural barrier.

Suitable ingredients:

Almond oil – gently dissolves impurities and hydrates
Castor oil – supports thorough pore cleansing
Tea tree essential oil– antibacterial effect against skin imperfections

FLUIDIFEEL EASY, cold process emulsifier O/W – suitable for formulating light and gentle emulsions

Polyglyceryl-4-oleate – an excellent emulsifier for producing natural cleansing oils or balms

Brightening peeling – removal of dead cells

To restore the skin’s radiance, a gentle peel is ideal, helping to remove dry flakes and support regeneration.

Suitable ingredients:

Ground pumice powder for peeling– gently exfoliates the skin and removes dead cells

Cosmetic clay, yellow, illite - gently tones the skin, eliminates excess sebum and tightens pores

Rose water, hydrolate– hydrates, refreshes and tones the skin

Hydration and nourishment – awakening the skin for the new season

Spring calls for lighter hydrating products that do not overburden the skin but provide the necessary nutrients. A great choice is, for example, a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid.

Suitable ingredients:
Hyaluronic acid  – intensive hydration of the skin

Aloe vera gel – soothes and softens the skin
Rosehip oil – regenerates and brightens

Sun protection – an essential step in the spring routine!

With increasing sunlight, SPF is absolutely essential. If you produce your own cosmetics, look for mineral UV filters, such as zinc oxide, which protect the skin without unnecessary chemicals.

Suitable ingredients:

Raspberry seed oil – natural SPF protection
Carrot oil – antioxidant with protection against UV radiation
Shea butter – hydrates and nourishes

Zinc oxide - provides high protection against UV radiation
