Ready to feel all fresh-faced and fabulous this spring? Then it’s time to update your skincare routine, because what worked in winter might be different from what works now. Not sure where to start? Follow these expert tips for the best products and techniques to refresh your spring skincare routine.
If you’re excited about warmer weather and longer days, your complexion might already be looking luminous. But what if your skin is stuck in the blah’s of winter? Jump-start your glow with a 5-minute mask infused with ingredients like vitamin C and pineapple extract to hydrate and revive dull skin, revealing your best spring skin tone ever.
It’s not just your closet and clutter that need attention; your skin deserves a refresh, too. Look for gentle yet strong cleansers that will set a strong foundation for your Spring Skin Care Routine.
More time outside means it’s time to load up on antioxidants, which help prevent premature skin aging and damage. Get your antioxidants internally by “eating the rainbow,” and externally through products like Micellar Cleansing Water With Vitamin C. Want to learn more?

In the winter, a rich creamy moisturizer can feel divine. In the spring, with rising temperatures and humidity, not so much. Lighten up while still getting the hydration you need with a sheer, water-based formula that won’t clog pores or leave a greasy feel.
If you suffer from dry, itchy skin in spring there’s good news: Micellar Water offers nearly instant relief, and it’s easy to use on the fly. The trick is to find the right one, like SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water, infused with Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera to soothe and balance even the most sensitive skin.
Retinols are amazing for resurfacing and revitalizing your complexion, but sun exposure on fresh, new skin cells is not what you are going for. Protect your face from the brighter, longer days by using Retinol products near bedtime, and don’t forget your SPF in the morning!
This one is a given, but it’s so important we’ll say it again: Wear Sunscreen! (and no, the SPF in your makeup isn’t enough.) We know the struggle is real to find sun protection that won’t break you out or leave a ghostly white sheen, but there are some winners out there. Try SkinActive Clearly Brighter Anti-Sun Damage Daily Moisturizer SPF 30, which helps reduce the look of dark spots and other signs of sun damage. And in case you need a refresher, here’s Everything you need to know about sunscreen.
