Spring Essentials for Radiant Skin

With warmer temperatures and longer hours of daylight upon us, it’s time to shift our winter skincare regimes to face these new skincare challenges beautifully. While our skin is incredibly adaptable and naturally adjusts to atmospheric conditions to maintain its balance, these changes often don’t happen quickly and completely enough to side-step the irritation, dryness, breakouts, and sun damage that can occur as spring puts in its very welcome appearance. Here are our expert-approved tips to transition seamlessly.

·      Cleanse Extra Thoroughly: As the temperatures climb and humidity increases, all skin types produce more sebum, potentially leading to increased shine, breakouts, and clogged pores, which means proper cleansing is nothing to be taken lightly. Powered by our patented MicroFusion Technology™, our Prelude Facial Treatment Cleanser acts like a magnet to draw out the micro-pollutants and pore-clogging debris that can cause inflammation, blemishes, redness, and accelerated aging without stripping skin.

·      Think Lightweight Moisture: Heavy winter creams may be too rich as the humidity surges, causing clogged pores or excess oil. But forgoing moisturizer altogether isn’t a practical option.  All skin types need hydration to support skin’s crucial protective moisture barrier and prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Look for lightweight yet effective hydrators like hyaluronic acid and moisturizers like glycerin. Our Renewing HA Serum with PPM⁶ technology incorporates our proprietary supercharged HA plus Glycerin and other proven ingredients to provide lightweight yet intensive hydration and moisture while boosting radiance and enhancing skin elasticity.

·      Up Your Antioxidants: Spring brings longer days and stronger ultraviolet rays, which increase our skin’s risk of free radical damage. Antioxidants like vitamin C help safeguard skin from the oxidative stress generated by the sun, pollution, and other toxins. Our HYDRI-C Daily Vitamin C Moisturizer incorporates our proprietary MicroFusion Technology™ to attract and transport active ingredients deep into skin. In as little as two weeks, HYDRI-C provides powerful antioxidant protection, helps stimulate collagen production, reduces wrinkles, brightens skin, improves elasticity, and helps reduce blemishes.

·      Be Sun-Savvy: Daily sunscreen application is non-negotiable now that we’re spending more time outdoors. And we need to remember that even on cloudy days, UV rays are out and about, contributing to premature aging, hyperpigmentation and increasing our risk of skin cancer. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen and reapplying every two hours and immediately after swimming or perspiring heavily.  One ounce of sunscreen, or enough to fill a shot glass, is the recommended amount to cover the exposed areas of the body. A nickel-sized dollop should effectively protect the face. For added protection, think: hats, sun-protective clothing, and sunglasses.
