Each season offers a new opportunity to elevate our self-care habits, inclusive of skincare, and with the warming temperatures of spring, come new needs to maintain your healthy skin routine. While visiting your trusted esthetician is an ideal option, there is also the aspect of consistent skincare at home to keep your skin glowing through the season. Here are a few ways to easily transition to your spring skincare routine.

Try Double Cleansing

Whether relaxing, working, or working out, springtime weather beckons us to go out and enjoy it. This may mean more sweating and exposure to impurities in the area – either of which can clog your pores and leave your skin dull and unable to fully absorb skincare products meant to help it stay healthy.

As you would spring clean your home, try spring cleansing your skin to give it a deep clean and free it of sweat and impurities. The first step is to cleanse your skin morning and evening with a nourishing cleansing balm and then follow it with a lighter water-based cleanser meant to refresh the skin.

Commit To Exfoliating Your Skin Each Week

Spring is the ideal time to start rethinking weekly exfoliation – twice per week to be exact. Our skin can become dry and flaky during the winter months and while dry skin cells may naturally fall off, some stay behind on your skin. This can lead to congested pores and a dull complexion. Add to this, sweat and pollution. At this point, your skin is ready to take a deep breath. This is why exfoliation is key to healthy, glowing skin. Exfoliating prevents buildup of all of these elements and prepares your skin to efficiently absorb additional skincare products.

A perfect pairing with the rose cleansing balm is the ELEMIS Gentle Rose Exfoliator. This skin-smoothing polish contains micro-spherical jojoba beads that are blended with hydrating rose absolute to gently refine the skin’s surface, while cucumber extracts soothe and refresh it – leaving your skin with a radiant glow. When applying a scrub, keep the pressure light, using your fingertips, and remove the scrub gently in the shower or with a warm washcloth.

Begin Layering Hydration

Instead of applying a heavy moisturizer, opt to layer hydration using mists, serums and facial oils under a lighter version of your daily moisturizer. This is especially important if you’re spending more time outdoors and sweating. By layering hydration, you create a lighter moisture barrier that is just as effective.

An on-the-go option, ideal for this season, is the ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Rose Hydro-Mist – which delivers the fast-acting results of a serum through a refreshing mist. Organic rose hydrolat prevents dehydration while hydrating Mediterranean algae support the skin’s moisture barrier. At the same time, Microalgae extracts help to freshen and hydrate the skin leaving it looking refined and radiant.
