Let’s explore 4 things your skin will need for spring.

Changing your skincare based on the season is essential. As the weather and climate changes, so do your skin’s needs. For example, in the spring and summer months, you are caring for your skin based on the hot weather and possibly humidity if you live somewhere that gets humid in summer. In the fall and winter, you pay more care to your lips that might get chapped, and care for dry skin that tends to occur in the wintertime.

Exfoliation 

Springtime calls for renewal and the spring clean-up. That should be true for your skin as well. When transitioning your skin from winter to spring, one of the most important things to do is to exfoliate.

There are many products with which this can be achieved, but the natural way is usually much easier, cheaper, and more forgiving on the skin. Simply mix raw sugar, ground coffee, roughly ground oatmeal, or plain grits with coconut oil or olive oil to

create a simple paste that will be extremely effective in exfoliating the skin.

If you don’t wish to make this yourself, check out the Powder to Foam Cleansing Grains in the shop. Not only does it offer gentle exfoliation, but it also cleanses your skin and is safe enough for daily use.

Antioxidants

Springtime also brings about more time in the sun, which means that your skin will be more exposed to the ultraviolet rays it gives off. In addition to using sunscreen, you can combat the effects of the sun naturally with an essential oil, such as lavender or carrot seed oil both of which works to reverse the effects of the sun on the skin.

More time in the sun will mean that your skin will also benefit from increasing the amount of antioxidants in your diet. Antioxidants work to reverse the signs of sun damage; eat foods such as berries and leafy greens to get in your antioxidants. 

Under Eye Attention

The sensitive skin around the eyes also needs to be protected more in the spring. Many people make the mistake of thinking they don't need their sunglasses yet in the spring, and the skin under your eyes suffers. Creating a simple eye cream with shea butter and frankincense essential oil will keep that delicate portion of the skin in peak condition.
