Spring is here! Thank gosh for that - what a terrible Winter it has been for our skin. Being stuck indoors with the heating on and our faces trapped under masks when we go out has defiantly heightened the usual effect of dull and dry Winter skin. 

Now that we are moving into Spring it is the perfect opportunity to give our skin care routine a Spring clean. The best product to add in is an exfoliant. When we exfoliate the skin, we are promoting cellular turn over which encourages the removal of dead skin cells on the surface of our skin. This process leads to new healthier cells being stimulated causing brighter and healthier skin.

For a thicker, oily and more resilient skin type we recommend the Skinbetter Science Alpharet Exfoliating Peel Pads. These are a great addition to your night time routine. They can be used 2-3 times a week before moisturising.

For a dry or dehydrated skin, we prefer to utilise enzymatic exfoliants over acidic. Our go to is the Societe Superfruit Enzyme Mask. This mask can be used 1-3 times a week.

Sun protection against Australia’s harmful UV rays is important all year round, however, as the UV intensity increases in Spring we need to make sure you are reapplying your SPF throughout the day. We have recently added the Colourscience Sunforgettable Total Protection SPF 30+ to our SPF range. This is a powder makeup and SPF in one, in a convenient brush applicator. This makes it simple to reapply throughout the day as it can be easily brushed over the top of your makeup.

It is important to look after your skin no matter the time of year, however, these additions can help improve the health and appearance of your skin over Spring.
