Spring Skincare Swaps
06.10.2021
Spring is officially here! Which means it’s time to change up your skincare routine, just like we spring clean our wardrobes your skincare shelf also needs a tidy up this time of year. The warmer weather brings along an array of different skin concerns that need to be supported through the changing up of your skincare products. Read on below to find out just what skincare products you should be switching up and why.
CLEANSERS:
Cleansing is a vital part of any skincare routine as it removes impurities and build up, dead skin cells and excess oil. During Winter we tend to use heavier more nourishing and quite often oil based cleansers to help with thick dry winter skin. In the warmer months our skin actually produces more oil so we don’t need anything too heavy.
A double cleanse is also an absolute must! There'll be more residual dirt and grease sitting on the surface of your skin, so make sure you clean your skin sufficiently at the end of the day and remove all your makeup and SPF by cleansing twice.
Our go to cleansers for the warmer months include:
Encouraging fresh, clean complexions, Cosmedix Benefit Clean is the key to a simple and effective skin care regime. The deep cleansing formula gently removes impurities, makeup and pollutants, whilst providing calming and nourishing properties.

ANTIOXDIANT SERUMS:
Serums are used to directly target, treat and improve skin concerns. Made up of smaller molecules, serums are able to penetrate deeply into the skin and deliver high concentrations of active ingredients which make them a great product for targeting specific skin concerns such as wrinkles, pigmentation and dehydration. Dropping Retinol during the Summer is often a good idea as it can make you more sun sensitive. Instead, we recommend Antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Vitamin E that are the perfect companions for spring skincare because they help protect and rejuvenate your skin as it transitions to warmer weather. With increased sun exposure, your skin is more vulnerable to free radicals, which can accelerate aging and cause dullness. Antioxidants neutralise these harmful molecules, helping to prevent damage and promote a radiant, glowing complexion. They also support collagen production, which is essential for maintaining firm, youthful skin.
Active C is a powerful antioxidant and peptide serum, formulated with Vitamin C and a peptide complex to help firm the surface of the skin and promote elasticity for a firmer, brighter complexion.

PIGMENT INHIBITORS:
Spring is an ideal time to incorporate pigment inhibitors into your skincare routine because it's a season of renewal, with increased sun exposure and the shedding of winter's dull complexion. As you spend more time outdoors, your skin becomes more prone to developing sun-induced pigmentation like freckles, dark spots, and uneven tone. Using pigment inhibitors during this time helps prevent the formation of new pigmentation while gradually lightening any existing spots caused by the sun or environmental damage. Starting in spring also prepares your skin for the summer months when UV exposure is at its peak, ensuring your complexion stays bright, clear, and even.

EXFOLIATORS:
Exfoliating is imperative in the removal of dirt, waste and dead skin cells. The Winter months can leave our skin with all sorts of complications- the drop in temperature, harsh winds, hot hot showers, coupled with dry indoor temperatures from heaters, zaps our skin’s moisture. Exfoliate away those dead skin cells with The Peel by Scott + Sullivan-Inspired by the professional chemical peels applied at The Clinic, The Peel contains an AHA gel-based formula that delivers the benefits of an in-clinic treatment from the comfort of your home. Biodegradable botanical Jojoba beads physically exfoliate to leave the skin firm, refreshed, and hydrated without irritating the skin.

MOISTURISERS:
During Winter many of us tend to be prone to dryness and dullness, although come the warmer months we start to see an increase in congestion and oiliness in the skin which is where we need to start opting for lighter weight formulas. Along with lighter weight formulas we should also start upping our Vitamin C and SPF. You probably gave your heavy moisturisers a good workout during the cooler months, but now it’s time to swap it out for something lighter our top picks include:
Experience ultimate hydration without any oily residue with our newest edition, the Oil Free Moisturiser 50g. Specifically designed for oily and acne prone skin, it features antibacterial and barrier fortifying properties that replenish skin's moisture barrier and control oil regulation....

SPF:
Applying a broad spectrum sunscreen should be a daily habit no matter what the season. Not only does it shield you from damaging UVA and UVB, those nasty rays responsible for premature ageing and the dreaded sunburn, sunscreen also protects you from skin cancer. Pretty important when you consider Australia has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world.
Lighter Makeup:
Although makeup technically isn’t skincare, we still consider it a key player in your spring routine. Most traditional makeup clogs your pores and even more so when the weather is warmer which is not a nice feeling! Instead of reaching for your traditional heavier makeup products we suggest opting for something lighter and fresh like mineral makeup or a BB cream for the warmer months.
