Seasonal change: how to prepare your skin for spring?

Winter is coming to an end, and with it, freezing temperatures, heating on full blast, and dull skin. It’s time for spring! But beware, this seasonal transition is not without its impact on our epidermis. Between temperature variations, rising humidity levels, and the first rays of sun, skin has to adapt. Discover how to adjust your skincare routine to welcome the new season gently.

What are the effects of spring on the skin?
The arrival of spring means skin awakening, but also new challenges for the skin:
+ More sebum, more blemishes → With the gradual warming of temperatures, the skin produces more sebum, which can promote the appearance of pimples and blackheads.
+ Post-winter dehydration → After several months of battling cold and dry heating air, the skin can still be dehydrated and need a real boost of hydration.
+ Allergies and skin sensitivities → Pollen, pollution, climate change... In spring, the skin can react with redness, irritation, or itching.
+ First UV exposure → Even if the sun still feels mild, UV rays are still present and can accelerate skin aging if the skin is not protected.

The ideal skincare routine for spring

Gentle exfoliation to awaken radiance
Winter naturally slows down cell renewal, which can leave a dull and uneven complexion. Exfoliation is essential to smooth the skin and reveal its radiance.

To favor: a gentle exfoliant with AHAs or fruit enzymes like the Masque Peau Neuve (New Skin Mask) for progressive and skin-friendly exfoliation.
To avoid: overly abrasive scrubs that can weaken the skin barrier.

The right rhythm? 1 to 2 times a week for radiant skin without irritation.

Adapt your cleansing to prevent blemishes
With the return of milder temperatures, the skin produces more sebum, which can promote the appearance of blemishes.

To favor:
Double cleansing with the Huile Démaquillante (Makeup Removing Oil), to remove makeup and impurities, followed by the Gelée Nettoyante (Cleansing Jelly), gentle but effective for purifying without stripping.
A Purifying Lotion to balance the skin and tighten pores.

To avoid: overly aggressive cleansers that strip the skin and further stimulate sebum production.

Lightness and hydration for balanced skin
In winter, we favor rich textures to protect the skin. But in spring, it's time to lighten your routine!
To favor:
A TensioLift serum to plump the skin without weighing it down.
A light Fluid Cream, perfect for hydrating without clogging pores.

Tip: If your skin is still dry after winter, add a few drops of oil to maintain good hydration.

Protect skin from the sun, even in spring
The first rays of sun can be deceiving. However, UVA rays are present all year round and accelerate skin aging.
To favor: a light, non-comedogenic sunscreen, ideal for preventing hyperpigmentation and preserving skin youth.

To avoid: going out without sun protection, especially if you use exfoliating active ingredients like AHAs.

Focus on drainage for a fresh complexion
Spring is the perfect time to incorporate facial massage and lymphatic drainage into your routine.
The right gestures?
+ Use a gua sha or a quartz roller to decongest the face and awaken radiance.
+ Massage the eye contour with a revitalizing serum like the Seasonly Revitalizing Eye Serum to reduce puffiness and brighten the gaze.
