Spring fever for a new skincare routine

Goodbye winter, hello spring! Have you also got the spring jitters yet? During this season, our skin needs preparation for the sun. This is because the weather conditions change from less inclement weather, to more light and sun power. The temperature slowly rises and you are bubbling with energy. Let this energy also affect your skin and adjust your skincare routine whenever possible. Which skincare products are real must-haves for spring? Our skin therapist Marieke tells you! 

Resilient skin 

Naturally, we all hope that we can go out on a terrace again when the sun starts to shine more. However, sometimes the transition from less beautiful weather to very beautiful weather is too big, giving our skin a lot to endure. It is best to prepare your skin for sunnier periods, so that it is more resistant to external influences. 

Good cleansing 

Always make sure your skin is clean first. A cleanser that has a nice scent and fits perfectly into spring care is the SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser. It smells freshly of orange and conditions and softens the skin. On the other hand, you can apply the SkinCeuticals Simply Clean when you want to gently exfoliate your skin. In addition to sulfonic acid (exfoliating effect), it also contains chamomile and aloe vera which soothes and softens the skin. 

Antioxidants 

After your cleanse, start your morning with antioxidants. These prevent more damage to the skin cells and make your skin more resistant to external influences such as UV radiation. Moreover, you will prevent the formation of pigmentation spots wand slow down skin aging if you use it in combination with a daily good sun protection.

We have listed all the antioxidants for you, so you can make the best choice in this: 

The right ingredients for hydrated skin 

Because the skin has had to deal with a lot of change in heat and cold during the winter months, it can be dehydrated. You often use a somewhat fuller moisturizer in the winter as well, to compensate. You could now make the switch to a slightly more airy moisturizer that is well absorbed into the skin, giving you a wonderful hydration boost. One way you get a good hydration boost is through hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid is able to bind large amounts of moisture to itself, which makes the skin more hydrated and increases in volume. Moreover, it is an outstanding anti-aging ingredient! A great addition to your routine, could be the following products: SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5, SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator, SkinCeuticals Daily Moisuturizer of Emollience, SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier, Dermaceutic Hyal Ceutic or Universkin Nexultra 1. Want an extraordinary hydration boost? Thee Nexultra H is a skin booster composed of 1.4% pure hyaluronic acid that restores the skin barrier and gives an instant plumpy effect. A product with one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market! 

Exfoliating in spring, is it possible? 

Often our skin therapists are asked if one can still use exfoliating products. The answer to this is yes! By exfoliating, you ensure that the drab dull winter skin gives way to new fresh skin. Moreover, it ensures that all active ingredients are better absorbed by the skin. Exfoliating is perfect with the Dermaceutic Foamer 5 or 15, SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renewal Cleanser and SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Cleanser.

Night Care 

In addition to an exfoliating cleanser, you can give your skin that extra push by applying an acid-based corrective exfoliating night cream. Especially good for skin prone to blemishes and pigmentation, as well as signs of skin aging. Products you can apply for this are the Dermaceutic Light Ceutic and SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10.

Personalized serum 

We can also offer you a unique cocktail in a day and night serum. The Universkin P-serum lends itself perfectly to this. On the basis of an online skin analysis, different active ingredients are added to the P-serum, matching your skin needs.

Preparing for summer 

Besides good skincare, you can also prepare your skin in the spring for the summer period. What are the benefits? 

• The skin is more resistant to UV radiation; 
• Pigmentation is regulated, preventing the appearance of pigmentation spots and ensuring a more gradual tan; 
• The skin thickens due to the accumulation of dead skin cells when it is more exposed to UV radiation, making products less well absorbed. Therefore, make sure your skin stays in good condition!
