The transition from winter to spring is an important time for our skin. Subjected to the cold, wind, dry air, and lack of light, it emerges from winter tired, dull, and often more fragile. With the return of warmer weather, our skin needs a real electroshock to regain its radiance. This skin awakening, if well orchestrated, allows us to start fresh and reveal a luminous complexion, ready to face the new season.
Skin detox: reset the counters to zero
Avant de nourrir votre peau, un nettoyage en profondeur est essentiel. Après des mois d’accumulation de cellules mortes, d’impuretés et d’excès de sébum, cette étape est cruciale. Il ne s’agit pas d’agresser la peau, mais de miser sur un nettoyage doux et régulier. C’est d’autant plus important que le stress et d’autres facteurs influencent fortement la santé de votre peau, et donc le vieillissement cutané, comme l’explique cet article. Une peau propre est ainsi mieux préparée à recevoir les soins suivants et à lutter efficacement contre les signes de l’âge.
Some skincare routines formulated to restart the cell cycle and purify the epidermis can be an excellent starting point, especially those found on Nuxe France , which offer respectful solutions for skin tired by winter. Exfoliating once or twice a week is enough to restart microcirculation, refine skin texture and promote cell renewal. This is also the ideal time to introduce a purifying or oxygenating mask, which will unclog pores and awaken the natural radiance of the complexion.
At the same time, it’s essential to adopt a proper morning and evening cleansing routine. Double cleansing, popular in Asian routines, is particularly effective: an initial oily phase to dissolve grease, followed by a gentle, water-based cleanser to complete the job.
Rehydration: the key to plump skin
The cold slows sebum production and unbalances the skin’s protective hydrolipidic film. The result: dehydrated, sometimes uncomfortable skin, prone to redness and tightness. To boost deep hydration, it’s best to opt for skincare rich in moisturizing active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or aloe vera. Applying a serum before your daily cream significantly increases the penetration of active ingredients. In the morning, choose a light, fresh texture that will awaken features, while in the evening, a richer formula can nourish and repair skin while you sleep.
Internal hydration remains just as essential as skincare. Drinking enough water every day is essential, as is eating a diet rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, C, and E.
Activate radiance: awakening the complexion
Awakened skin also means a luminous complexion. After winter, the face can look dull, tired, or uneven. To boost radiance, a few simple steps make all the difference. Incorporating skincare products containing vitamin C into your routine can boost the complexion’s luminosity and combat the effects of oxidative stress. Other active ingredients, such as niacinamide and fruit enzymes, gently smooth skin texture and reduce unevenness.
Additionally, facial massage, often overlooked, is a valuable ally. A few minutes a day is enough to stimulate blood circulation and restore vitality to the face. A quartz roller or gua sha are useful little tools for practicing these gestures at home, but your fingers are more than enough if you follow the correct movements.
Adapting your routine to the change of season
With the return of spring, it’s important to adjust your skincare routine. Skin needs change dramatically as it does in the middle of winter: out with ultra-occlusive textures, in with lightness and protection. The increasing intensity of the sun also requires the introduction of sunscreen, even in the city. A cream with built-in SPF or a daily sunscreen can prevent pigment spots and premature aging.
This is also a good time to sort through your beauty products. Check expiration dates, get rid of products that were used too long ago, and adopt a more minimalist approach. A short, well-thought-out routine that respects your skin type will always be more effective than a pile of unsuitable products.
