From Winter to Spring: Refresh Your Skincare & Makeup Routine
As the chill of winter fades, it’s time to wake up your skin and switch to lighter, more radiant products. Winter often leaves our skin dry, dull, and heavy from layers of makeup, but spring is all about glow, hydration, and effortless beauty. Here’s how to transition your routine for the new season.
Firstly, Spring Skincare: Hydrate, Brighten & Protect
1. Gentle Cleansing
After months of heavier creams and layered makeup, winter can leave your skin feeling dry, dull, and in need of a fresh start. Start fresh with a mild cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin. Cleansing oils or cream cleansers work beautifully.
Try out these cleansers:
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm
Shiseido Perfect Cleansing Oil
Nuxe Very Rose Delicate Cleansing Oil
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser For Normal to Dry Skin
2. Exfoliation
Dead skin from winter can dull your complexion. Incorporate gentle exfoliation 1–2 times a week to reveal fresh, smooth skin and help your makeup sit perfectly.

CosMedix Elite Rx Clean Exfoliating Cleanser
3. Lightweight Moisturizer
Swap heavy winter creams for gel-based or water-based moisturizers. They hydrate without weighing your skin down, leaving it soft and supple for spring.

4. Sun Protection
Even as the sun warms, harmful UV rays are still present. Daily SPF 30+ is non-negotiable to protect your skin and prevent premature aging.

Annemarie Borlind Sun Anti Aging Sun Cream SPF 50
Now time for Makeup, Spring Makeup: Light, Fresh & Glowing
1. Dewy Base
Switch from full-coverage winter foundations to a lightweight foundation, tinted moisturizer, or BB cream. Mix with a few drops of bronzing oil for a natural, sun-kissed finish.
Some foundations:
Clinique Moisture Surge tint Hydrator SPF 25
BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream SPF30
Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation
2. Cream Blush & Bronzer
Cream & liquid formulas are perfect for spring. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and a bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks and temples to mimic a gentle, warm glow.
