Finally! After a long, cold, miserable winter, spring never felt so welcome. You’re eager to swap out sweaters for sandals, but don’t forget that spring is also the time to switch up your beauty routine. These expert beauty routine tips will ensure that your skin and hair are ready to face the warm springtime sun.
Daily Skin Exfoliation Benefits
In fact, using glycolic or salicylic acid based skin care products will will give your skin a deeper clean. “I’m a big fan of exfoliation,” says New York dermatologist Dr. Debra Jaliman, author of Skin Rules.
I discuss a lot of ways of how to bring your dry, dull skin back to life. Check this post on dry skin fixes any woman can afford and do.
“If your skin isn’t exfoliated, it won’t have that nice glow.” You’ll also want to put away your extra-strength body lotion and switch to a lighter formulation.
From my personal experience, dry skin brushing adds an incredible beautiful glow to the skin. I incorporate it into my weekly skin care routine.
Say Good-bye to Pimples
As the heat and humidity return, your face becomes oilier and more prone to blemishes. To keep them at bay, apply a toner for acne-prone skin after washing your face. In addition, look for ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and niacinamide. Then do an inventory of your makeup. “Many people don’t read the labels, and they choose products that aggravate acne,” says Jaliman.
Discover some of the effective essential oils for the face and take advantage of their benefits.
For instance, glycerin, silicone and mineral oil are common ingredients in moisturizers and primers. Finally, to avoid flare-ups, clean your cell phone! Your fingers leave bacteria on the screen that can spread to your face when you make a call.

Nourish Winter Dried Hair
Winter’s arid air can make your scalp dry out and shed. Dandruff can also appear worse in cold weather when you wear dark sweaters or shirts, which make the flakes stand out. Now’s the time to pamper your scalp: Use an anti-dandruff shampoo and follow up with conditioner.
Spring’s warmer temperatures are the perfect time to change up your hair-care routine, advises noted Boston-based stylist Mario Russo.
“As the season changes, incorporate a gloss serum into your hair routine,” says Russo. “The oils and moisturizing ingredients will liven up your color and help prepare hair for the summer sun.”
A weekly hair mask, he adds, will rejuvenate your locks by opening up the hair cuticle and letting the moisture penetrate. This is also the time to cut back on heat-styling tools, which can damage your hair.
“On days when you don’t use your blow-dryer or straightening iron, continue to apply your favorite frizz, volume or hair UV protection products. They’ll help protect your hair while it dries naturally,” says Russo.
On the other hand, if your hair tends to be oily this time of year, both Russo and Jaliman recommend using dry shampoo several times a week, which absorbs the oil without drying out your hair.

Hair Color Can Freshen Your Look
Greet spring in style with a salon visit. Even a small trim will remove split ends and revive your hair. Ready for something more daring? Talk to your stylist about trying a new color.
“Tones like platinum or icy blonde, cool toned tips and dark roots, rose-gold, dark-chocolate brown and a less drastic ombre will be popular this spring,” says Russo.

These are great tips for healthy skin. I recently purchased a dry brush, and I keep forgetting to use it. I must get into that routine! haha
Aarika,
Wow, you’ve already got what you needed, just add body oil or olive oil to begin your dry brushing routine.
Yes, spring is finally here and I agree with out that we need to tweak our skin care routine a little bit. I would love to learn more about dry skin brushing as I am not really sure what/ how it is done. 🙂
I never knew what oils and minerals were good for my face. I will check out washes with those ingredients! Thanks for the tips!
These skin tips are really wonderful. Taking care of our skin is very important
Ooh yes, this is so important as the weather changes. Thanks!
I love these tips. I am definitely going to have to try a weekly hair mask for sure. I know it’ll help my hair out.
I never thought about using a gloss serum for my hair. That makes good sense though!
oh, a different skin product for each season, i’ve never heard of that but it does make sense. Very insightful, thank you.
Those are some great points to keep in mind. It’s important to have a skincare routine for better skin results.
Totally agree with you, Lyanna,
And knowing and practicing skin care routines, we can truly protect our skin’s functions and health. It means, its esthetic appeal as well.
I didn’t know that there were specific skin care for every season. This is an eye opener to me.
Kathy,
Like flowers, plants, trees, our bodies change while going through the seasons. It’s been given us by Mother Nature.
Hence, we need to respond to our body’s seasonal needs as well. And skin care is one of many integral parts of such response for self-care.
Reminds me to go to the salon to have my hair fix, a rebond maybe. Thanks!
You’ll appreciate it, I can guess pretty well!

Lyosha,
Yep, pretty skin can boost our confidence. But we need to care for the skin to keep it healthy.
Weather really matters with our skin care routine, thanks for the tips.
I just recently switched to an apple cider vinegar shampoo and conditoner. It’s taking some getting used to. I also want to start incorporating a hair mask into my routine.
Monica,
It takes some time to figure out and adjust your routines. I try to do it every 3-4 months or as the needs call for it.
But hair masks made a huge difference in my life.
Thanks for the tips. I will keep these in mind
Glad we don’t have problems like that here in Philippines. But thanks for sharing, it’s a really great article.
Ryan,
Lucky you. With warmer climates, it is a bit easier to deal with seasonal changes. Yet I find that we still need to make adjustments to our skin care routines.
skin care is so important! i change my skin care for all around the season. my skin get so so dry in the winter and we have a wood stove and its makes are house very dry!
Bella,
Kudos to you for taking care of your needs. Seasons, like any other source for any need, call for our attention.
I change my skincare in the winter as my skin is so dry. These tips will help me with spring.
Yep, Tara,
Every season calls for changes in our self-care routine as well.
I had no idea that your skincare routine should change with the seasons! Maybe it’s because we don’t technically have seasons here.
Heather,
Yep, even in parts of the country where we enjoy a forever summer, change of seasons affects our well-being and state of our systems, skin and hair.
Changing the routine will definitely spruce up the response of your entire body.
The more you know, the better off your choices of self-care routines will be.
