Spring season, when flowers start blooming, leaves growing, and the sun shining. This is the season when the sun appears with its warmth and chilly winds. It’s indeed a beautiful time of the year.
But what about our skin during this season?
As we know, change in season brings unwanted changes that reflect on our skin. Change in the weather can make the skin extra sensitive. It’s the time when you will notice that oiliness, acne problems, or even allergies surface along with the first burst of sun exposure. So it’s very important to take care of our skin during this change.
As the season is characterized by an atmosphere with an unstable climate, strong UV radiation and dust affect our skin. In this situation, our skin consequently loses its ability to retain moisture, become easily dehydrate, feel tight and uncomfortable.
The change from winter to spring might be fabulous for our mood, but it can also come with a slew of new skincare concerns.
Here are a few problems spring drags on our skin.
One Two Three
- Skin Roughness: The appearance of white and red goosebumps on the body are experienced on this season. For this, choose a skin moisturizer for daily use that helps to soften the bumps on our skin.
- Sun Rash: Rashes appear when the skin suddenly become exposed to the sun and happens as a reaction to the changing weather. To protect the body avoid sun by limiting our sun exposure, especially during the first days of spring.
- Sunburn: This appears as red, painful skin that feels hot to the touch usually appears within a few hours after too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from sunshine. To protect the body from sunburn, rehydrate our body, moisturize our body and limit sun exposure.
- Acne Breakouts: The rise in temperatures and more time spent outside being active can lead to more sweating. This means breakouts can appear on the face. In this case, make sure you’re using a cleanser containing an acne-fighting.
- Contact Dermatitis: Contact dermatitis often appears when your skin is directly exposed to an irritating substance or allergen. As we transition to spring and start spending more time outdoors, the risk of contact dermatitis rises. After you’ve identified what caused the rash, avoiding the irritant is the first step towards healing. You can also apply a non-prescription anti-itch cream.
We all know that winter skin requires a certain level of care, including heavy moisturizer and lots of hydration. But when the weather shifts from “cold and dry” to “humid and moist” it’s important that our products and the way we use them, make a shift too.
