We love Spring because it’s often seen as the symbol of renewal and rebirth after we’ve been implementing our Winter Arc for the past few months. It’s a time when blooming flowers, longer daylight hours, and refreshing rain showers invigorate our senses and inspire renewal. Just as nature embraces change, so should our skin care routines adapt to the transition from winter to spring. Here’s how you can prepare your skin to thrive as the temperatures rise and the sun begins to grace us with its warm touch ☀️
1. Switch to Lighter Moisturizers
During winter, heavy creams are ideal for combating harsh winds and dry indoor heating. However, as spring emerges, humidity levels rise, making lighter moisturizers more suitable for your skin. Opt for a hydrating gel or lotion that provides moisture without weighing down the skin. This will keep your skin fresh and avoid clogged pores as your skin adjusts to the new season.
WE LOVE: ZO’S DAILY POWER DEFENSE ($185) which is not quite a moisturizer but an advanced serum that is clinically proven to strengthen skin’s protective barrier while defending against environmental stressors and premature signs of aging
2. Embrace SPF Protection
With more sunshine comes increased sun exposure. Protect your skin by incorporating a broad-spectrum sunscreen into your daily routine. Even when it’s cloudy or only slightly sunny, UV rays can penetrate your skin, leading to damage and premature aging. Choose a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and ensure it’s part of your morning ritual.
WE LOVE: ZO’s SMART TONE BROAD-SPECTRUM SPF 50 ($70.00) which is a lightweight sunscreen with a self-adjusting tint that complements most skin tones while providing a healthy, hydrated glow. Featuring an exclusive antioxidant complex while protecting against the aging effects of UVA/UVB, IR-A rays and HEV light.
3. Exfoliate Gently
Winter’s dry air often leaves skin with a layer of dead cells. Spring is the perfect time to refresh your complexion with gentle exfoliation. Incorporate a mild exfoliating scrub or an enzyme-based product once or twice a week to slough off dead skin cells. This encourages natural cell turnover and reveals a brighter, smoother skin surface.
WE LOVE: ZO’S EXFOLIATING POLISH ($68.00) (one of our HOLY GRAILS) because it contains magnesium oxide crystals that gently buff away dead skin cells leaving our skin feeling so soft and smooth after each use.
4. Opt for Hydrating Masks
Consider adding hydrating masks to replenish moisture and soothe the skin after exfoliation. Look for masks enriched with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, or honey. Using a hydrating mask once a week can enhance your skin’s natural glow and resilience.
WE LOVE: SUMMER FRIDAY’S JET LAG MASK ($49.00) which contains glycerin, niacinimide, and hyaluronic acid to leave your skin feeling plump and hydrated just several hours after use!
5. Adjust Your Cleansing Routine
The increased humidity during spring means your skin may produce more oil. Adjust your cleansing routine to balance your skin’s natural oils without stripping it. Use a gentle, foaming cleanser or micellar water to keep your skin feeling clean and refreshed, without over-drying it.
WE LOVE: ZO’S GENTLE CLEANSER ($50.00) because it’s strong enough to remove all impurities, oil, and makeup but gentle enough for all skin type. Pair it with ZO’S CALMING FACE TONER to help soothe the skin and support skin barrier function.
