Some
spring skin care routine :
The first thing to
do is spring-clean your skincare products. Check expiry dates and throw out any
cleansers, moisturizers or makeup that are out of date, appear dried out or
have a funky smell. It’s a great time of year to try a new product as you clear
out last year’s collection. Make checking the expiry dates on your products
part of your skin care routine and avoid a bad reaction to expired products.
Clean all your
makeup brushes! Although giving your brushes a quick rinse or wipe down after
every use is usually all the time that most of us can afford to spend, it’s
still important to give your brushes a deep clean every so often.
To shed the dead
skin cells winter left behind, exfoliation is essential. Racinne’s Ultimate
Hydra Perfection Gentle Refining Scrub will rid your face of winter’s stubborn
dry skin leaving you glowing. This product is perfect if the skin is a
combination of dehydrated and oily as even oily skin can be dehydrated when
there is not enough moisture. When dehydrated, skin often feels rough or tight
with patchy or peeling skin. Begin by using the Refining Scrub twice a week and
increase as desired.
Winter
moisturizers can be heavy. Warmer temperatures generally cause an increase in
oily skin so choose to lighten up on your moisturizer. Racinne’s Ultimate Hydra
Perfection Optimal Fortifying Emulsion is a lightweight hydrating formula we
recommend for spring. It protects the skin’s moisture barrier protecting the
next layer of fresher looking skin, and your complexion revitalized.
It’s important to
protect your skin year round with a sunscreen, especially as spring turns to
summer.. As your skin’s exposure to the sun increases so must your protection
from UVA/UVB rays using SPF. Mixing sunscreen into your moisturizer is crucial
and when the sun is out, a hat or sunglasses for added protection doesn’t hurt!
Transitioning your
skin care routine from winter to spring isn’t the only change to consider as
the days get longer and warmer. You can improve your overall health by
increasing the numbers of fresh fruits and vegetables readily available
throughout spring months. The brighter and more colorful the better. Raw fruits
and vegetables are bursting with skin-protective antioxidants and have high
water content, keeping skin hydrated and building resistance to daily damages
like sun exposure and fluctuating air temperatures.
