Why Your Skin Needs a Spring Reset
As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, your skin is begging for a reset. After months of battling winter dryness, dullness, and heavy creams, spring is the perfect time to refresh your routine. Warmer weather means more sun exposure, increased humidity, and a change in your skin’s needs. That’s why adjusting your skincare regimen now will help you maintain a healthy, radiant glow all season long.
Here are 5 skincare swaps you need to make to transition smoothly from winter to spring—plus some springtime favorites we love!
1. Swap Harsh Cleansers for Gentle, Soothing Ones
Must-Have: Chamomile Cucumber Face Wash
Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home—your skin deserves a refresh too! Start by replacing foaming or overly drying cleansers with a gentle, calming formula. The Chamomile Cucumber Face Wash is perfect for this seasonal switch. It gently lifts away impurities while soothing inflammation and reducing redness. Think of it as a soft morning breeze for your face—refreshing, light, and exactly what your skin craves right now.
2. Trade Heavy Moisturizers for Lightweight Hydration
Must-Have: Carrot Seed Facial Hydrator
In winter, thick creams protect against cold air and harsh winds. But as spring brings warmth and humidity, your skin needs breathable, lightweight hydration. Enter the Carrot Seed Facial Hydrator—a nutrient-rich moisturizer that delivers hydration without clogging pores. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, it helps brighten your complexion and prep your skin for sunny days ahead.
3. Swap Heavy Foundation for SPF-Infused Protection
Must-Have: Black Girl Sunscreen SPF30
Let’s talk sun protection. While SPF should be worn year-round, spring is when you’ll notice increased exposure, especially during longer daytime activities. Swap heavy foundation for a multitasking sunscreen like Black Girl Sunscreen SPF30. It doubles as a moisturizer and leaves no white cast—just smooth, protected, radiant skin. It’s your daily shield against sun damage, premature aging, and hyperpigmentation.
4. Trade Inactive Skin for Freshly Exfoliated Radiance
Must-Have: Oatmeal Honey Facial Exfoliate
Dry, dull skin from the colder months can linger into spring. Give your skin a fresh start with the Oatmeal Honey Facial Exfoliate. This gentle, natural scrub helps remove dead skin cells, reduce texture, and reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion. Use 1-2 times per week to maintain your glow and ensure your skin absorbs your products more effectively.
5. Swap Dry Skin for Nourished, Glowing Skin
Must-Have: Shea Body Butter
Don’t stop at your face—your body needs love, too. As you shed layers of clothing, make sure your skin feels as good as it looks. Shea Body Butter is rich in nutrients and perfect for sealing in moisture after exfoliation. Apply to damp skin post-shower to lock in hydration and leave your skin silky smooth.
This spring, let your skin bloom. With a few thoughtful swaps and natural, nourishing products, you’ll be well on your way to radiant, healthy skin that’s ready to take on the sunshine.
