A new season usually calls for a few skincare tweaks. From quality sunscreens to pampering foot scrubs, there are certain season-appropriate products that are tailor-made for sunny days and higher temperatures. This excerpt from Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “Spring’s Top 5 Must-Have Beauty Products,” can help the transition from the cold, blistery winter into the pleasant, warmer spring. Plus, discover three key tips for keeping skin safe this springtime.
Gentle exfoliant. Winter’s harsh weather, with its low temps and blistering winds, can take a toll on skin. The result? A buildup of dull, dry, dead skill cells – and extra-sensitive skin. That’s why it’s important to rejuvenate skin with a gentle exfoliant. Try to avoid facial exfoliants with particle-like ingredients such as walnut shells and apricot pits. Even sugar scrubs can be irritating to post-winter skin. Instead, choose chemical formulas that contain alpha or beta hydroxy acids.
Why is exfoliation so essential? By removing dead skin cells, newer, healthier skin is revealed. A person’s complexion looks more radiant and refreshed, brighter and smoother.
Also, don’t stop with the face – exfoliate the entire body. After exfoliating skin, apply hydrating lotion or serum within three minutes, which helps to seal in moisture. If skin is sunburned, skip the exfoliant until it recovers.
2. Nail polish. Getting a new of-the-season nail polish is a low-cost and simple way to welcome spring. It’s minimum fuss with maximum flair. For spring 2010, the hottest colors are understated beiges; bright but subtle creamy oranges, pinks and lavenders; and bold shades like tangerines, orange reds, Caribbean blues and hot pinks. <!--[endif]-->
Tinted moisturizer. As the weather starts to warm up, many people need less hydration – and less makeup. A tinted moisturizer gives skin a dose of moisture and a hint of color, evening out complexions. So it not only shortens a woman’s morning skincare routine, but it also reduces the risk of a makeup meltdown, which heavy foundations and layers of makeup can create. Using a tinted moisturizer means women can pass on using a separate hydrator, primer and foundation. Plus, tinted moisturizer helps skin look dewy and more natural.
Some tinted moisturizers even have added benefits like anti-aging ingredients – such as retinol – and sun protection. So for people who spend a short amount of time outdoors, tinted moisturizer with SPF is really all that’s necessary.
