Spring Clean Your Skincare Routine
As the weather changes, so should your skincare with these seasonal swaps.
With the swing in season from Winter to Spring, it’s a good time to switch up your skincare routine. Take your beauty bag or bathroom cupboard contents from the richer, skin-quenching formulas to slightly lighter options to account for the higher humidity in the air and prepare for Summer’s heat. Here’s how…
Freshen Up Your Cleanser
If you were using a rich cleansing balm in Winter to melt away makeup and calm dry and sensitive skin, try transitioning to a creamy formula, still aiding in hydration, but with a lighter texture for a fresher feel and finish. The Vital C Hydrating Facial Cleanser will remove makeup and cleanse skin, while nourishing it with nutrients, plus vitamins A, C, E, and antioxidants for protection. Expect an uplifting scent to brighten your skin and your day. 
Maximise Your Moisturiser
While UV is present all year around, the Cancer Council clarifies that UV radiation is higher in summer than in winter and you must accommodate not only with your sun protection, but regular reapplication throughout the day. You can read all about it here: Why Daily Sun Protection is Crucial in Australia , but essentially doubling down on a moisturiser multiple benefits is a must. IMAGE Skincare’s Daily Prevention collection boasts a skin-quenching, antioxidant-filled formula with a focus on daily dual defence, that delivers anti-ageing, hydrating and protection from the environment in one.
Replace Your Oil with a Serum
Save more intense products like oils for the cooler months when your skin wants more comfort, and try a serum as the weather warms up. Look for skin-protecting antioxidants to fuel a healthy skin barrier and stabilise an often-unbalanced winter base. Thanks to the brightening, protecting and nourishing ingredients of Kakadu Plum and Beetroot Extract, the Ormedic Balancing Antioxidant Serum is the perfect choice to shift from one season to another.
Nail Your Night Routine
Your PM preferences can also be switched up so that your skin can repair and rejuvenate overnight, but without the rich formulas we reach for in Winter such as IMAGE Skincare’s much-loved the Max Crème. Try a lighter repair lotion like the Ormedic Balancing Biopeptide Crème instead and reap the benefits of peptides, botanical butters and organic plant oils to brighten, support and strengthen skin overnight while locking in your treatment serum.
Must Have Mask
If you want to slow down the effects of ageing, retinol is a must-have ingredient in your skincare arsenal, however, during the warmer months, you don’t want to be using it so much that your skin will end up more sensitive to the sun. Add the Ageless Total Overnight Retinol Masque into your Spring skincare routine two-three times a week for the optimal repair and rejuvenation without worrying about the intensity of your treatment. Expect to wake up with brighter, younger looking skin every time.
Round Out Your Routine
Complete any skincare regimen with a refreshing eye mask rather than a cream in the morning, before bed or during travel. Try the IMAGE MD Restoring Eye Masks that will cool and hydrate thanks to the hydro-gel format featuring caffeine, aloe vera and hyaluronic acid. The final step in updating your skincare routine for Spring should be a comprehensive lip complex that you can reapply throughout the day to protect and hydrate. Bonus: The Ormedic Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex is a unisex option featuring peptides to plump and firm, too.
