Finally, after a long winter, spring has arrived - not just on the calendar, but in real life: with warm weather, sunshine, birdsong and, as a result, a good mood.
Alas, everything is not as rosy as it seems. The cold winter period with winds and frosts is over, but has not passed without a trace: the body suffers from vitamin deficiency, which affects the condition of the skin of the face.
Lack of hydration, dull color, lethargy are symptoms that indicate a violation of the protective skin barrier. Aesthetic unattractiveness is not the main problem. The danger is that under the influence of the rays of the spring sun, the weakened skin of the face may suffer: pigment spots and spider veins will appear.
To meet spring fully armed, it is enough to choose the right facial care. Follow a few simple recommendations that will awaken you from hibernation:
- The health of all organs depends on proper nutrition! Introduce fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A, E, C, B, P into your daily diet: they save the skin from dryness, restore elasticity, improve complexion, and promote regeneration.
- Move, play sports, walk in the fresh air - good for metabolism.
- Follow the regime - 6-8 hours of daily sleep has a positive effect on the state of the nervous system. For a thriving and healthy appearance, it is important to be in a good mood and avoid stress.
- Use special cosmetic care products daily. An integrated approach is required, which includes procedures for cleansing, moisturizing and nourishing facial skin. Let's take a closer look at each point.
Skin care in spring
In spring, you especially want beauty. But usually we greet spring with pale, dull, dehydrated and tired skin after winter, dry hands, flaky heels and electrified hair.
In this post, we will tell you how skin care differs in spring, and what products you must have in your cosmetic bag to bloom like a May rose.
What else can you do to keep your skin beautiful and healthy?
- Don’t forget: healthy skin primarily depends on the health of the whole body. Therefore, it is important to eat right, remember to drink water and walk outdoors more often.
- Don't touch your face with your hands!
- Change pillowcases and towels more often. This will help prevent the spread of bacteria and your skin will become noticeably clearer.
- Introduce facial massage or face-building exercises into your daily beauty routine. The effect of this will not be noticeable after the first lesson, but it is worth the wait!
Daily spring skin care
Stage 1. Cleansing
To remove makeup in spring, choose light textures - milk, hydrophilic oil . Put off thick, thick makeup remover creams until next winter.
To wash your skin in spring, choose light foams . It’s good if your cleanser contains a complex of vitamins and antioxidants. After winter, the skin is dehydrated and requires additional hydration.
Stage 2. Toning
In spring, to tone your face, use moisturizing, antioxidant toners or serums based on your skin type. For oily and problematic skin - with green tea and vitamins . For dry and sensitive - with hyaluronic acid .
After winter, the skin is dehydrated and requires additional hydration. Therefore, in the spring, add moisturizing sprays and mists
Stage 3. Face cream for spring
Switch from thick protective winter creams to lighter textures - cream , ampoule serums , rich emulsion. But don’t rush to immediately jump to super-light fluids and gels. In spring, the skin needs lipids (oils, ceramides) to support the epidermal barrier, weakened by winter frosts, winds and temperature changes.
In addition to lipids, a competent spring face cream must contain:
vitamins - spring vitamin deficiency directly affects the skin, and it needs additional support not only from the inside, but also from the outside;
vasoprotectors - they stimulate microcirculation, strengthen blood vessels and refresh the complexion;
competent moisturizing components - restore water balance, saturate skin dehydrated during the winter with moisture;
antioxidants - UV radiation becomes more active with each spring month, antioxidants will strengthen and support the natural protective system of the skin.

SPF in spring cream
In March-April, the period of active sun begins, which will last until October. Free radicals wake up. After a winter vacation, they are vigorous, fresh and ready to attack defenseless, weakened skin after winter.
Therefore, if you use SPF all year round, first of all, you are great,
