Let’s talk about the first and most crucial step in your skincare routine – cleansing! Cleansers clean and prep the skin for the next products in your routine, and choosing the wrong cleanser can damage your skin barrier. 

Finding the most suitable cleanser for your skin type can be hard, but these tips might make it a little bit easier. If your cleanser is making your face feel tight, then it’s time to switch things up with a gentler and less drying cleanser. Is your face making you feel itchy after cleansing? That feeling isn’t the cleanser working, your skin is saying this product is not suitable. It’s best to test out new products behind your ear(s), this way if there is a reaction it appears on a less sensitive and obvious part of the skin. 

These are our top favourite spring cleansers working from oil, combination, normal and dry skin types are:

Just like how spring brings the fresh revival of new beginnings, using the right exfoliator is important to aid in removing dead skin cells, without overwhelming the skin. When incorporating an exfoliator into your spring routine, start slowly and give your skin time to adjust. We recommend only exfoliating once a week and feel out your skin’s tolerance, depending on this you might increase or decrease how often you exfoliate.

While there are plenty of options when it comes to exfoliators, we’ve picked these as our top spring choices based on their gentle formulations, minimalist ingredient list, and most importantly they get the job done. Whether you’re new to exfoliating or a seasoned pro, these are some additions to your spring routine that you won’t want to miss. 

Next up, it’s time to take a look at these game-changing serums. Serums work to give the skin some extra love and nourishment.

With transitioning into sunnier weather, your skin is ready for a fresher, plumper appearance. 

For our spring serum recommendations, we’re listing them from thinnest to thickest consistency. This way we cover light to heavy and everything in-between when it comes to serums. Our top spring routine serums are:

During the winter, a thick and heavy moisturizer can leave the skin feeling nourished and protected. However, as the weather starts to warm up, thick moisturizers can leave the skin feeling too heavy and greasy. That’s why during spring, it's best to pick a light and more breathable moisturizer. 

We’ve selected these moisturizers as our spring picks because they are not too heavy on the skin, are gentle, and also have minimal ingredient lists:

SPF is one of the most important products you can put on your skin. With winter coming to an end, if you’ve slacked on your sunscreen game, we’re not judging. Instead, it’s a great opportunity to look at reincorporating sunscreen into your spring routine. This way, you can enjoy the sun without worrying about damaging your skin.
