Skin care advice for a smooth transition into spring

You often don't notice it right away, but your skin changes with the season. The transition from winter to spring feels gradual, yet you see it reflected in how your skin feels and reacts.

During this period, skincare advice is not about starting over, but refining. You don't have to let go of your routine, just make subtle adjustments. By paying close attention to what your skin needs, you refine your routine in a way that moves along naturally. Skins helps you recognise that nuance and translate it into choices that make sense.

Understanding skin changes between winter and spring

Temperature, humidity and sunlight shift slowly, and your skin moves with them. Whereas winter is often accompanied by dry and tight skin, in spring your skin may actually feel more supple or produce more sebum. Textures that were comfortable before may then suddenly become too rich.

These skin changes do not require drastic adjustments, but attention. By observing how your skin reacts, you can refine your routine without unbalancing it. A gentle base starts with a Cleanser that matches your skin.

What is the most important skincare advice for skin changes between winter and spring?

Balance remains the starting point. That means not letting go of hydration, but using it differently. What was pleasant in winter may feel too full now, while your skin still needs comfort.

By consciously choosing different textures, for example a lighter moisturiser, your skin will stay calm and balanced without radically changing your routine.

Maintain hydration without weighing it down

Even in spring, hydration remains essential, only the form changes. A moisturising face cream doesn't have to be heavy to feel effective. Lighter formulas in particular can provide sufficient comfort and better suit skin that feels less dry.

An example is Aesop's Camellia Nut Facial Hydrating Cream, which keeps skin supple without weighing it down.

When do you choose a hydrating face cream over a richer cream?

Once your skin experiences less tension but still needs hydration, you can switch to a lighter texture. Your skin then does not require less care, but a different approach.

By varying treatments, you can maintain that balance and refine your routine without breaking it.

What tips help dry skin during a change of season?

During this transition, it helps to cleanse gently, build up hydration in layers and not abruptly stop using intensive care products. Combining serums, essences and moisturisers creates a routine that adapts without being overpowering, as in the skincare routine for dry skin that our Skins Experts put together.

How do you adapt your daily skincare when it gets warmer?

Your skin gives direction. When it shines faster or feels warmer, it helps to apply fewer layers and opt for lighter formulas. At the same time, protection becomes more important, for example with a set that responds to this, such as the Skincare Sample Set Protect Yourself. The set contains five samples of products that protect, balance and support your skin.

SPF skincare as a regular step in your spring routine

With more sunlight, not only the mood of the season changes, but also what your skin needs. SPF becomes a regular step in your daily skincare, not just on sunny days but as part of your routine.

By including SPF protection in your skincare, you support your skin against influences that affect its structure and appearance in the long run.

Why is SPF skincare important as seasons change?

UV rays are also present in spring and affect how your skin develops. By applying SPF daily, for example with COOLA Suncare's versatile sun care kit, you help your skin stay balanced and maintain its condition.

Tailor to what your skin needs

The transition to spring does not require big steps. Just by listening to subtle signals and making small adjustments, your skin will stay balanced.

This is what skincare advice is all about: not changing for the sake of changing, but tuning in to what your skin is already showing.
