As winter fades and spring takes center stage, everything around us seems to brighten — the weather gets warmer, flowers bloom, and colors come to life. It's a season that lifts our spirits, but for some, it can also bring skincare challenges like allergies, irritation, or excess oil.

By understanding how spring affects your skin, you can adjust your routine to keep your glow all season long.

How Does Spring Affect Your Skin?
1. Increased Oil Production
With warmer temperatures, your skin’s oil glands may become more active. This can lead to extra shine, clogged pores, and breakouts — especially for those with oily or combination skin.

How to Manage It:

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and eating fiber-rich foods to support balanced oil production. Like Broccoli, Carrots, Brussels sprouts, Sweet potatoes (with skin), Spinach, Lentils, Chickpeas, Black beans, Kidney beans, Edamame, Oats, Brown rice, Quinoa, Whole wheat bread/pasta, Barley, Chia seeds, Flaxseeds, Almond, Sunflower seed, Pumpkin seeds, Popcorn (air-popped), Avocados (loaded with fiber and healthy fats)

Hydrate your skin externally with lightweight serums, face mists like our Mist Me Face Mist, and soothing gel or sleep masks.

2. Allergy Irritation
Spring’s pollen and allergens can trigger redness, itching, and sensitivity — especially for those prone to eczema or rosacea.

How to Manage It:

Add antioxidants to your diet to help calm flare-ups. You can include a variety of anti- oxidant -packed foods in your meals. Start by adding vibrant fruits like blueberries, strawberries, and pomegranates, along with fiber-rich apples and pears. Pair these with leafy greens such as kale and spinach, plus colorful vegetables like broccoli, beets, and red cabbage. For added crunch and nutrition, sprinkle chia seeds, flaxseeds, walnuts, or pecans on salads or yogurt. Boost your meals with antioxidant-rich spices like turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger, and incorporate legumes like kidney beans and black beans for extra fiber and protein. Don’t forget whole grains like quinoa and oats to keep you feeling full. For a sweet yet healthy treat, enjoy a square of dark chocolate or sip on a cup of green tea — both rich in powerful antioxidants. 
Cleanse your face after spending time outdoors to remove pollen.
Using a humidifier or air purifier at night can reduce allergens in your home.
Treat yourself to a gentle facial massage, like a lymphatic drainage massage, to reduce congestion and improve circulation. Try pairing this with C The Glow Face Oil and Radixir Ice Globes for a refreshing boost.
For extra relief, start your day with a shower steamer like our Bear With Me Shower Steamer to clear your sinuses and elevate your mood.

3. Better Hydration
Spring’s higher humidity can naturally boost your skin’s hydration. However, this can also cause buildup on the skin’s surface.

How to Manage It:

Regular exfoliation is key to keeping your skin fresh and glowing. Try one of our six face masks or create a simple DIY mask at home.

4. Increased Sun Exposure
Sunlight can be a wonderful mood booster and a natural source of vitamin D, but unprotected exposure can speed up skin aging and cause damage.

How to Manage It:

Enjoy the sun safely by applying SPF daily to protect your skin and maintain its youthful glow.

5. Post-Winter Dryness
Your skin may still be recovering from winter’s dry air, leaving behind flaky patches or dullness.

How to Manage It:

While exfoliating can remove dead skin, it’s equally important to double down on hydration afterward.
Apply a hydrating mask like a gel mask or sheet mask, and spritz your face with extra face mist throughout the day.
Don’t forget your body! Use a gentle body scrub or one of our exfoliating soap bars to smooth your skin, followed by a nourishing body lotion.
If your skin feels extra dry, add a layer of body butter for deeper hydration.
Bonus Tip: With warmer weather, make sure you’re using a reliable deodorant to stay fresh throughout the day.
