How to Prepare Your Skin for Spring
As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, it's time to think about spring cleaning not just for your home, but also for your skin.
6 Spring Care Tips for Glowing Skin
Exfoliate: Winter weather can leave your skin dry and flaky. Start your spring skincare routine by exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and reveal smoother, brighter skin. Try our gentle Raw Silk Noil Washcloth for this.
Moisturize: Just because the weather is warming up doesn't mean you should skimp on moisturizer. Spring air can still be dry, and exposure to sun and wind can cause moisture loss. Lock it in with our Simply Shea Facial Emollient.
Get Out In the Sun: Don't be too quick to apply makeup with sunscreen. You're better off getting sun exposure for at least 30 minutes without sunscreen (or less if you are fair skinned). I'm reading that even exposing your eyes to the sun - without looking directly into it - is a good idea. So don't put on the sunglasses too soon.
Hydrate: Drinking plenty of water is essential for healthy skin. Aim for at least 8 glasses a day to keep your skin looking plump and radiant.
Get Enough Sleep: Make sure you're getting enough sleep. Lack of sleep can lead to dull, tired-looking skin.
Allergy-triggers: for unexplained eczema or rash issues, be aware of the spring activities that might cause them.
Allergy Triggers in Spring:
Gardening/landscaping (be aware of any plants with urushiol, which can cause a severe rash).
Sweat-inducing exercise can cause heat rash (wear light, cotton clothing and apply Simply Soothing as soon as the rash appears).
Pedicures make your feet look beautiful for sandal weather but be careful of infections, and be aware of the products that the nail technician uses to clean your feet as they can be drying to the skin.
Spring cleaning your home exposes your skin to harsh cleansers and latex gloves, both which can irritate the skin.
Switching to a "spring fragrance laundry detergent" is tempting because you want the fresh scent clean laundry, but don't let these chemical fragrance names lure you - it may wreck havoc on your skin.
More Help for Skin Conditions:
It’s unsettling to have a 20 minute consultation with a doctor to then be handed a prescription for a topical steroid cream.
Will this fix the problem permanently?
Does this mean I won’t suffer from side effects?
Does this tell me why I have eczema in the first place?
No, No and No.
