Spring Skincare Favourites

Now that it is officially spring it is time to say goodbye to the dull tired skin that we might have noticed during the winter months, and give our skin a pick me up with our natural anti-ageing face products. We have everything you need to look after your skin all year round, and we have picked some of our favourite products to use in spring.

• Cleansing is important all year round and we have two amazing ones, our Advanced Cleansing Milk and Rejuvenating Face Wash. The milk is an oil-based cleanser that cleanses the face while hydrating and comforting at the same time with the hyaluronic acid and the plant cleansing and conditioning extracts. The wash gives more of a thorough cleanse if you prefer to use a foaming cleanser. We tend to notice that our face wash gains popularity in the warmer months as customers love to feel that all the extra grime that we see in spring, is well and truly washed away.
• If you like an anti-ageing product then try the Exfoliating Radiance Tonic which is a powerful renewal treatment with fruit AHAs. It is great for an uneven skin tone, plus lines and wrinkles. This is also good to help clear away the dead skin cells that might have built up on the face and left a dull complexion.
• Apply our Eye Cream Complex to the eye area which is hydrating, line smoothing and energising from its plant peptide, hyaluronic acid and stimulating plant and marine extract formula. Our bodies tend to come alive in the springtime and you might find that your eyes are less tired, but the skin in this area still benefits from the nutrition of a good eye cream like ours.
• Then for a treatment you could use either the Performance Face Serum or Revitalising Face Oil for your face and neck. Both are excellent skin revivers and the perfect way to hydrate and nourish. Or if you prefer, move on to your moisturiser step.
• Seal all the goodness in with our Active Dew Face Cream which hydrates, nourishes and protects the skin with hyaluronic acid, cassia, pomegranate and plant oils. This is for day and night use and is for normal, combination and dry skin. We have our Matt Formula Face Cream for normal skin but that that is more for normal skin on the oily side, or if you prefer a matt finish. Neither are greasy or oily and contain high quality natural extracts that keep skin hydrated and fresh.

Springtime brings with it a change in weather and environmental conditions, affecting how our skin reacts and what it needs. During this season, our skin benefits from a range of face products that cater to hydration, protection, and rejuvenation. A gentle exfoliator helps to remove dead skin cells accumulated during winter, allowing fresh, healthy skin to emerge. Lightweight high-quality moisturisers are still crucial to prevent dehydration without feeling heavy. Incorporating antioxidant-rich serums can help combat environmental stressors and recharge the skin’s vibrancy. Additionally, a good cleanser ensures the skin remains clear and refreshed. These tailored products work synergistically to keep skin radiant and healthy as the seasons transition.

Spring is the perfect time to reassess our skincare routines and make necessary changes. As the weather warms up, our skin may produce more oil and become prone to breakouts. This makes it essential to use non-comedogenic products that will not clog pores. A good cleanser can help remove excess oil and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils.

In addition to assessing our skincare routine, it is also important to stay hydrated from the inside out. Drinking plenty of water and incorporating foods rich in antioxidants can help improve the overall health and appearance of our skin. Fruits and vegetables such as berries, leafy greens, and citrus fruits are excellent sources of antioxidants that can nourish the skin and protect it from free radicals.

Another aspect to consider during spring is the impact of allergies on our skin. As pollen counts rise, our skin can become inflamed and irritated, leading to redness, itching, and even breakouts. Using gentle products like Nakin's which are made with sensitive skin in mind can help protect our skin barrier. Our formulas do not contain harsh ingredients like synthetic fragrances and our products have anti-inflammatory properties.

As we spend more time outdoors during spring, it's important to remember the importance of sun protection. While the sun may feel great on our skin, its harmful UV rays can cause damage and accelerate aging. Incorporating a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 into our daily routine is crucial to protecting our skin from sun.
