Tips for skin care in spring

The needs of the skin often change with the change of seasons, so after winter it's good to update and tailor your skin care routine a bit. You don't need to change your entire skin care routine, but it is recommended to make small changes. Grab a few tips for skin care in spring here!

Cleansing

Cleansing the skin is important all year round, in order to properly remove make-up, sweat, sunscreen and all other dirt from the skin. In spring, there is also a lot of pollen and dust from the streets in the air, which it is good to clean from the skin thoroughly. In order to get all the dirt off the skin properly, it is important to double cleanse the skin in the evening. Buy cleaning products.

Try Hwarang' Bell Flower Cleansing Balm as the first step and SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam as the second.

Peeling

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells from the skin, brightens the skin and smoothes the skin's texture, cleans skin pores, restrain the formation of new impurities and helps other skin care products to be absorbed better.

Great ingredients for exfoliation are exfoliating acids such as AHA, BHA, PHA and LHA acids, which smooth the skin's texture, treat and prevent hyperpigmentation, and exfoliate dead skin cells from the skin, leaving a smooth finish on the skin.

Antioxidants and ingredients that even out skin tone

Antioxidants such as vitamins A, B, C and E strengthen the skin and protect it from external stimuli such as air pollution and free oxygen radicals, which damage and break down skin cells.

Vitamin A stimulates the skin's collagen production and promotes the renewal of skin cells. That's why vitamin A is a great product for treating the signs of aging, because it regenerates the skin effectively. For example, retinol is one form of vitamin A.

Vitamin B evens out and brightens the skin tone and strengthens the skin.

Vitamin C and E are a very effective combo to be used at the same time, because vitamin C enhances the protective and moisture-binding effect of vitamin E, and vitamin E in turn enhances the brightening effect of vitamin C. In addition, vitamin C and sunscreen in the morning provide the skin with very effective protection against external stimuli.

During spring and summer, hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots, may appear on the skin. Therefore, spring is the most optimal time to start using brightening products such as vitamin C and niacinamide in your skin care routine to prevent pigment changes caused by the sun.

Test the vitamin C serum Numbuzin No.5+ Vitamin Concentrated Serum and the cult product of niacinamide serums Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum.

Face cream

In spring, the temperature starts to rise and the skin does not evaporate as much moisture as in winter due to the dry air and frost. For this reason, in the spring, you can change the thicker cream to a lighter composition, such as an emulsion or gel. In the evening, the cream can be richer, more soothing and nourishing. In Korean skincare, the term night cream is not widely used, but each face cream is basically suitable for both the morning and evening routine, and the properties it contains are selected according to the needs of one's own skin.

Dry skin: Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream
Combination skin: SKIN1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream
Oily skin: SKIN1004 Centella Poremizing Light Gel Cream
All skin types: Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Lotion and Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream

Sunscreen

In spring, the days start to get longer and the sun starts to shine more. In spring, the sun's UV index also starts to rise already during April and May. Therefore, it is recommended to use sunscreen at the end of March or at the latest at the beginning of April, if you do not use sunscreen all year round.

However, we recommend using sunscreen in winter as well, because snow reflects the sun's rays on the skin in the same way as water. Sunscreen is also a very important product if your skincare routine includes exfoliating products or retinol, i.e. vitamin A.

Many of the sunscreens in our selection are very nourishing and moisturizing and therefore can also be used as a day cream. Read more about sunscreens.
