As we find our way back to beach days and gelato lines, we may also return to increased skin sensitivity, which can bring many uncomfortable challenges. With the changing weather, our skin follows suit, making it vital to adapt our skincare routines if we want to keep a calm and radiant complexion. Now that spring is in full swing, here are some tips on embracing this transitional season.

1. Shield Your Skin from Pollen and Allergens

Springtime is notorious for higher pollen counts and environmental allergens, which can irritate sensitive skin - another reason why a double cleanse is so important. So, if you've slacked off in the cooler months, bring back the double cleanse as we head to warmer days. This will minimise exposure to pollen, dirt and other potential irritants. If you're concerned about over-cleansing or stripping away the good oils of your skin, don't. We have formulated our cleansers with a base of Certified Organic Aloe Vera Leaf Juice, which hydrates the skin while removing excess oil and impurities.

2. Choose Lightweight, Hydrating Day Moisturisers

As the weather warms up, you might find that thick creams feel too heavy on your skin. Switch to a lightweight, hydrating moisturiser that won't clog your pores or overwhelm your skin — something lighter that can work effectively under your SPF. Our Moisture Balance gel-based lotion is perfect for spring, offering hydration without heaviness. Our biochemists have used Certified Organic Rose Flower Water to reduce redness and maintain hydrated skin. You can still use a richer, thicker moisturiser while you sleep.

3. Protect Your Skin from the Sun

Here comes the sun, and protection from UV rays couldn't be more important for those with sensitive skin. Yes, even indoors or on overcast days, the sun's rays can sneak through and trigger irritation and exacerbate redness. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that's gentle on sensitive skin, ensuring it's non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and free from harsh chemicals. 

4. Embrace Antioxidant-Rich Ingredients

Now more than ever, we need antioxidants in our lives. These powerhouse ingredients help protect sensitive skin from environmental stressors while also helping to repair any existing damage. 

Our HY C Recovery Serum is the perfect antioxidant-rich serum for all skin types. It can be used under your moisturiser day and night. 

However, we recommend you embrace those richer, thicker products in your nighttime routine this spring. It's the optimal time for those nourishing ingredients to work their magic. We recommend sleeping in our Hydrating Gel Mask once or twice a week and swapping it out for either the HY C Intensive Repair Cream or Night Conditioning Cream. That way, even if you don't get a full night's sleep, your chances of looking refreshed are increased!

5. Inside Out Hydration

Nothing will ever come close to the importance of water, and as our days warm up, our skin's hydration needs go up, too. The amount of water you drink is kind of personal, but science is simple: if we're getting warmer and perspiring more, we need to replenish that water loss. While we're confident you have your favourite water bottle by your side, we like to stay hydrated both inside and out. To maintain and refresh your pH balance, keep our Tone & Refresh Mist with you too. It's our favourite desk buddy and is the perfect 3 PM pick-me-up. This rose-inspired, re-energising mist firms, tones, and hydrates with Certified Organic Witch Hazel Extract, Aloe Vera Leaf Juice, and Cucumber. It soothes sensitive skin, reduces redness, and helps tighten pores, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalised. Spritz after cleansing or whenever you need a boost.

That's it. We're keeping it simple; there's enough going on. It only takes a few adjustments to ensure your skin stays hydrated and glowing this spring and beyond.
