March has arrived, but the weather is still unpredictable. One day we wake up to spring breezes, the next day cold winds return. This variable weather also means an adaptation period for your skin and hair!
It's the perfect time to review your care routine to prevent issues like moisture loss, dryness, sensitivity, and frizzy hair.
Why Are Skin and Hair More Sensitive During Seasonal Transitions?
As spring approaches, your skin and hair need to transition from the intense hydration and protection layers they've grown accustomed to during winter to lighter yet effective ingredients. However, this transition period can weaken the skin barrier and cause frizz in hair.
You might be experiencing the following:
Your skin being extra dry or oily in the morning
Your hair being frizzy and looking lifeless
Experiencing acne or sensitivity more frequently
This is because your skin and hair are still in winter mode and trying to adapt to the changing weather conditions.
What should you do?
Cleansing: Ditch Heavy Cleansers, Switch to Gentle Formulas
In winter, we needed products that purified the skin but were a bit more intense. Now it's time to switch to gentle, barrier-preserving, yet effective ingredients!
Double cleansing with Micellar Water or Cleansing Balm
Opting for non-drying, water-based cleansers
Using a light mist or cleansing water for morning cleansing
Moisturizing: Transition from Heavy Winter Creams to Light, Water-Based Products
As the weather starts to warm up, your skin might become excessively oily or clogged with heavy creams. However, at the same time, dry winds and changing weather can cause your skin to lose moisture.
Water-based moisturizers instead of intense oil-based creams
Maintaining skin balance with serums containing hyaluronic acid and niacinamide
Refreshing the skin with a mist during the day
Hair Care: Prevent Frizz, Nourish with Light Formulas
In spring, your hair might be prone to frizz and becoming oilier. It's best to reduce heavy oils and intense treatment masks slightly and switch to light but nourishing sprays and moisturizers!
Cloud Milk Spray prevents frizz and provides the hair with the moisture it needs with its light formula.
