As winter fades and we step into the bloom of spring, your skin deserves a seasonal refresh just like your wardrobe with a Spring Skincare routine. The transition from cold, dry air to warmer, more humid days can bring both relief and new challenges for your skin. So, what does your spring skincare routine need to look like?
Here’s how to give your skin the seasonal reset it craves—plus some standout products from Murad and Skin Rocks to help you get started.
1. Lighten Up Your Moisturiser
During the colder months, heavier creams help to combat dry, flaky skin. But come spring, it’s time to switch to a lighter, hydrating moisturiser that won’t clog your pores as humidity increases. Look for formulations with hyaluronic acid or glycerin to keep skin plump and dewy without the weight.
Try: Murad’s Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50: Hydrating offers lightweight hydration with added sun protection, perfect for daily use.
2. Exfoliate Away Winter Dullness
After months of harsh weather and central heating, your skin might be looking a little tired. Gentle exfoliation helps slough away dead skin cells and brighten your complexion. Try using a mild AHA-based exfoliator 1–2 times a week to reveal fresh, radiant skin.
Try: Murad’s Vita-C Glycolic Serum combines vitamin C and glycolic acid to brighten and resurface the skin gently.
Pro tip: Avoid over-exfoliating—it can disrupt your skin barrier and increase sensitivity.
3. Spring Clean Your Skin Care Shelf
Expired products? Half-used winter formulas? Spring is the perfect time to declutter your skincare stash. Check expiry dates, simplify your routine, and make room for seasonal essentials like SPF and lightweight serums.
Try: Skin Rocks’ The Support Oil is a versatile addition to your spring routine, providing nourishment without heaviness.
4. Don’t Skip the Sunscreen
UV exposure increases in spring, even on cloudy days. SPF is non-negotiable. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and reapply every two hours if you’re spending time outdoors. Bonus points for formulas that double as moisturisers or primers.
Try: Murad’s City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 | PA++++ offers high-level protection against UVA, UVB, pollution, and blue light.
5. Add Antioxidants for Protection
As your skin faces more sunlight and environmental stress, antioxidants like vitamin C can offer extra protection. They help fight free radicals, brighten your skin tone, and boost collagen production. Add a vitamin C serum to your morning routine for a seasonal glow-up.
Try: Murad’s Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum targets uneven skin tone and dark spots with a potent blend of antioxidants.
6. Hydrate from the Inside Out
Spring weather can still be unpredictable. Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water, eating water-rich foods like cucumber and melon, and using a hydrating mist or essence throughout the day.
Try: Skin Rocks’ The Rich Moisturiser provides deep hydration, making it an excellent choice for days when your skin feels parched.
7. Watch for Seasonal Allergies
If you’re prone to spring allergies, you may notice puffiness, redness, or sensitivity in your skin. Stick to soothing ingredients like aloe vera, niacinamide, and chamomile, and avoid harsh actives during flare-ups.
Try: Murad’s Heartleaf Soothing Face Cleanser is designed for sensitive and eczema-prone skin, helping to calm and cleanse without irritation.
Spring Skincare = Glowing Within
Spring is all about renewal—and your skincare should reflect that. By adjusting your routine to the season’s unique demands and incorporating products from trusted brands like Murad and Skin Rocks, you can keep your complexion happy, healthy, and glowing well into summer.
