Organic skincare from the Italian countryside
When temperatures rise and flowers bloom, our skin's needs change too. Longer days outdoors soaking up the sun can help provide a healthy glow to the skin, but it also means increased free radical damage and potential inflammation from higher pollen counts.
(On the other hand, spring's higher humidity levels can help offset winter's parched air.)
The key is tailoring your skincare routine to help your unique skin adapt seamlessly to this seasonal shift. With a few simple adjustments, and paying close attention to your skin's needs, you can renew your complexion, enhance its natural radiance, and prevent new damage.
Ready to spring into action? Here are 7 tips that collectively form a 360-degree mature skincare strategy for spring...
Over the winter, dead skin cells accumulate, often leaving your complexion looking dull and rough. Dead skin build-up also prevents your skin from soaking in the nutrients from your daily skincare routine.
Welcome spring by gently removing that buildup to reveal smoother, more luminous skin beneath.
PRO TIP: Use a gentle exfoliator 1-2x per week, such as The Hydrating Mask. Stay away from harsh chemicals and scrubs that can damage the skin.
Although air humidity increases during the spring, rising temperatures can cause your skin to lose more precious moisture throughout the day, making internal and external hydration crucial.
Sip water throughout the day and load up on moisture-rich fruits and veggies like cucumber, watermelon and leafy greens packed with skin-replenishing nutrients. Then, use skincare products with sodium hyaluronate (like the 4-Step Skincare Set) to help draw hydration into the skin's deeper layers. Adding in a skin oil like la Dolce Vita Elixir will also help all the hydrating ingredients penetrate the skin.
With increased hours spent outdoors, your skin needs extra protection against the onslaught of damaging free radicals caused by UV exposure and environmental stressors.
Give your defenses an antioxidant boost with the right skincare products...
Both Neroli Radiance Serum and la Dolce Vita Elixir are packed with healthy antioxidant-rich ingredients for your skin this spring.
Speaking of sun exposure, preventing future damage is key for keeping skin healthy and resilient. But thick sunscreen formulas can clog pores and exacerbate mature skin concerns.
Instead, opt for sheer mineral or physical sunscreens utilizing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide which are effective yet gentle.
PRO TIP: Don't forget to properly cleanse both more and evening when using sunscreen, and exfoliate 1-2x per week.
Spring means more pollen, pollution and allergens circulating, which can trigger skin redness, sensitivity, and irritation.
Calm things down using products with naturally calming and anti-inflammatory botanicals like aloe vera, calendula, rosehip, rosewater, and more. You can't go wrong with Sole Toscana's certified organic Rosewater Wellspring Cleanser and Rosehip & Calendula Triple Cream.
After diligently optimizing your skin's health with a targeted routine, you deserve to show it off!
Embrace minimal makeup to reduce pore clogging and simply enhance your natural radiance - instead of covering it up.
Spring skincare generally calls for consistent morning and evening routines with nourishing, yet lightweight products or application.
But remember, your skin is unique! If your routine is working, don't change it, but if you notice changes in texture, hydration, or color, try to adjust accordingly. You can experiment with more or less of different products or the frequency of your routine. Also try adding in or removing products, if necessary.
With these seasonal tweaks collectively providing the ultimate mature skincare strategy, your gorgeous glow will radiate from the inside out! Take advantage of spring's fresh start to refine your regimen and let your natural beauty shine.
