All good things come with Spring!
Fresh flowers, warmer temperatures, yummy fruits and veggies finally ripe and ready, the list is endless. However, the environment isn’t the only one thing being refreshed – so is your skin! The end of winter means the end of dry, chapped skin, heavy moisturizers, and extra hydration face masks used to compensate.
Finding a balance between the deep moisturizing properties of your winter skincare routine and your lighter summer products can be a tad tricky.
No worries, The Cool Mom Co. has done the research for you! We’ve put together our ideal springtime skincare routine, for that not-too-heavy, not-too-light feeling that will transition you from winter to spring in no time at all.
Youth To The People Superfood Cleanser
Thanks to shoutouts from skincare influencers such as Hyram Yarbro, this cleanser has taken the internet by storm over the past couple of years and with good reason! Gentle enough for everyday use, this skincare staple relies on antioxidants derived from plants such as green tea, spinach, and kale. This powerful blend helps combat damage from environmental sources, such as pollution and UV exposure. It cleanses thoroughly without stripping skin of moisture, making it the perfect cleanser to incorporate into your spring routine.
Honest Beauty Vitamin C Radiance Serum
If the winter months have left your skin looking dull, look no further than Honest Beauty’s Vitamin C Radiance Serum. This powerful formula helps to increase the skin’s radiant appearance. If you are living in a colder climate, where you still need a little hydration boost, this product also contains hyaluronic acid to help lock in moisture.
While Honest Beauty’s formula is designed to be used morning or night, we recommend not skipping your sunscreen, if you choose to put it on in the AM. Vitamin C can increase skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, and we don’t want anything disrupting the glow you’re going to get with this one!
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
Cleansing balms have risen in popularity recently, as part of a double cleanse routine. Especially useful to those who wear makeup on a daily basis, cleansing balms can be used for the first cleanse to remove skin of makeup and other products.
Elemis’ bestselling balm is chock full of nourishing oils including lavender, chamomile, and eucalyptus. Which of course has the added benefit of smelling like a dream. This deeply hydrating product is perfect to use for double cleansing as it will not dehydrate the skin.
Dermalogica Awaken Peptide Eye Cream
It can be easy to forget to include an eye cream when building a skincare routine. But with a product as good as Dermalogica’s Awaken Peptide Eye Cream, you’ll never want to skip it again!
This creamy formula is perfect for those mornings when you didn’t quite get as much shut-eye as you wanted. The active blend of Rosemary Leaf and tetrapeptides minimizes puffiness and fine lines. Additionally, caffeine helps wake up the skin leaving you looking refreshed and ready for the day!
Glow Recipe Watermelon Pink Juice Oil-Free Moisturizer
The pretty pink shade of this moisturizer is enough to make you feel like the spring blossoms are growing inside your bathroom. But this powerhouse moisturizer is more than just beautiful. Packed with amino acids and vitamins, this oil-free moisturizer is lightweight enough to help you transition toward a warm-weather skin routine. Still hyaluronic acid makes it moisturizing enough to use day or night. Your skin will be glowing in no time!
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen
Finding a tried and true sunscreen can be a lot like dating; you have to go through a lot of rotten apples to find the right one! Don’t waste your time on sun protection that leaves your face chalky colored, or with clogged pores. Instead, try Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen.
Not only is this sunscreen invisible on the skin, making it suitable for all skin tones, but it’s also fragrance-free. The SPF 40 formula is completely oil-free helping to let your pores breathe. Added bonus? It works perfectly as a makeup primer, helping your look stay put all day. Yes, please!
