We all know that changes in the season can affect our skin, but what we do not always know is how to modify our skin care products and regimes to counter act these changes. There are ways to work around the fluctuations in the weather and to ensure our skin is healthy and radiant no matter what the time of year.

With each shift in the season we have to reassess our skin and then reevaluate our skin care regimen. Also, using pH balanced products that protect the acid mantel, a natural protective barrier, is vital no matter the season.

In the spring we are out and about again after being cooped up all winter long, and we have to watch for excessive sun exposure. The sun can break down our collagen and elastin causing pre-mature aging of the skin along with sunburn. We must protect our skin during this time of year by using proper skin care products and sunscreen.

Energize is our light weight facial moisturizer equivalent to a 5% SPF. It also contains ester C which protects the skin from sun exposure and guards your collagen and elastin from breaking down as quickly. Contour oil is our essential body oil that contains ingredients rich in antioxidants and free radical scavengers which promote the appearance of anti-aging as well as ingredients such as Kukui oil that can protect our skin from the sun.

In humid and warm climates, a lightweight moisturizer may work best for you unless your skin is extremely dry throughout the year, as you do not lose as much hydration due to the moisture-rich air. For a light weight body moisturizer, try the botanically enriched Hydrate. If your skin feels increasingly oily in the spring an astringent toner such as our facial Mist which contains peppermint and witch hazel to calm and cool the skin, or an oil control facial mask such as Purify may work wonders for you.

Don’t forget to protect your lips with our Planet Beach Mint lip balm containing a SPF as well. Aside of the products that you can use to counteract the spring changes to your skin, you may also love our facial and full body Red Light services.
