Spring is in the air and your skincare routine should bloom right along with it. As temperatures rise and humidity levels shift, your skin’s needs change. At Ziba Medical Aesthetics, we know just how important it is to adjust your regimen to match the season. Below, we’ve broken down our top do’s and don’ts for radiant, healthy spring skin.
Skincare DO’s
Do switch to lightweight moisturizers. Heavy creams that protect your skin during winter can clog pores as humidity increases. Opt for lighter, water-based moisturizers that keep your skin hydrated without feeling greasy. For enhanced hydration, consider treatments like HydraFacial, which is a fantastic way to deeply hydrate, exfoliate, and clear congested pores.
Do exfoliate gently. Spring is the perfect time to shed dull, flaky winter skin. Exfoliating 1–2 times a week with a gentle physical or chemical exfoliant promotes cell turnover and brightens your complexion. For a deeper, professional refresh, we offer chemical peels with customizable options to help renew your skin safely and effectively.
Do hydrate from the inside out. Warmer days mean more time outdoors and a greater risk of dehydration. Make sure to drink plenty of water and eat hydrating foods like cucumber, watermelon, and leafy greens. For an added boost, Ziba offers IV Fluids and vitamin therapy to help nourish your skin and support your overall wellness.
Do adjust for seasonal changes. With spring often comes more oil production, sensitivity, or breakouts. Seasonal allergies may also affect your skin with redness or puffiness. Pay attention to what your skin is telling you and adapt your routine accordingly. Our team at Ziba can provide personalized consultations to address these changes and recommend the right treatment path.
Skincare DON’Ts
Don’t skip sunscreen. Just because it’s not summer doesn’t mean your skin is safe from sun damage. Spring sun can be sneaky! Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, and reapply every two hours if you’re spending extended time outside. Sun protection is essential to prevent premature aging and sunspots.
Don’t over-exfoliate. While exfoliation is key to healthy skin, going overboard can strip the skin’s protective barrier and lead to irritation or inflammation. Avoid using harsh scrubs too frequently, especially if you’re also using retinols or active acids. Gentle consistency is better than aggressive treatment.
Don’t hang on to expired products. Spring cleaning should extend to your skincare shelf. Check expiration dates and toss any products that smell off, have changed color, or have been open too long. Expired SPF and actives like vitamin C or retinol can become ineffective—or even irritating.
Don’t ignore signs of irritation or imbalance. As your skin adjusts to warmer weather, don’t brush off new sensitivities, breakouts, or changes in texture. These signs often mean your skin needs some support. Ziba’s expert team can assess your needs and recommend calming treatments like facials or microneedling to get your skin back on track.
