Because your skin needs a plan—not a panic peel
Spring is not the season to throw everything at your face. This time of year is about smart, seasonal pivots: clearing out winter dullness without compromising your skin barrier as the sun gets stronger.
Here’s your no-nonsense, expert-backed “Do This, Not That” guide to navigating spring skincare and treatments with intention—and zero regrets.
Do: Hydration treatments
Skinvive™, AquaGold Finetouch, SaltFacial®
These treatments deliver hydration below the surface without irritating or stripping. They boost skin function, refine texture, and enhance radiance—without making you UV-sensitive.
Don’t: Heavy resurfacing peels
Deep chemical peels and aggressive lasers increase sun sensitivity and compromise your barrier just when UV exposure is ramping up. Translation? Higher risk, less payoff.
Do: Microneedling with PRP or Exosomes
Controlled collagen stimulation with customizable depth
Microneedling boosts your skin’s repair system while improving texture, tone, and scars—with minimal downtime and sun risk when properly protected.
Don’t: Skip your SPF
Even if you’re only “running errands,” UV damage is cumulative. SPF is non-negotiable—especially post-treatment.
Do: Light laser or energy-based maintenance
Think Lutronic Clarity II for pigment or Ultherapy for subtle lift—non-invasive treatments that don’t wreck your skin’s ability to defend itself outdoors.
Don’t: IPL or BBL if you’re tan (or planning to be)
These powerful light-based treatments work best on untanned skin and require strict sun avoidance before and after. Save them for fall if beach days are in your forecast.
Do: Skin barrier support + brightening
Hello Biologique Recherche P50, SkinMedica Lytera®, Environ’s C-Quence range
The goal is healthy, even-toned skin—not over-exfoliated inflammation. Support your barrier while gently fading pigment and prepping for summer sun.
Don’t: Try to “start over” with a harsh routine
Spring isn’t the time to shock your skin. Think reset, not purge. More isn’t better—smarter is.
Final Strategy:
Spring skin needs structure, not drama. Hydrate. Brighten. Build collagen. Protect. The results will show by summer—and your future self will thank you.
