Spring Skin Preparation

We just had our first day of spring last week. Warmer weather is (hopefully) just around the corner. Your skin will change along with the seasonal transition.

Moving your skin from winter to spring

Put away the heavy moisturizers. Although you need them throughout Calgary’s dry and harsh winters, along with spring comes more humidity.

Exfoliate

It’s always a good time to exfoliate. Because your skin becomes drier in the winter, its really important to remove dead skin cells now. Be gentle – the idea is to polish, not scrub.

Protection

Although you should be wearing sunscreen 24/7 year round, if you haven’t been in, start. Calgary is the sunniest city in Canada, so protect your skin. Sunscreen is the number one way to protect your skin from the ravages of sun damage and reduce your risk of skin cancer.

Try Colorescience Sunforgettable to protect your skin from UVA/UVB rays. Easy to apply and non-greasy in a brush/powder form, Sunforgettable is an all-clear mineral powder sun protection with a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protector. It’s safe for rosacea, acne and eczema. Sunforgettable can also be applied immediately after a chemical peel or laser treatment.

We also love Colorescience Sunforgettable because it’s non-greasy, so it doesn’t interfere with your make-up.
