Skin in spring: how to care for it properly

During the winter, the skin suffered the effects of wind and low temperatures, and we took care of it by favoring products with nourishing properties. Now, spring is just around the corner! The season of mild temperatures, first outdoor walks and weekend getaways has finally arrived, but also of allergies and sensitive, reddened and irritated skin, mainly due to the presence of dust and pollen in the air. With the change of season, our skin's needs also change, but what products should we include in our spring skincare for glowing, protected, and long-lasting moisturized skin?

You may not know that, during the winter season, the skin on our face tends to accumulate and retain more impurities than in other seasons, mainly due to less sweating. For this reason, it becomes essential in the spring months to ensure that our skin is effectively cleansed, which goes to deeply cleanse the skin of everything superfluous that has accumulated during the previous months. But how do we adapt our skincare to meet the needs of our skin in these spring months?

First of all, the first step is to find (as in all things) the right balance. Well yes, because while the change of season implies a detox mission, it is also necessary to take the right care in choosing products that are not overly aggressive on our skin. Because while it is true that we need to cleanse our face of impurities and dead cells, it is equally true that we must not compromise our skin's microbiome, that is, the ecosystem of bacteria that protects it from external aggressions.

We have said that the watchword of the first step of skincare is balance. So let's see what products to use to gently purify the skin of our face:

• Exfoliating face scrub: face scrub is very useful, especially during these times, to go and rid the face of impurities and dead cells (1-2 times a week, no more!). It is preferable to use a product with natural, nonaggressive ingredients that will not irritate the skin, such as A+MORE, the purifying face scrub from yoUBe Cosmetics.
• Facial Cleansing Milk: To cleanse the face and neck and remove make-up, we recommend using a gentle product with a creamy texture that deeply moisturizes the skin and leaves it soft. The product that has all the makings to cleanse your skin gently is VIA LACTEA, yoUBe's gentle cleansing milk.
• Facial toner: the last step for a proper cleansing is to apply the toner with the fingertips of your fingers or by helping yourself with a cotton pad. The goal is to tone, rebalance and brighten, and the best ally to do this without going to compromise the balance of our skin's microbiome is INFINITE JOY, the yoUBe Cosmetics signature glow tonic.

Now that we've unveiled the secrets to a 10-star spring cleanse, let's take a look together at what active ingredients should not be missing from products to take care of your skin during these spring months.

• Antioxidants: Vitamin E is an ingredient known for its antioxidant properties. During the springtime, this active ingredient proves particularly useful in fighting free radicals and helps the skin maintain a healthy, youthful appearance. You can find Vitamin E in l'assoluta, the hydrating face cream from yoUBe Cosmetics.
• Hyaluronic Acid: known and appreciated for its repairing, regenerative, moisturizing and anti-aging properties, it is the must-have ingredient to take care of your skin during this change of season. You can benefit from its properties by using products from yoUBe's signature anti-aging line: the absolute, d'incanto e mia brama.
• Niacinamide: This Vitamin B3 derivative is known for its many antioxidant, moisturizing and skin barrier-protective properties. It also prevents skin aging by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Are you curious* to try its effectiveness on your facial skin during these spring months? Come discover it in INFINITE JOY and A+MORE from yoUBe's smart cleansing line.

Finally, we must not forget that as the hours of daylight increase , so does the exposure of our facial skin to the sun and UV rays. For this reason, it is essential to preserve the well-being of our skin by using daily SPF 50 protection on the face and neck (which can also be applied under make-up) that is light, but at the same time moisturizing and protective, such as our Defence SPF 50 fluid that you can find in the yoUBe Signature Day and Night Treatment.
