Spring skin: how to take care of it the right way

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

You might not know that during the winter season, our facial skin 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 our skin gets effective cleansing that deeply cleans the skin of everything superfluous that has accumulated during the previous months. But how do we adapt our skincare to meet our skin's needs during these spring months?

First of all, the first step is finding (as with everything) the right balance. That's right, because while the change of season implies a detox mission, on the other hand, we need to pay the right attention when choosing products that are not overly aggressive on our skin. Because, while it's true that we need to purify our face of impurities and dead cells, it's equally true that we must not compromise our skin's microbiome—the ecosystem of bacteria that protects it from external aggressions.

We said that the keyword for the first step of skincare is balance. So, let's see which products to use to gently purify your facial skin:

• Face exfoliant: a face scrub is very useful, especially during these times, to clear the face of impurities and dead cells (1-2 times a week, no more!). It's better to use a non-aggressive product with natural ingredients that won't irritate the skin, like A+MORE, the purifying face scrub by yoUBe Cosmetics.
• Face cleansing milk: to cleanse the face and neck and remove makeup, we recommend using a gentle product with a creamy texture that deeply hydrates the skin and leaves it soft. The product that has everything it takes to gently cleanse your skin is VIA LACTEA, the gentle cleansing milk by yoUBe.
• Face toner: the final step for perfect cleansing is applying toner with your fingertips or using a cotton pad. The goal is to tone, rebalance, and brighten, and the best ally to do this without compromising the balance of our skin's microbiome is GIOIA INFINITA, the glow tonic by yoUBe Cosmetics.

Now that we've revealed the secrets to top-notch spring cleansing, let's look at the active ingredients that are a must in products to take care of your skin during these spring months.

• Antioxidants: Vitamin E is an ingredient known for its antioxidant properties. During the spring period, 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 by yoUBe Cosmetics.
• Hyaluronic Acid: known and appreciated for its repairing, regenerative, hydrating, and anti-aging properties, it's the must-have ingredient to care for your skin during this change of season. You can benefit from its properties by using products from the anti-aging line by yoUBe: l’assoluta, d’incanto, and mia brama.
• Niacinamide: this Vitamin B3 derivative is known for its multiple antioxidant, hydrating, and skin barrier-protecting properties. Furthermore, it 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 and discover it in GIOIA INFINITA and A+MORE from the yoUBe smart cleansing line.

Finally, we must not forget that as daylight hours increase, exposure of our facial skin to the sun and UV rays also increases. For this reason, it's essential to preserve our skin's well-being by using SPF 50 protection on the face and neck daily (which can also be applied under makeup) that is lightweight yet hydrating and protective, like our Defence SPF 50 fluid, which you can find in the Day and Night Treatment by yoUBe.
