Skincare tips for spring

Give pride of place to radiant skin without hiding it under layers of thick makeup. Fresh colors and minimal coverage are the order of the day, along with lighter cleansers that hydrate the skin without clogging pores. Spring-clean your skincare rack: Go through your winter products and get rid of all outdated items and those that won’t suit spring skin. Buff away the dead skin cells of winter. Eliminate the dry skin flakes which would have accumulated during the colder months with a good exfoliation in the shower. Follow up with a quality but light moisturizer. This is important as a thicker moisturizer will clog your pores during the sweatier spring months, leading to breakouts. The sun may not seem to be out in full force but wear your SPF+ sunscreen to prevent sun damage.
