Spring in Melbourne can change by the hour, and your skin notices. After a season of heating and heavier skincare, it’s a good time to review your routine.
Here are a few simple things to consider.
1. Keep cleansing gentle
A gentle cleanser, morning and night, is a good foundation. If your skin feels tight or uncomfortable afterwards, your cleanser may be too harsh for you.
2. Lighten up your moisturiser
As the weather warms, a lighter moisturiser may feel more comfortable than a rich winter cream. Hydration still matters, so choose a formula that suits your skin type.
3. Exfoliate with care
Gentle exfoliation can help skin look smoother and fresher. Start slowly, as over-exfoliating can leave skin irritated. Your clinician can recommend what suits your skin.
4. Protect your skin from the sun
UV levels rise through spring, even on cooler days. Daily sun protection is an important part of any routine. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen, apply it as directed, and reapply when you’re outdoors. Hats, sunglasses and shade help too.
5. Keep it simple and consistent
A routine you can stick to usually beats a long list of products. Cleanse, moisturise and protect, then add products gradually so you can see how your skin responds.
6. Book a skin analysis
If you’re unsure where to start, a professional skin analysis can help you understand your skin and put together a plan. At Bayside Skin and Laser, our team can talk you through options such as:
