1. Exfoliate to "reset" the skin

Gently exfoliating the skin is beneficial year-round, but it's especially important during the spring...

Coming out of the winter, the skin can be dry, dull, and flaky. This is due to dry weather, indoor heating, and neglecting our skincare routine as we are cooped up during the winter.

Use a gentle exfoliator, such as THE HYDRATING MASK, which helps remove winter build-up. Continue exfoliating 1-2x per week during the summer to help prevent clogged pores and other skin issues that may occur from sweat, sunscreen, and exposure to pollutants.

REMEMBER: Be gentle and don't over-exfoliate, especially with mature skin.

2. Cleanse thoroughly

In the springtime, you typically start spending more time outside. This means sweat, dirt, and exposure to pollutants.

Now is the time to really make sure you cleanse thoroughly, twice a day, if you aren't already.

To prevent stripping your skin of natural oils, use a gentle cleanser like ROSEWATER WELLSPRING CLEANSER, and use lukewarm water when rinsing.

3. Protect your skin from UV damage

Use at least SPF 30 and apply every 2 hours of sun exposure. Also consider wearing protective clothing, such as hats and long-sleeve shirts, and seek shade when possible.

Use skincare products that contain healthy antioxidants, which help protect your skin from environmental damage, including free radicals from UV exposure.

NEROLI RADIANCE SERUM is packed with healthy vitamins and antioxidants that help protect the skin.

4. Hydrate your skin

Sweat = skin dehydration. This can lead to dry, tight, rough skin that is more prone to irritation.

Make sure you are using a daily moisturizer with many hydrating ingredients, but without heavy ingredients that clog pores.

Sole Toscana's ROSEHIP & CALENDULA TRIPLE CREAM is the perfect option.

5. Control allergies

Spring is also allergy season, which can cause redness and irritation in your skin.

Be mindful of any allergy triggers and try to avoid them if possible.

If your skin does become irritated by allergies, SOLE TOSCANA'S PRODUCTS use many natural and organic ingredients that soothe, calm, and reduce inflammation.

6. Protect your lips

Just like your skin, your lips can also become dry and chapped in the spring.

Apply a lip balm with SPF to protect your lips from the sun's rays and keep them hydrated.

7. Don't forget your body

While we often focus on our face, it's important to remember to take care of the skin on our body as well.

Use a moisturizing body lotion like Sole Toscana's AWAKENING ORGANIC BODY LOTION to keep your skin soft and hydrated. And don't forget to apply sunscreen to any exposed skin when you're spending time outdoors.
