Transition your skin care routine from winter to spring

Take a good, long look outside your window.

No matter what the weather’s like outside, know that spring is coming soon! When the warmer air and longer days start to sneak in, we all start to feel a little better and more optimistic about the future. We’ll open up our homes and get to cleaning out the old, unneeded and outdated. Why not do the same for your skin care routine?

Spring is a perfect time to ease from your winter skin regimen toward what you’ll need to glow during the summer.

It’s time to lighten and brighten up!

Start by replacing your heavy, dense winter moisturizer with something lighter. Winter months wreak havoc on the skin in part because the air is so dry, your skin needs more vitamins and a heavier cream to stay protected and moisturized. As we move into spring, look for something lighter with a higher SPF to protect your face from those lovely summer rays.

Glowing skin comes from a healthy base. Now’s a great time to consider some deep exfoliation. Cleansers are great for scrubbing away the surface layer of dead and dry cells, but why not dig a little deeper.

The Skin Center at Southgate Medical Group can help you shine

At the Skin Center at Southgate Medical Group, we offer several treatments to help you glow up. Consider a chemical peel, in which a type of acid is applied to the skin to eliminate old, dead cells and stimulate collagen production, leaving you looking rejuvenated, with a brighter, healthier complexion.

Or try microdermabrasion, in which the outer layers of skin are polished, revealing healthier, younger-looking skin while stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer and more vibrant skin.

Your skin is ready to take a deep cleansing breath

Just like you open your windows and let in some fresh air as spring approaches, it’s also time to clean out the expired and outdated skin care products you might have at home. If something’s more than six months old, it’s time to go. Products lose their effectiveness after a while, and in the case of some moisturizers and products that contain SPF, you might be risking incomplete protection from the sun’s rays.

At the Skin Center at Southgate Medical Group, we’re proud to offer a full line of products that will take great care of your skin and help you look and feel your best, including:

Avene mineral sun care SPF 50+, tinted and non-tinted, for face

Glytone sunscreen- SPF 40 for body
