Spring is quickly approaching, bringing warmer weather, longer days, and a sense of restoration and renewal. If winter left your skin dry and dull and in need of a refresh, we have you covered with five expert-backed strategies to help you achieve a radiant, healthy glow.
Tip 1: Exfoliate Away Your Winter Layers
Exposure to winter weather and indoor heating often leads to a build-up of dead skin cells, dulling the complexion and making it tough for skincare products to fully penetrate. Turn to intense exfoliation with treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion which unclog pores, slough away dead cells, and reveal brighter, fresher skin.
Tip 2: Rehydrate, Restore, and Renew the Skin Barrier
The skin is your largest organ — treat it accordingly. Once you’ve exfoliated away the winter layers (both literally and metaphorically) it’s time to restore the barrier with treatments that focus on restoration and hydration.
If you’re looking for an extra boost outside of your medical-grade products, we have options:
- VBeam Photorejuvenation: This treatment reduces redness and improves overall skin tone by targeting broken capillaries and uneven pigmentation.
- Nutrafol®: Supplements that nourish the skin from within by providing essential vitamins and nutrients to promote a healthy complexion.
- HydraFacial: A tried and true cult favorite, the 30-minute facial will not only exfoliate away dead skin, but it’ll also inject moisture anew into the fresh barrier.
Tip 3: Boost Collagen for a Firmer, Youthful Look
Collagen production naturally slows with age, but spring is the perfect time to incorporate treatments and ingredients that stimulate its renewal. Call it a sign, call it whatever you want, the fact remains, collagen-boosting skincare and in-office treatments can help maintain firmness and elasticity.
Let your confidence bloom like the flowers outside with our in-office treatments:
- Sculptra®: A biostimulatory filler that gradually restores volume and stimulates natural collagen production. It’s the industry’s best-kept secret, and now it’s all yours.
- RHA® Dermal Filler & Restylane Contour®: Restore hydration, volume, and smoothness to areas prone to fine lines. And give yourself some extra plump if you want, too.
Bonus tip: Daily vitamin C serum application can also help enhance collagen production and provide antioxidant protection.
Tip 4: Always Wear SPF to Protect Against UV Damage
It’s impossible to make a list of great skin tips without including UV protection. Daily SPF should be a non-negotiable part of your skincare routine as the sun becomes stronger. UV exposure causes premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and increased skin cancer risk.
Best Practices for Sun Protection:
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors
- Wear a hat and sunglasses for extra protection
- Opt for shade wherever possible
In 2025 if you aren’t wearing sunscreen religiously, you haven’t been listening.
Pssst: PDT (Photodynamic Therapy) can help reverse early signs of sun-related aging if you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation from previous sunny seasons. Ask us about it.
Tip 5: Spring Clean Your Skincare Routine
Transitioning into spring requires an updated skincare routine focusing on hydration, renewal, and protection. As spring air brings increased humidity, it’s the perfect time to switch up your skincare routine to match the new climate. Switch our heavy winter creams for lightweight, hydrating formulations. Look for hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and antioxidants to replenish moisture without clogging pores.
Take time to evaluate and refresh your skincare products. Toss out expired items, switch to lighter formulations, and introduce active ingredients gradually.
Here are some powerhouse ingredients to look for:
- Retinol: Helps with skin renewal
- Niacinamide: Reduces inflammation and improves skin texture.
- Peptides: Support collagen production and repair skin barriers.
