The best spring skin treatments and products

Spring is finally here, which is good news for our skin after the cold winter months.

It’s also a vital part of the skincare season, giving you the chance to rehydrate your dry skin and prep for the summer months.

To help you do that, we’ve put together a guide to our top five skin products and treatments for spring. But before we get there, let’s look at why exactly spring skincare is so important.

Why spring skincare is important

Firstly, the timing. 

After winter, your skin has just been through several months of cold weather that can be quite damaging; particularly for sensitive skin. 

Specifically, the cold weather outdoors and dry air indoors can leave your skin feeling dehydrated. This can lead to itchy, sore, and even cracked skin. Although some creams and serums can help protect your skin during winter, many people will enter spring with dehydrated skin. This makes hydration all the more important to restore the natural freshness and vitality of your skin.

Spring is also important because it comes just before summer, and potentially very warm weather. For those in colder climates, it’s also the time of year you’re likely to jet abroad to sunnier shores. But prolonged exposure to warmer temperatures can lead to acne, sun damage and - yes - more dryness. It’s why prepping your skin during the spring can also prepare you for summer.

Spring is a kind of happy medium between the extremes of summer and winter, and therefore a perfect opportunity to build your skin’s defenses. Here are some of our top skincare treatments and products that will repair the damage done in winter whilst prepping your skin for summer.

Our top 5 recommended treatments

1. Profhilo is an injectable treatment that boosts deep hydration and restores elasticity to your skin. The hyaluronic acid in Profhilo injections works like a sponge, holding in vital moisture that leads to smoother, plumper skin. This process also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in your body, helping to maintain the firmness and elasticity of your skin.
2. Microneedling makes tiny punctures in the surface of your skin. This comfortable process stimulates your body to replace old skin cells and stimulates the production of collagen in your body - which is particularly important because your collagen levels tend to drop over the winter.
3. Hydrafacial uses patented technology to provide deep hydration for your skin. It works by firstly detoxifying the skin before eliminating dead skin cells. After that, we extract hidden debris, hydrate the new layer of skin and protect the surface of your skin with antioxidants and peptides. We then use infrared LED lights to stimulate the natural production of collagen and vitamin D in your skin.
4. Chemical peels are excellent hydrators for your skin. But rather than hydrating existing skin cells, they instead remove damaged skin cells from the surface of your skin to stimulate the production of new, healthy ones. This gives your skin a welcome post-winter reset.
5. For a more powerful yet more comfortable treatment, you might consider PicoSure laser skin resurfacing. This process carefully removes the outer layers of your skin by converting laser energy into short bursts. It’s ideal for boosting collagen production, rehydrating your skin and also reversing the effects of sun damage.

Our top 5 recommended products

1. ZO Skin Health Hydrating Cleanser. This powerful, medical-grade skincare product helps retain moisture during the cleansing process, minimising dryness and irritation for sensitive skin.
2. During spring it’s an excellent idea to exfoliate your skin to remove dry winter skin, boost cell turnover and prep for warmer weather. And the ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Polish is perfect for that. It contains exfoliation-boosting magnesium crystals which help to restore smoother texture and healthy glow whilst also removing dead skin cells.
3. ZO Skin Health Complexion Renewal Pads work using a dual-action exfoliation process, which removes dead skin cells to prevent clogged pores. This reduces oiliness, minimises surface oil and soothes irritated skin.
4. HAPPY intim Nebula Gel is a rehydrating gel for your intimate area. It contains a pre/probiotic complex with pH adjuster es­pecially recommend­ed for intimate areas. Meanwhile, its antioxidant properties provide an immediate soothing effect.
5. During spring you should switch to lightweight, hydrating and brightening serums to reverse winter dullness and protect against increasing UV exposure. That’s why the ZO Skin Health Firming Serum is in many ways the perfect spring skincare product. It powerfully hydrates your skin to support visible improvements in skin elasticity and firmness. Perfect for spring, perfect for summer, perfect all year round.
