Time to Transition: How to Update Your Skin Care from Winter to Spring
As the weather shifts from cold and dry to warmer and more humid, your skin’s needs change. The heavier products that protected your barrier through winter might now feel too rich, while exfoliation and brightening may move back into focus.
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skin care routine — and your skin itself.
Here’s how we support our clients through the seasonal transition here in Port Melbourne.
1. Lighten up your moisturiser
As humidity increases, skin holds onto more moisture. If your winter moisturiser now feels too greasy or causes congestion, it might be time to swap to a lighter formula.
Look for:
Gel-cream textures
Hydrating but non-comedogenic ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and panthenol
We stock a curated selection of seasonal-appropriate skin care options to suit all skin types.
2. Reintroduce gentle exfoliation
Many people ease off active products during the winter months, especially if the skin becomes dry or reactive. Spring is a great time to reintroduce:
AHA or BHA-based cleansers or toners
Gentle enzyme masks
Retinol (under guidance)
If you’re not sure where to start, book a facial or skin health consultation to help us reset your plan.
3. Book a skin refresh treatment
Your skin might still be showing signs of winter — flakiness, dullness, congestion, or uneven tone. Consider:
A light laser peel or resurfacing
A customised facial with extractions and hydration
Skin rejuvenation treatments tailored to your concerns
We often see fantastic results with gentle Fotona modes that target texture and pigmentation while preserving skin comfort.
4. Reassess your SPF habit
In winter, it’s easy to become complacent with sunscreen. But springtime UV exposure in Melbourne climbs fast — especially with longer days.
We recommend applying a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every morning, even on cloudy days, and reapplying if you’re outdoors for extended periods.
5. Address post-winter concerns before summer arrives
Spring is the time to tackle:
Pigmentation from past sun exposure
Congestion from heavier winter products
Textural issues or uneven tone
Many clients choose to start a short course of laser or body contouring treatments in spring so they’re glowing and confident for summer.
