Spring Skincare Prep: How to Refresh Your Skin for the Warmer Months
Spring is finally here — and with it comes longer days, warmer temperatures, and more time in the sun. While many of us switch up our wardrobe for the season, your skincare routine also needs a refresh.
At Platinum Cosmetics in Port Melbourne, we see spring as the perfect time to reset your skin after the dry winter months and prep for a healthy, radiant summer.
Why Your Skin Needs a Seasonal Reset
During winter, we tend to load up on heavier moisturisers and protective products to fight dry, tight, or flaky skin. As the weather warms up, humidity increases, sun exposure becomes more frequent, and your skin naturally produces more oil. If your routine stays stuck in winter mode, it can lead to congestion, breakouts, and a dull complexion.
That’s why spring is the ideal time to focus on:
Light exfoliation to remove buildup and dead skin cells
Adjusting your moisturiser and SPF for the season
Introducing active ingredients that support long-term skin health
Best Treatments for Spring
At our clinic, we often recommend a combination of professional treatments and homecare adjustments to transition into the new season. Some of the most effective in-clinic options include:
Facials: Our custom facials are perfect for refreshing tired winter skin. Think brightening enzyme masks, gentle extractions, and deep hydration.
Laser treatments: Laser isn’t just for winter. Fotona’s gentle modes can be used year-round to target redness, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone — all common concerns coming out of winter.
Skin rejuvenation: Whether it’s dullness, fine lines or sunspots, spring is a great time to book a consultation and plan your treatment calendar for the months ahead.
What to Change in Your Home Routine
In spring, it’s important to strike the right balance between lightness and support. This might mean:
Swapping a heavy moisturiser for a gel-based hydrator
Introducing a vitamin C serum for antioxidant protection
Upping your SPF game — and yes, you need to wear it even on cloudy spring days
We can help tailor your skincare routine during your next appointment so you’re not guessing what to use and when.
Plan Ahead for Summer Glow
Spring is also the best time to start a treatment plan that will have you glowing by summer. Whether you’re interested in laser resurfacing, volume restoration, or just better skin habits, now is the time to set your goals.
