Spring Skincare: How to Transition Your Routine With the Season
As the weather begins to warm up in Melbourne, your skin needs change — whether you realise it or not.
Just like you wouldn’t wear a heavy coat into spring, you shouldn’t carry your winter skincare routine straight through to September.
The shift in temperature, humidity, and sun exposure means your skin may need lighter textures, different ingredients, and more UV protection.
Here’s how we help our clients transition their skincare for spring.
Step 1: Reassess Your Moisturiser
Winter calls for heavier, occlusive creams — but in spring, these can start to feel greasy or lead to congestion.
Switch to:
Lightweight gel-cream moisturisers
Formulas with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide or panthenol
Non-comedogenic options if you’re prone to breakouts
Not sure what’s right for your skin? We’ll help you find the ideal product from our skincare range.
Step 2: Don’t Drop Hydration — Just Change the Format
Hydration still matters — in fact, increased sun exposure can dehydrate your skin more quickly.
Add:
A hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid or peptides
A mist or essence between layers
A nourishing facial (we offer several hydration-focused options)
Step 3: Step Up Your Sunscreen Game
Spring often brings more time outdoors — even if it’s just longer walks or brighter commutes.
This is where SPF becomes non-negotiable.
We recommend:
Broad-spectrum SPF 50
Reapplication every 2–4 hours if exposed
Tinted SPF options if you want coverage and protection in one
It’s especially important if you’ve had laser treatments or skin rejuvenation recently.
Step 4: Consider Pigment and Pore Control
With more sun comes more pigmentation risk — and in spring, we often see a rise in breakouts from clogged pores as people begin sweating more.
Now’s a good time to:
Introduce vitamin C (for brightening and antioxidant support)
Use gentle exfoliants 2–3 times per week
Book a clarifying facial if you’re feeling dull or congested
Step 5: Tailor It to You
Every skin is different — and we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all skincare.
Whether you’re dealing with dryness, breakouts, or post-laser sensitivity, we can help you build a routine that supports your goals for the season ahead.
