Spring Skin Prep — How to Transition Your Routine for the Warmer Months

As winter fades and the weather begins to warm, many of our clients at Platinum Cosmetics start to notice changes in their skin. You might find your usual products aren’t quite doing the job, or that breakouts, oiliness, or congestion creep in where dryness used to be.

Spring is a time of renewal — and it’s the perfect moment to reset your routine, refresh your skin, and prepare for the brighter months ahead.

Here’s how we help clients make that transition smoothly and effectively.

1. Refresh Your Cleanser and Moisturiser

In winter, richer products help support the skin barrier against cold, dry air. But in spring, lightweight textures are usually better suited to changing humidity and rising temperatures.

• Swap to a gentle gel or cream cleanser if your skin feels oilier

• Use a lightweight moisturiser that hydrates without heaviness

• Avoid foaming cleansers that can strip — especially if you’re using actives or treatments

If your skin is still recovering from winter, our facials can help boost hydration and bring back your natural glow.

2. Recommit to Daily SPF

Many people relax their sunscreen habits in winter, especially if they’re indoors or working under cloud cover. But UV levels start to climb in August — and so does the risk of pigmentation and collagen breakdown.

• Apply SPF 50+ every morning

• Reapply every 2–3 hours if you’re outside, near windows, or exercising

• We recommend formulas from our skin care range that feel light and non-greasy — so you’re more likely to use them consistently

3. Consider a Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

Spring is a great time to address:

• Post-winter dullness

• Mild pigmentation

• Uneven skin texture

• Early signs of sun damage

Our skin rejuvenation treatments and Fotona laser sessions can help refresh the skin and create a more even base as you head into the warmer months.

4. Exfoliate — Gently and Strategically

With more sweat and oil production in spring, you may need to introduce mild exfoliation if your skin feels congested. But be cautious:

• Avoid overuse of AHAs or scrubs

• Stick to 1–3 times per week

• Pair with barrier-supporting ingredients like niacinamide or panthenol

If in doubt, we can help create a spring-safe routine during your consultation.

5. Book a Seasonal Skin Check-In

A consultation is the perfect way to get ahead of spring skin concerns. Whether you’re looking to fade pigmentation, prevent breakouts, or simply get your glow back, we can tailor a plan that aligns with your goals and the season ahead.
