Spring Skin Prep: Why Sun Protection Starts Now
The weather is warming up — and with it, your skin is about to face more UV, more time outdoors, and a higher risk of pigmentation returning.
At Platinum Cosmetics, we see this every year: clients invest in beautiful laser or facial results during the cooler months, only to have sun exposure undo the progress by spring.
Here’s how to protect your results and prep your skin for the season ahead.
1. Start Daily SPF Now (Even if It’s Cloudy)
The biggest mistake we see? Waiting until summer to start sunscreen.
UV damage doesn’t wait — and neither should your protection.
We recommend a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every single morning, especially after treatments like:
Look for a physical or hybrid formula if you’re prone to sensitivity, and reapply if you’re outdoors.
2. Avoid Triggering Pigmentation
If you’re prone to melasma, freckles, or sun spots, now’s the time to lock in results with:
Antioxidants (like vitamin C or niacinamide)
Daily sunscreen
Pigment-suppressing serums prescribed by your clinician
Even mild incidental sun can trigger pigmentation relapse — so use hats, sunglasses, and shade when possible.
3. Strengthen Your Barrier
A strong skin barrier will protect you from UV damage, pollution, and inflammation.
Use products rich in:
Ceramides
Panthenol
Hyaluronic acid
Our professional skincare range includes barrier-supportive options that won’t clog or irritate during the warmer months.
4. Consider a Pre-Summer Treatment
Want to clear up pigmentation, redness or dull texture before summer hits?
Now is the time to book:
Gentle resurfacing facials
Laser brightening treatments
Skin rejuvenation plans tailored to your skin type
Your skin needs time to respond and recover — so by starting now, you’ll glow naturally by summer without rushing or overdoing it.
