Spring is here, and it’s time to adjust your skincare routine to embrace the warmer, sunnier days ahead. With melanin-rich skin, a tailored routine ensures hydration, protection, and radiance during the changing season.

5 Tips to Prep Your Skin for Spring:

1. Lighten Your Moisturizer

Switch to a lightweight, water-based moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without feeling heavy during the warmer months. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or aloe vera for refreshing hydration.

2. Upgrade Your SPF Game

Warmer days mean more sun exposure, so double down on sun protection. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to shield your melanin-rich skin from harmful UV rays and prevent hyperpigmentation.

3. Start Exfoliating Regularly

Spring is the perfect time to slough off dead winter skin. Use a gentle exfoliator 1–2 times per week to brighten your complexion and prepare it for better product absorption.

4. Incorporate Antioxidants

Protect your skin from environmental stressors like pollution and free radicals. Add an antioxidant serum, like one with vitamin C, to your routine for glowing, protected skin.

5. Don’t Forget Your Lips and Hands

As the weather warms up, keep your lips and hands hydrated with nourishing balms and creams. These areas are often overlooked but need just as much TLC.

By following these tips, you can ensure your melanin-rich skin stays glowing, hydrated, and healthy all spring long.
