Springtime Skincare

By Amanda Farina


Finally, we are going over that winter hump on our calendar and getting closer to day light savings and the long awaiting spring season. Now, what is your initial thought when it comes to warmer weather? maybe it's a new wardrobe, or a new haircut, something to make you feel great about the amazing weather coming up. What is typically a forgotten importance to the new you as you get ready for spring is how you are protecting your skin! keep in mind, the sun is coming out, it's getting warmer and its hanging out in the sky longer than you have been used to. How are going from your winter skincare regimen to guarding yourself from the UBV and UVA rays for the spring season? The answer is easy! You should always be putting on some form of SPF moisturizer. All over. No kidding! I mean it!

Many of people assume the sun is good for you; it couldn't hurt just to lie out for a little while right? Well yeah sure, maybe, but it depends on what kind of skin you even have. Not everyone is the same. If you see somebody out on their lunch break just basking in the sun does that mean you can? Not necessarily. Here is my secret: always have SPF at least on your face because I swear, in the long run, when you are older, you will be looking 10 times younger than the rest of your friends who lathered themselves in oil instead of having a better skincare routine and choosing SPF moisturizer instead.

You might be thinking I am getting ahead of myself by telling you how essential it is to take care of your skin when only spring is coming. Why don't I just wait until summer when everyone really is out there taking it all in you ask? Because the earlier and more frequently you protect your skin, the better your skin will look and feel. Even if you have oily skin, people make the mistake all the time by moisturizing less because they think it makes it worse and the sun clears their skin. There is where they are wrong. It may sound weird, but I promise, even if you think you have to worlds most oily face, if you keep a better skincare routine and moisturize daily with SPF protection before you get out in the sun you will without a doubt have better, clear and healthy skin.

Now is the time to pick out a lotion that is right for your skin. Like I said just before, everyone is different. These days there are so many different options for more specific type of skin and whatever issues they might have. For me personally, I tend to have a split 50/50 of either one day having insanely oily skin, or having extremely dry skin where I feel like I might as well slap my face and body in a tub full of moisturizer before my skin cracks. What works perfectly for me is Likewise Daily Skincare 's Normal to Oily skin with SPF 50. It is a complete multi task cream that protects me from this up and coming spring time sun, no matter how warm or chilly it may be and balances my skin with having the right amount of oil on my face while keeping it clean and clear.

Here is the absolute best part out of all of this, gorgeous worthwhile summer skin awaits you as the weather just gets better and better, and whose the most ready for it and looking the greatest? You are! So just remember, right before you walk out your door, look in your mirror and ask yourself, did I protect my skin for the day ahead of me? The answer must always be yes!
