Spring is all about renewal—so why not give your skin the same treatment? As the seasons change, it’s the perfect time to transition your skincare routine. Winter can take a toll on your skin, leaving it dry, dull, and in need of a refresh. Here’s Dr Mo’s how-to guide for achieving glowing skin this Spring.
1. Hydration and Barrier Repair
Winter often leaves the skin dehydrated and the skin barrier compromised due to cold weather and indoor heating. Now is the time to replenish moisture levels and strengthen the skin barrier. Swap out heavy creams for lightweight, hydrating formulas enriched with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides.
We recommend: Obagi Lightweight Moisturiser.
Our go-to treatment: Profhilo—a skin booster that deeply hydrates and restores skin elasticity.
2. Exfoliate for Radiance
A buildup of dead skin cells can make your complexion look dull. Gentle exfoliation is key to revealing fresh, radiant skin. We recommend incorporating exfoliants like AHAs (glycolic or lactic acid) or opting for an in-clinic treatment like a Hydrafacial, which deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates in one go.
3. Brighten and Even Out Skin Tone
Spring is the perfect time to target uneven skin tone caused by winter stressors. Ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide can help brighten your complexion. For a more intensive approach, treatments like microneedling with polynucleotides or chemical peels can stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
4. Boost Collagen from Within
Healthy, youthful skin starts from the inside out, and collagen plays a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, so supplementing can be a game-changer for skin health.
Our Pick: We recommend Luna & Solis Collagen Activator, which combines Amino Acid Complex in the same proportion as human Collagen with Vitamin C and Astaxanthin—two powerful antioxidants that support collagen synthesis and protect against oxidative stress. This daily supplement helps improve skin firmness, hydration, and overall radiance.
5. SPF is Non-Negotiable
With sunnier days ahead, it’s essential to up your sun protection game. Even if you’ve been diligent with SPF in winter, springtime UV exposure increases, making high-quality sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) a must.
Our Pick: Obagi’s tinted SPF for daily protection.
6. Detox Your Skin with Lymphatic Drainage
Seasonal changes can lead to puffiness and sluggish circulation, leaving your skin looking tired and dull. Our Bespoke Facial is designed to combat these effects, incorporating lymphatic drainage techniques to gently stimulate circulation, reduce fluid retention, and sculpt the face. This advanced facial not only detoxifies the skin but also enhances its natural radiance, giving you a lifted, refreshed appearance. Perfect for maintaining a healthy glow all year round.
