your spring skin edit
Could it be that Spring is finally in the air!?
We don’t know about you, but we are more than ready to transition not only our wardrobes from winter to spring but also our skincare routines. So let’s take a look at what prepping our skin for the next season looks like.
1. properly prep your skin
Your cleanser sets the stage for the rest of your skincare. The ZO Gentle Cleanser is a Frida favourite, and for a good reason - this gel-based cleanser removes oil and makeup and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and hydrated, not stripped. It’s safe for all skin types and conditions and is perfect to use after any skincare treatments.
Skin Tip: save yourself some space when jet setting as this doubles as a perfect shaving gel!
2. skin feeling dull? say no more.
Winter can often leave the skin feeling lacklustre and dull, so incorporating and renewing the skin with an exfoliator is the perfect way to get your glow back. Use a pinky nail size amount of the ZO Exfoliating Polish on damp skin after cleansing and get ready to become obsessed. Ultra-fine magnesium oxide crystals will buff away dead cell buildup, improve texture and leave you with a healthy glow.
Skin Tip: If your skin tends to be sensitive, mix this with your cleanser to help buffer it.
3. swap out your heavy creams
As we hit those above zero temperatures (yay!), it may be time to switch things up to a more light, breathable moisturizer. The DMK Herb & Mineral Mist is a polarised spray, which means it can immediately break through the surface tension of the skin and increase hydration and free water levels. When paired with the Seba-E Hydrating Oil, the two imitate our own acid mantle and will restore the skin’s natural barrier function. Hello, perfect hydration.
Skin Tip: Spray the mist throughout the day to wake up tired-looking skin, and use a drop of the oil on your lips for a super smooth pout.
4. protect your skin from damage
This step is crucial year-round, but even more so as the UV index and environmental aggressors intensify. A daily sunscreen is non-negotiable, and frankly, if you aren’t using one, you may as well throw the rest of your skincare in the trash as you’re negating your results. While sunscreen protects from UV damage, it only protects up to 55% of free radical damage, where antioxidants come in. Using a properly formulated VitaminC serum like the CE Ferulic will increase your environmental protection by 8 times!
5. don’t forget about treatments
While at-home care is a priority, treatments will be able to help you achieve and maintain results much faster. Don’t know what to book for? Great for every skin condition, the DMK Classic Enzyme treatment activates your skin cells to deliver fresh nutrients and oxygen to your skin, giving it that ‘spring clean’ it needs. It also helps remove toxins, stagnant blood, dead cell material and build-up in your lymphatic system. Restore balance to how your skin functions and book in here.
