How to achieve glowing skin this spring. Spring is the time when many people swap their heavy winter moisturisers and cleansers for lighter products. Kim van Haaster, founder and CEO of Bloomeffects, has shared her insightful skincare tips for achieving glowing and healthy skin as we transition into spring. Cleansing routine: Cleansing with water in the morning will help you avoid drying out your skin. ”Over-cleansing can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness.” The expert also recommends double cleansing in the evening. Simplicity is key: Try to avoid introducing too many new products to your skin at once, as this can lead to breakouts. ”Introducing products gradually allows you to assess their efficacy and prevents compromising the skin barrier with an excess of active ingredients.” Fragrance-free skincare: When choosing new skincare products, opt for fragrance-free options as they are gentler on the skin. "If you enjoy pleasant smells during your skincare application use alternative methods like reed diffusers or true eau de parfum.” Apply humectants to damp skin: Humectants can help keep your skin feeling hydrated, especially when applied to damp skin. ”Humectants, which include ingredients such as glycerine, AHAs, and hyaluronic acid, attract moisture and create a barrier on the surface of dry skin to lock in moisture. Layering products: When layering your skincare products, it is important to apply them from the thinnest to the thickest. "Water-based serums should be applied first, allowing them to penetrate the skin effectively. Oils and occlusive ingredients should then be applied last to seal in moisture and create a protective barrier.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
