My Spring-Summer Skincare Routine
Spring and summer skincare rituals hit different. First, everything starts with hydration, the best cure for healthy skin and less-wrinkles is water. (Extra credit if you’re a lemon lover)
I normally change up the products since the seasons need for less or more creams depending on where you live. For the spring and summer months I need lightweight creams and serums, but the cleansing regimen stays constant.
THE CLEANSING OIL //
THEN I MET YOU * LIVING CLEANSING BALM * $39 3.17oz
Worth the price tag, as far as face oils go, this one removes my sunscreen, eyeliner and blush immaculately.
THE CLEANSER // BOTNIA * GENTLE CLEANSER * $52
Plant-based cleanser with chamomile, no harsh chemicals like other cleansers. Its gel consistency smoothens my face ready for serums. Bonus is that smells like a budding garden, the floral scents is a mood enhancer. Read the full review.
TONER // COSRX * PROPOLYS SYNERGY TONER * $16.50 (SALE PRICE)
I love the honey extract that reduces my redness and puffiness from all the springtime sneezing.
SERUM 1 // RHODE * PEPTIDE GLAZING FLUID * $32
I start my serum ritual with 1 pump of this gorgeous texture of niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, marina oil and peptides.
KLAIRS * VITAMIN C SERUM * $23
Been an avid user for years now and it’s softened the fine lines and dark spots.
THE MOISTURIZER // RHODE * BARRIER RESTORE CREAM * $32
This is lightweight coverage for the sunny months. My first season trying it, will have to see how it holds up during the summer. So far transitioning from cold winter to early spring, I like the layer of moisture it adds to my face throughout the day.
FACE MASSAGE // HERBIVORE BOTANICALS * JADE DE-PUFFING FACE ROLLER * $32
In Asian cultures, jade itself is meant to bring good luck and harmony, so if you can make that part of your daily ritual you’re already winning. Jade rolling alleviates puffiness, improves the elasticity of your skin, blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
SUNSCREEN // AHC * NATURAL PERFECTION DOUBLE SHIELD SUN STICK SPF 50 * $13.77
Almost a year into using this South Korean brand, that comes highly recommended by Kpop and Kdrama celebs, I love it. Effortless, great coverage, non-sticky, unscented.
