🌸 May Skincare Tips: Transition Your Routine for Glowing, Summer-Ready Skin

As we say goodbye to spring and welcome warmer, sunnier days, it’s time to give your skincare routine a seasonal refresh. May is the perfect month to start prepping your skin for summer—think lighter products, sun protection, and hydration that lasts all day.

Here are our top skincare tips for May:

Lighten Up Your Moisturizer
Swap rich winter creams for lighter, hydrating moisturizers. Look for formulas with hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, or squalane to lock in moisture without feeling heavy.

SPF is Non-Negotiable
As the UV index rises, sunscreen becomes your skin’s best friend. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and reapply every 2 hours—especially if you’re spending time outdoors.

Exfoliate for a Fresh Glow
Gentle exfoliation helps slough off dead skin cells and allows your serums and moisturizers to absorb better. Aim for 1–2 times per week using a mild enzyme exfoliant or chemical exfoliator with AHAs or BHAs.

Don’t Forget Your Neck & Chest
Your neck and décolletage need just as much love—cleanse, moisturize, and apply SPF to these areas daily.

Add Antioxidants
Vitamin C is a spring and summer must-have. It helps brighten your complexion and protects against free radical damage from pollution and UV rays.

Product Spotlight
Try a lightweight gel cleanser in the morning and a creamy cleanser at night. Follow with a hydrating toner, a vitamin C serum, and a moisturizer topped with SPF for daytime. At night, focus on repairing ingredients like peptides or niacinamide.

Bonus Tip: Spring Clean Your Products
Check your expiration dates, wash your makeup brushes, and toss anything you haven’t used in over a year. A clean routine = clearer skin.
