While some love to curl up in bed as the winter chill rattles against their window, most prefer the warmth and vibrant colours of spring. It's one of the most eagerly anticipated times of the year as people look forward to the blossoming of vibrant colours, the excitement of spring break, Coachella and Easter, and perhaps most importantly, a break from the cold and gloomy winter!

With spring comes new skin issues due to the shift in weather conditions. Higher temperatures and increased humidity can impact your skin, leading to a variety of issues such as dryness, rashes, acne, eczema, and allergies. The transition from cold, dry winter air to warmer, more humid conditions can cause your skin to produce more oil, potentially leading to breakouts and redness. Additionally, springtime allergens like pollen can trigger allergic reactions, further aggravating sensitive skin. 

Making small tweaks to your skincare routine this spring can keep your skin looking and feeling healthy. Here's what we recommend:

1. Use Gentle Products:

Switch to gentle skincare products that cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural oils. Look no further than Dr. Natural, where all products are made with natural ingredients and avoid harsh chemicals that can irritate your skin so that its gentle touch can leave your skin feeling soft and supple.

2. Moisturize Regularly: 

Hydration, Hydration, HYDRATION- it's the key to avoiding a majority of skin issues in spring as it combats the effects of the warmer weather. Use lightweight mositurizing products like the Dr. Natural Hemp Body Wash that keeps your skin hydrated without clogging pores. Or use the wide range of Castile Soaps, that provide soft and effortless hydration through natural essential oils.

3. Use Natural Deodorants: 

With the warmer weather, you may find yourself sweating more. Most deodorants contain artificial fragrances that harm the skin or harsh chemicals like aluminum and parabens, which can irritate sensitive underarm skin. Use Natural deodorants with authentic fragrances like lime, lavender, or natural powder which can keep you sweat-free, scented, and safe.

4. Use Lotion on Sensitive Skin:

If you have sensitive skin, consider using a lotion specifically formulated for sensitive skin. Dr. Natural’s Castile Body Lotion is designed to provide gentle and soothing relief for sensitive skin as the natural ingredients in the Castile formula help to prevent irritation and flare-ups.

5. Consistency is key: 

To truly protect your skin you need to be consistent with your skincare. Stick to your routine of cleansing, moisturizing, and applying lotion daily to maintain healthy skin. You have to actively combat issues like acne or oily skin that can develop in the spring by using Activated Charcoal Soap or Dr. Natural’s incredible Black Soap. Both are the ideal options as they provide a deep cleanse to skin pores and help lock in moisture with a natural formula of essential oils.
