Spring Skin Refresh: Tips for a Healthy, Glowing Complexion

Spring is here! As the days get longer and the air gets warmer, your skin may need a little extra attention. Seasonal changes can affect your skin’s hydration, oil balance, and sensitivity. That’s why spring is the perfect time to refresh your skin care routine.

At Gayner Facial Plastic Surgery, Amy Bentley, Licensed Medical Esthetician, shares her top tips to help your skin look radiant all season long.

1. Cleanse Gently but Thoroughly

Winter can leave your skin dry and dull. Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and leftover products without stripping moisture. Aim to cleanse twice daily, morning and night, to keep your skin fresh and balanced.

2. Exfoliate for a Bright Glow

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and helps your skin absorb serums and moisturizers better. Amy recommends 1–2 gentle exfoliations per week. Avoid harsh scrubs — chemical exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs are great for spring renewal.

3. Hydrate and Nourish

Even as temperatures rise, your skin still needs moisture. Switch to a lighter, hydrating moisturizer with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides. This keeps your skin soft, plump, and ready for sunscreen.

4. Don’t Skip Sunscreen

Spring sun can be sneaky. Protect your skin with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day. Reapply if you’re outside for extended periods. Sunscreen prevents premature aging, dark spots, and skin damage.

5. Refresh Your Treatments

Spring is a great time to update your professional skin care treatments. Amy Bentley recommends:

• Facials: Boost hydration and refresh your skin

• Chemical peels: Smooth texture and brighten your complexion

• Microneedling or light therapies: Stimulate collagen and rejuvenate

These treatments complement your home care routine and give your skin a seasonal reset.

6. Keep Healthy Habits

Good skin isn’t just about products. Drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, and get enough sleep. Healthy habits help your skin glow naturally from the inside out.
