How to prepare your skin for spring

After months of heating, cold wind and little natural light, skin finishes winter dehydrated, dull and with a more sensitive barrier than usual. Spring is the ideal moment to revive it before the heavy heat of summer arrives.

1. Renew the barrier with gentle exfoliation

There's no need to be aggressive: a weekly enzymatic exfoliation or a serum with 5–10% mandelic acid is enough to lift away dead cells without irritation.

2. Deep hydration

Transepidermal water loss increases with temperature changes. We look for humectant ingredients (low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, glycerine, urea) and light occlusives (squalane, ceramides).

3. Sunscreen — yes, in spring too

The UV index in Barcelona already exceeds 6–7 in April. SPF 50 PA++++ every day, even when it's cloudy.

4. A professional kick-start treatment

A session of HydraFacial or facial mesotherapy speeds up recovery and leaves the skin ready for the most demanding months.

5. Small lifestyle changes

More water, more seasonal fruit and vegetables, 7–8 hours of sleep. Skin reflects everything else.
