Spring into Glow:

How to Prep Your Skin for Warmer Weather

Written By Adele | Edited By Chrissy – Creative Little Soul

As the Riverland sun starts to stretch its arms and the blooms return to our gardens, it’s a gentle nudge to shake off Winter’s dullness, and that includes your skin. At Beauty Spot, we always say: Spring is the season of renewal, and your skincare should reflect just that.

After months of cosy layers, heaters, wind and dry air, your skin may be feeling a little tired, rough, or just not quite you. Now’s the perfect time to refresh your routine and prep your complexion for those longer, sun-kissed days ahead. (Yay!)

Here’s how to “Spring into glow” with our go-to seasonal skin advice, trusted by locals, backed by experience, and delivered with love from our clinic.

    1. Start with a Gentle Exfoliation Reset

    Winter can leave skin feeling a bit sluggish. You may notice dryness, flaking, or a general dullness. That’s your cue: it’s time to exfoliate gently, consistently, and with the right products.

    Exfoliation clears away dead skin cells, helping your serums and moisturisers work more effectively. For many clients, we recommend:

    • AHA or enzyme-based exfoliants (gentler on sensitive skin)
    • Professional peels for deeper resurfacing and clarity
    • Or a refreshing microdermabrasion session to kickstart skin renewal

    Spring tip from the treatment room: Always follow exfoliation with hydration- think of it like watering the garden after you’ve cleared the weeds.

     

    1. Hydration Still Matters (Even When It’s Warmer)

    Many clients assume that as the weather heats up, they can skip rich moisturisers, but spring air still has its tricks. Wind, sun exposure, and allergies can all lead to dehydration and sensitivity.

    This season, focus on:

    • A lightweight, hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid
    • Swapping out your heavy Winter creams for a balancing moisturiser
    • Keeping your skin barrier healthy with a nourishing night treatment

  1. Don’t Drop the Ball on SPF

Springtime sun in the Riverland can be deceptively strong, especially when you’re out enjoying river walks, market days, or gardening in the backyard.

SPF isn’t just for Summer. UV exposure is the number one cause of premature ageing, and it builds quietly, even on cloudy days.

Look for:

  • A broad-spectrum SPF 30 or 50
  • Lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas for everyday wear
  • Tinted mineral SPFs for that natural, no-fuss spring glow

And if you’re undergoing treatments like peels, microdermabrasion, or light therapy, sun protection is absolutely essential to maintain your results.

  1. Treat Yourself (Your Skin Will Thank You)

There’s no better time to indulge in a skin treatment. Spring is when we see many of our clients return for:

  • LED light therapy – gentle, healing, and perfect for calming post-Winter skin
  • Bio-Hydroderm– the ultimate microdermabrasion and skin correcting
  • Seasonal skin plans – curated to your unique skin and goals

As experienced therapists, we tailor every treatment to how your skin feels, not just how it looks. We know when to nourish, when to refine, and when just to let the skin breathe.
