Understanding How Your Skin Changes in Spring

As the weather warms, your skin naturally adapts—but not always quickly enough. This transition can lead to issues such as dryness, breakouts, or irritation. In springtime, your skin will:

Release more water → Risking dehydration if not properly replenished.

Produce more sebum → Which can cause oily skin or breakouts.

Rely on antioxidants → To combat free radical damage from stronger UV rays.

Increase melanin production → A natural defense against enhanced sun exposure.

At Canadian Beauty Boutique, we know these changes can be challenging. That’s why our medical grade products are formulated to support your skin’s natural rhythm, ensuring a balanced, radiant complexion as the seasons change.

 

 

Transform your routine with Nurse Melissa’s expert tips, crafted around our cleanse, treat, and moisturize philosophy:

 1. Exfoliate Gently

Winter can leave behind dry, flaky skin that dulls your complexion. Spring is the perfect time to gently slough off dead skin cells and reveal fresh, radiant skin.

Melissa recommends using a combination of chemical exfoliants: oil-soluble beta hydroxy acids to clear pores and water-soluble alpha hydroxy acids to resurface skin. When used in moderation, these ingredients help prevent breakouts without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

If you're new to exfoliating, start with 1–2 times per week increase gradually as tolerated.

Recommended Products: AlumierMD Bright & Clear Solution, AlumierMD MicroDerm Polish and Retinol Resurfacing Serum—each one is a medical grade formula available at Canadian Beauty Boutique.

2. Switch to a Lightweight Moisturizer

As humidity increases, heavy winter creams may feel too rich — leading to clogged pores or excess oil. However, skipping moisturizer completely is a mistake. All skin types need hydration to support the skin barrier and prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Nurse Melissa advises choosing lightweight moisturizers that hydrate without heaviness. Look for hyaluronic acid, glycerin and aloe — ingredients that help skin retain moisture without clogging pores.

Recommended Products: AlumierMD HydraLight, AlumierMD HydraDew, and AlumierMD HydraClarite for acne-prone skin, along with Hydrinity Renewing HA Serum.

 

3. Boost Your Antioxidants

Spring brings longer days and stronger UV exposure, increasing the risk of free radical damage. Antioxidants like vitamin C help protect skin from pollution, UV rays and premature aging while brightening your complexion.

Nurse Melissa suggests incorporating an antioxidant-rich serum into your morning routine for extra protection against environmental stressors.

Recommended Products: AlumierMD EverActive C & E + Peptides, Hydrinity Hydri-C Daily Vitamin C Moisturizer, and AlumierMD Vitamin Rich Smoother.

 

4. Stay Sun Smart

With more time spent outdoors, daily sunscreen is non-negotiable. Even on cloudy days, UV exposure contributes to premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and skin cancer risk.

Nurse Melissa recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) and reapplying every 2 hours when outside. For added protection, wear hats and sunglasses and seek shade during peak sun hours.

Recommended Products: AlumierMD ClearShield, AlumierMD Sheer Hydration Versatile Tint, and Noon Aesthetics Brush & Go.

FAQs About Transitioning Your Skincare for Spring

Q: Why should I adjust my skincare routine in spring?

A: As temperatures rise and humidity increases, your skin's needs change. Adjusting your routine helps manage oil production and protects against increased sun exposure.

 

Q: How often should I exfoliate in spring?

A: Frequency depends on your skin type. Oily or acne-prone skin may benefit from 2-3 times per week, while dry or sensitive skin should limit exfoliation to once weekly.
