From winter skin to spring glow
How to help your skin through the upcoming season
Even though it's still cold and harsh outside, the upcoming spring season is just around the corner. Not only does nature change, but your skin also goes through a transition.
That's why we're happy to give you the right tips and advice to get your skin ready for spring.
Recovery after winter
At Glow Institute, we often see it in the salon: skin that feels tight, looks dull, becomes impure more quickly, or reacts more sensitively. This is the result of months of cold, dry air, heating, and less sunlight.
Spring is therefore the perfect time to reset and restore your skin. Your skin also requires different skincare than in winter.
While in winter we exfoliate a lot and use richer creams, spring is more about lighter, hydrating products, mild exfoliants, and preparing the skin for more sunlight.
Spring skincare routine
The foundation starts with a proper at-home skincare routine. The Cleansing Complex from IS Clinical is a great example of a nice cleanser that already contains mild exfoliating ingredients like glycolic acid. This cleanser is suitable for almost all skin types, deeply cleanses the pores, and stimulates cell renewal.
During spring, UV radiation from the sun plays a major role, and the skin is more susceptible to free radicals; these are small, aggressive particles that can damage tissues and cells. UV radiation is the biggest cause here, but also consider air pollution or the blue light from screens or your phone.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from within against these free radicals. The Pro Heal serum from IS Clinical is a serum that contains the purest form of vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), among other things, which makes the skin glow.
And if you want optimal protection, a suitable Sun Protection Factor is indispensable. Colorescience (available in our clinics) offers high-quality sun protection that protects the skin against UVA and UVB radiation, blue light, pollution, and infrared radiation.
This sun protection contains a light, mineral formula available in different shades or transparent.
And finally, proper hydration for both day and night remains essential. When temperatures rise in spring, the skin has different needs. A serum with a high percentage of hyaluronic acid nourishes the skin at multiple depths, but if you naturally have drier skin, a lighter cream can offer a solution.
At Glow Institute, we are happy to help you find the best skincare routine specifically for your skin type.
Professional treatments that make your skin spring-proof
In addition to the right skincare routine, professional treatments naturally contribute significantly to improved skin quality and barrier.
For example, the Signature Glow is one of our facial treatments that combines various techniques such as connective tissue massage, a mild peel, and restoring the skin's moisture balance with our LET (collagen lamp).
In addition, the PRX Platina and BioRePeel Platina are effective peels that work in the deeper skin layers for even more glow and collagen stimulation. These peels are very accessible year-round with little to no recovery time, making them also very suitable during sunnier days.
Treatments are customized to your skin type, and during each treatment, we consider your specific wishes and skin needs.
