Winter is now behind us and spring has sprung! With the change of season, our skin also needs a change of pace to adapt to the new temperatures and milder weather. In this article, you will find our tips for your spring skincare and prepare your skin to best face this change of season with a whole new glow.
Skin problems in spring
In spring, the skin becomes more sensitive because the climatic changes typical of this season expose the skin to very variable temperatures in a short time.
But that's not all: pollen and sun can also cause smallskin blemishes to appear and lead to increased sebum production.
To counteract this increased sensitivity, it is important to adopt a spring skincare that protects, hydrates, regenerates and best prepares the skin for the arrival of summer.
Spring and mood
With the arrival of spring, it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by the increase in serotonin and melatonin , signals of awakening that can, however, cause a worsening of mood for some people, especially those with anxious or depressive tendencies.
For most people, this seasonal change can bring tiredness, sleep disturbances and emotional tension.
To counteract these effects, you can adopt some self-care practices such as the use of lemon essential oil . In fact, with its fresh and lively aroma, this essential oil not only energizes the mind and body, but also reduces stress and promotes mental well-being .
Furthermore, it is naturally rich in vitamins essential for skin health, such as vitamin C, B and A ; therefore, a real panacea for our spring beauty routine .
Sorrento Lemon essential oil is one of the key ingredients of our neurocosmetics for the following characteristics:
▪️ astringent properties : make it effective in dealing with acne and skin blemishes;
▪️ antioxidant properties : helps counteract the damage caused by excessive sun exposure;
▪️ exfoliating properties : removing dead cells and stimulating collagen production, for brighter, more elastic and youthful skin.
▪️ calming properties: to face the spring season with radiant skin and a regenerated mood.
Key ingredients in spring cosmetics
As we transition into spring, our skincare becomes crucial to addressing seasonal changes and maintaining radiant, healthy skin.
Here are the key ingredients that cannot be missing from spring cosmetics :
Vitamin C
Vitamin C has a powerful stimulating effect on collagen production, promoting cell renewal and giving the skin a renewed luminosity , greater elasticity and a more relaxed appearance.
Niacinamide
In our products this ingredient is present with a concentration of 5% because it is able not only to deeply moisturize the skin, but also has soothing properties . Therefore, it is particularly suitable for delicate skin that tends to get irritated easily especially in spring.
Hyaluronic acid and peptides
Hyaluronic acid is widely known for its ability to retain moisture , it offers a complete and effective solution when combined with peptides. In fact, peptides are chains of amino acids essential for the formation of proteins such as collagen, elastin and keratin and working in synergy with hyaluronic acid they help maintain hydrated, elastic and visibly younger skin .
This combination, free of contraindications, represents a step forward in the search for effective and targeted skincare , guaranteeing visible and long-lasting results for bright and healthy skin all year round and especially during the spring season .
Step 1 Spring Skincare: Cleansing
Pollen, sun and temperature changes make the skin more sensitive, but also produce more sebum. This is why the first fundamental step of a spring skincare must be a delicate but effective cleansing to deeply clean the skin and stimulate its regeneration.
CLEANSING LUX GEL is a gel cleanser rich in antioxidant and hydrating ingredients for a deep and delicate cleansing that can soothe, illuminate and delicately hydrate the skin. In addition, it also contains probiotics that support the skin microbiome , improve skin hydration, regulate pH, protect against acne , dermatitis and eczema and reduce redness and irritation typical of this time of year.
Step 2: Exfoliation
Exfoliation is a very important step in spring skincare to remove dead cells and winter dullness.
The type of exfoliation we suggest is the enzymatic peeling because it is a treatment based on natural enzymes , which have the function of exfoliating the skin in a delicate and non-aggressive way. In fact, for this reason it is particularly suitable for the most sensitive skin in spring.
The enzymes used for this process are mainly those of certain types of fruit; in the case of Luce di Sorrento neurocosmetics, these are enzymes extracted from the peel of the lemon .
Our innovative active LemonLight® , in fact, is an ingredient with important hydrating and exfoliating properties, created in collaboration with a spin-off of the University of Bologna and is present in 3 of our cosmetics:
▪️ the delicate cleanser CLEANSING LUX GEL;
▪️ the SUPREME LUX EYE CREAM eye contour which acts against bags and dark circles;
▪️ SUBLIME LUX ESSENCE LOTION which combines the action of the enzymatic extract with 5 hyaluronic acids of different molecular weights and Vitamin C makes the skin instantly refreshed, hydrated and plump.
Thanks to the fact that the LemonLight® active ingredient is contained within the cosmetics of the skincare routine, it is possible to combine the action of each product with the power of exfoliation to renew the skin and make it bright and healthy.
Step 3 Spring Skincare: Hydration and Protection
In spring the key word is hydration . During the winter, low humidity, cold and temperature changes decrease the skin's level of hydration and when spring arrives, the skin can be drier , more delicate and prone to cracking.
This is why it remains important to maintain in your spring skincare a face serum and a cream with a strong hydrating action combined with the action of a face oil that can also protect the skin barrier.
Face serum
PERFECTION LUX SERUM face serum has a light and silky texture and is quickly absorbed. Its ingredients include:
▪️ our natural active LemonLux®
▪️ Vitamin C that improves skin brightness
▪️ Hyaluronic Acid for a strong hydrating action
▪️ Sea water to promote skin regeneration.
Furthermore, the sweet lemon scent , with a strong revitalizing and relaxing action, acts on the skin and mind throughout the day.
