Spring is finally here. More light and nature waking up bring new energy, but also challenges for the skin. After winter the skin can feel dull and dry, and street dust and pollen in the outdoor air can cause irritation. So it is time to update the routine for spring.
Cleansing is everything in spring
After the darkness of winter and months of indoor air, the skin needs gentle but effective cleansing. In spring the outdoor air carries street dust and pollen that settle on the skin. Windy days dry it further. It is worth choosing cleansing products that remove impurities gently but effectively, without breaking the skin's own protective layer.
Care for, brighten and support the skin's microbiome
In spring it is worth favouring products that are gentle on the skin while bringing it fresh radiance. After winter the skin can look lifeless, so antioxidant-rich products are a good choice. They help brighten the skin and protect it from environmental stress.
The skin's microbiome is the layer of micro-organisms living on its surface. In spring it is worth favouring products that help support the skin's microbiome and help protect the skin barrier.
Sun protection – spring's best friend
Although the spring sun feels warm, its UV radiation is surprisingly strong. A long winter may have left the skin more sensitive to the sun, so sun protection is not worth forgetting even on cloudy days. Remember to protect your skin daily.
Luonkos favourites for spring skincare
These suit spring particularly well:
- Forest microbe products: These products contain microbes originating in the Finnish forest. They help support the skin's microbiome and help protect the skin barrier.
- The Glow range: If the skin needs brightening and radiance, the Glow products suit it well. They are rich in antioxidants that brighten the skin and help protect it from external stress.
- The Hydrate range: Sensitive and dry skin enjoys the gentle, moisturising Hydrate products. They help restore the skin's moisture balance.
Pollen season is starting – protect your skin now
Spring pollen is one of the biggest challenges for sensitive skin. Pollen settles on the skin and can cause redness and itching. Oil cleansing works well during pollen season: the oil binds pollen, street dust and impurities and removes them gently, without the skin's own protective layer suffering.
Luonkos oil cleansing cakes were designed for exactly this: effective cleansing without a drying effect. A good choice for sensitive and reactive skin during pollen season.
