My interview for Globus Magazine is out featuring my must-have skincare tips to spring prep your skin.

Spring is a time for rejuvenation, especially for your skin. Over the winter you focus on protecting your skin from cold, dry weather but when the sun is back, your skincare routine should have a different goal. As spring turns to summer, you want to develop a skincare routine that focuses on hydration and defense against sun damage, pollution, and other environmental stressors.

Here are 5 simple ways to get your skin ready for spring:

EXFOLIATE
One of the best ways to prep your skin for the new season is to exfoliate regularly. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and gives your complexion a brighter, more radiant appearance. It also helps to unclog pores and improve circulation. As a result, your skin will be better able to absorb moisture and nutrients.

One of the best exfoliators I know: The Renewal Oil Exfoliator by LA MER.

Powerful duo: Hydro-Softening Lotion, The Serum by Clé de Peau Beauté (for more information, click here please for the detailed post).
One of my favorite masks as it is so easy to use: The Intensive Vitalizing Mask by LA MER.

HYDRATE
Apply a hydrating serum or essence to replenish moisture levels in your skin. Hydration is key to help prevent excessive dryness or irritation. At least once a week, use a mask to intensify the effect.

Follow your routine with your favorite moisturizer. In my case I am a huge fan of the The Moisturizing Cream by LA MER.

PROTECT
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. This step is essential, especially if you’ll be exposing your skin to the sun after a peeling.

PERSONAL TIP
Add a long-lasting and moisturizing primer that blends makeup and skincare so the your foundation will stay in place the whole day.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your skin is properly prepped and cared for, leading to a smoother, brighter complexion in spring.

Exfoliation is for me one of the most important steps in your skincare routine as it preps the skin for every step that is coming after. Therefore let me introduce you to the LA MER The Renewal Oil Exfoliator (previously called The Replenishing Oil Exfoliator). What begins as a gelled oil melts into a richer, more liquid oil texture, infused with marine minerals. If desired, add a few drops of water to create a creamier treatment. Sugar crystals and sea salt gently exfoliate away the appearance of dullness and fine dry lines. Sea kelp fibres help draw out impurities from skin’s surface and pores. Oils used in the iconic Miracle Broth™ nourish, replenish and soften.

AS IS
Straight from the source, a dry application intensifies the exfoliation.

ADD A SPLASH
Apply to skin for a silkier touch of refinement.

FOLLOW UP
It’s just the start – the Renewal Oil soaks in perfectly post-polish.

It is an amazing product but you have to be very careful with white towels as the yellow color of the product easily stains. So make sure that you wash it off very well.
Available for CHF 170.00 .
