How should I prepare my skin for spring?
Spring is the perfect time to reset your skincare routine. Begin with gentle exfoliation to sweep away winter buildup, but ease into acids like AHAs or BHAs since sun exposure is increasing. Hydration is still important — swap heavy winter creams for lightweight moisturizers that keep your skin comfortable without feeling greasy.
Make broad-spectrum SPF 30 (or higher) a non-negotiable step. Pair it with antioxidant-rich products like vitamin C to brighten skin and protect against UV damage. If you’re adding treatments for uneven texture, fine lines, or dark spots, introduce them gradually and patch test to avoid irritation.
Transitioning gradually from winter skincare products helps your skin adjust more smoothly and keeps your complexion radiant all season long.
Does skin get dry in spring?
Yes, but in different ways than winter. While humidity starts to rise, your skin moisture levels may still be low from the colder months. At the same time, oil production often picks up in spring, creating a mix of dry patches and breakouts.
A balanced spring skincare routine with hydrating serums and lightweight creams helps your skin adapt to these seasonal shifts.
Why do breakouts get worse in spring?
Warmer weather, more sweat, and increased oil production can clog pores, leading to seasonal breakouts. Allergies can also trigger redness or irritation that may look like blemishes. Using gentle cleansers, exfoliating dead skin cells, and choosing non-comedogenic moisturizers helps keep your skin clear and refreshed.
How can I achieve glowing skin in spring?
A spring glow starts with consistent care. Follow these spring skincare tips:
- Exfoliate regularly: Regular exfoliation removes dull, dead skin and reveals a smoother texture.
- Use vitamin C: Applying vitamin C brightens skin tone and helps minimize the appearance of sun damage.
- Stay hydrated: Using hyaluronic acid–based serums helps keep your skin barrier strong and your complexion supple.
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily: Wearing sunscreen every day protects your skin from UVA and UVB rays, even on cloudy days.
- Choose lightweight formulas: Switching to non-greasy moisturizers and sunscreens helps keep your skin light and comfortable throughout the day.
Which season is best for skin care?
Every season brings its own skin concerns, but spring is a great time to reset. After months of heavy creams and cold-weather dryness, your skin may benefit from lighter products and brightening formulas.
While concerns like dark spots or uneven texture can be addressed year-round, spring often feels like the ideal moment to refresh your routine and set the tone for healthy, glowing skin.
Why is my skin so bad in the spring?
Seasonal changes can throw your skin off balance. Rising temperatures, fluctuating humidity, and sun exposure can cause breakouts, redness, or excess oil. Allergies may also leave your skin more sensitive.
Updating your skincare routine with spring skincare products designed for hydration, barrier support, and sun protection helps minimize seasonal flare-ups.
What are the five basic steps of a spring skincare routine?
The five basic steps of a spring skincare routine build on year-round essentials but are adjusted for warmer weather and rising humidity. Incorporating clean skincare products into each step helps keep your skin balanced and radiant this season:
- Cleanser: Start with a gentle cleanser to wash away dirt, sweat, and excess oil without stripping your skin. Cleanse Silky Vitamin C provides antioxidant support while cleansing, making it a great option for spring.
- Exfoliator: Regular exfoliation clears away dead skin cells and helps reveal smoother texture. The Amazing Peel Kit is an at-home system that lifts away buildup for fresher, glowing skin.
- Serum: Add a targeted serum to brighten and hydrate. Skin Perfecting Serum gently exfoliates while refining pores and evening out dull skin.
- Moisturizer: Switch to lightweight creams that keep skin soft and comfortable without feeling heavy. For extra hydration and radiance, try C-Gel Facial Masks, infused with vitamin C for a refreshing boost.
- Sunscreen: Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential for protecting against UVA and UVB rays. Pairing sunscreen with antioxidant-rich products like Advanced TX Lightening Gel Elixir helps target dark spots and uneven tone while defending against further sun damage.

Yes. Whether you have dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin, The A Method’s spring skincare collection is designed to adapt to your unique needs. These dermatologist-developed, paraben-free, and cruelty-free formulas support your skin barrier, balance oil production, and protect against UV rays—helping you maintain healthy skin throughout the season.
Should I use retinol in the spring?
Yes, retinol can be part of your spring skincare routine, but you’ll want to use it carefully.
Retinol supports skin renewal and helps smooth the look of fine lines and uneven texture. Since it can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, always apply it at night and make sure you’re wearing broad-spectrum SPF the next day.
Pairing retinol with hydrating serums or lightweight moisturizers keeps your skin balanced as temperatures rise.
How does skincare fit with makeup in spring?
Skincare lays the foundation for how your makeup looks and feels. A routine that includes ingredients like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and lightweight moisturizers keeps your complexion smooth and radiant, so makeup goes on evenly.
Before applying foundation or concealer, cleanse your skin, keep it hydrated, and protect it with SPF. You can also refresh your look with the C-Gel Facial Masks, which give your skin an instant boost of hydration and brightness—perfect before a special event or a long day out.
