Transition your Skincare for Spring the K-Beauty Way
As the seasons change, so does our skin, and so should our skincare.
With spring in full swing, it's time to swap those richer, heavier creams for warmer-weather products. Here's the lowdown on how to still maximise hydration whilst giving your skin a little extra room to breathe.
Our hand-picked team faves:
Gentle Exfoliants
With the harsh air of winter, it can leave skin flaky and dry. So, incorporating a super gentle exfoliant 1-2 times per week can help slough off dead skin on the surface to reveal a fresher plumper complexion ready for the new season.

Hydrate in Lighter Layers
In the colder months, thicker creams are necessary to protect the skin’s barrier from the dry winter air. However, as the weather warms and our skin naturally produces more oils, lighter yet still hydration-rich creams allow our skin to breathe whilst retaining essential moisture.
