Why you should update your spring skincare routine

With the arrival of spring, skin also changes: temperatures rise, humidity increases, sebum production goes up, and new sensitivities appear, often linked to seasonal allergies or increased sun exposure.

Your spring skincare routine should be adapted to rebalance the skin, combat impurities, maintain hydration, and prepare the face for the light and warmth of the coming months.

The 5 steps of a spring skincare routine

1. Gentle cleansing

Cleansing is the first essential step. In spring, choose a gentle facial cleanser that can thoroughly cleanse without altering the skin barrier. Avoid overly foamy or aggressive products, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Recommended by alkemy: Karité Shower Oil – gently cleanses and nourishes, also ideal for highly reactive skin.

2. Enzymatic or gentle exfoliation

With increased sebum production, exfoliation becomes crucial. It removes dead cells, brightens the complexion, and stimulates cell turnover.

Choose an enzymatic facial peel or one with mandelic acid, perfect even for sensitive skin. Avoid aggressive scrubs: in spring, skin is thinner and more vulnerable.

Recommended by alkemy: Cleansing Peeling – purifies without harshness, thanks to apricot micro-granules.

3. Rebalancing toner and soothing treatments

After cleansing and exfoliation, rebalance your skin's pH with a soothing facial toner. This step prepares the skin to receive serums and subsequent hydration.

Recommended by alkemy: Tonic Lotion – soothes and tones, also ideal for sensitive skin.

4. Face serum and eye contour: the heart of the treatment

Spring is the perfect time to introduce antioxidant serums with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, to provide radiance, protect against free radicals, and keep skin hydrated.

Don't forget the eye contour: it's one of the first areas to show dehydration, allergies, or fatigue.

Recommended by alkemy:

• Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Serum – glow, hydrating, and protective action

• Lift Eye Serum – specific for the periorbital area, nourishes and brightens

5. Hydration and protection

Every skin type needs the right spring moisturizer: light but effective, with lifting active ingredients and a comfortable texture.

Facial sunscreen is essential, even on cloudy days: UV rays accelerate skin aging and promote spots and redness.

Recommended by alkemy: Hydra Face Cream – light texture with hyaluronic acid and natural polymers for a visible lifting effect.

Extra tips for your spring skincare

• Drink at least 1.5L of water daily to support skin hydration.

• Avoid excessive use of occlusive makeup on warm days.

• Always apply products in a specific order: cleansing → toner → serum → cream → SPF.

Adapting your spring skincare routine means listening to your skin, responding to its changes with awareness, and choosing clean, functional, natural formulas.
With a few steps and the right products, you can achieve fresh, radiant skin ready to face the season.
