Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Ufuk Askeroğlu explains what to pay attention to as the weather starts to warm up.
Seasonal changes are among the factors that directly affect skin health. The skin, which is used to cold weather and low humidity levels in the winter months, may have difficulty adapting to the increasing temperature and sunlight with spring. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to some points in order to protect your skin and achieve a healthy appearance in spring.
Sunscreen should not be neglected!
Decreased sunlight in the winter months can cause the skin to become more sensitive to the sun. Since the intensity of UV rays increases with spring, sunscreen use is of great importance. A sunscreen with at least SPF 30 should be preferred to protect the skin from signs of premature aging and blemishes. Sunscreen should be applied regularly not only on sunny days but also in cloudy weather.
Care should be taken to cleanse the skin
Increased humidity and temperature in the spring months can cause the skin to produce more oil. Therefore, a mild formula cleanser should be used to gently cleanse the skin and prevent pores from clogging. Overly harsh cleansers can damage the skin’s protective barrier and cause sensitivity.
It is important to maintain moisture balance
Skin that dries in winter may need more moisture with spring. Light and water-based moisturizers should be preferred to provide the moisture the skin needs during seasonal changes. In addition, products with moisture-retaining ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin can help the skin look healthier and fuller.
Attention should be paid to nutrition
Skin health should be supported not only with externally applied products, but also from the inside. Consuming antioxidant-rich foods in the spring months can help protect the skin against free radicals and give it a brighter appearance. Foods containing vitamin C, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids support skin renewal.
Turn to skin renewal treatments
Spring months are an ideal time to perform renewal treatments to cleanse the skin from the effects of winter. Peeling applications remove dead skin, allow the skin to breathe and give it a brighter appearance. However, it is important to protect the skin from the sun after peeling. Moisture masks and antioxidant serums can also help the skin adapt to spring in a healthier way.
Skin renewal with mesotherapy
You can also add mesotherapy to your skin care routine in the spring months. Mesotherapy provides skin renewal by injecting nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid into the deep layers of the skin. This process increases the vitality of the skin and reduces the appearance of blemishes and fine wrinkles. Mesotherapy is an excellent option to balance the moisture in the skin and achieve a more youthful appearance.
Increase water consumption
The body’s need for water increases with the warming of the weather. Daily water consumption should be increased in order for the skin to maintain its moisture balance. Drinking enough water makes the skin look brighter and healthier.
Paying extra attention to skin care in the spring months is the key to having healthy and vibrant skin throughout the year. By creating care routines suitable for your skin type, you can minimize the negative effects of seasonal transitions and reflect the energy of spring on your skin.
