Taking care of your skin in spring is crucial. The dry and windy weather can easily cause dehydration, dryness, and wrinkles on your face. Additionally, your skin may become more sensitive, leading to itching, redness, and swelling. Therefore, daily skincare becomes even more important. One question that often arises is whether we should use a moisturizer in spring. Let's explore whether spring requires the use of a moisturizer.
Do we need to use a moisturizer in spring?
Yes, we do need to use a moisturizer in spring. The skin tends to become dry during this season, and the main purpose of a moisturizer is to lock in moisture and provide beauty benefits such as whitening and anti-aging effects. The specific benefits will depend on the type of moisturizer you purchase, but they all excel at hydrating the skin, making them suitable for use in spring.
Do we also need to use an emulsion in spring?
Prior to applying a moisturizer, it is recommended to apply an emulsion. Emulsions have a finer texture and are better at moisturizing the skin, helping to maintain its hydration and smoothness. Applying an emulsion before using a moisturizer enhances the moisturizing and hydrating effects.
Choosing between moisturizer and emulsion based on skin type
If you have oily skin, it is best to choose a moisturizer or emulsion with a light and refreshing formula. This will not only provide hydration but also avoid clogging the pores with excessive oil. For oily skin types, using an emulsion alone may be sufficient. If you have dry skin, especially if it still feels dry even after applying an emulsion, it is recommended to use a moisturizer as well.
How to apply moisturizer and emulsion
Start by applying the emulsion before the moisturizer. When applying, start with the eye area, then move to the cheeks, corners of the mouth, and finally the chin and jawline, applying from top to bottom. Use your fingertips to massage and help with absorption.
