Now that spring is on the horizon, the urge for change is all the more pressing!

This urge generally manifests as the famous «spring clean,» that unchanging ritual that allows us to settle comfortably into the beautiful season.

Just as we purify our homes by throwing open the shutters, performing a more thorough clean, and sorting our wardrobes, purifying your skin and body after the last winter chills is an excellent idea.

Let's consider spring a time for renewal and beautification!

And indeed, with the right care, your skin can be full of vitality and more radiant than ever!

Oceau Marine We recommend carrying out a thorough cleaning to eliminate accumulated impurities, stimulate cell renewal, and prepare the skin for the first sun exposures.

However, it is advisable to be gentle as the skin can be more fragile during these transitional periods, and it primarily needs gentleness to gradually adapt to the changes.
temperature.

Here is our expert advice for gently awakening the skin:

No harsh cleaning

To prevent redness and spots from proliferating like the first buds of the season, it is better to treat the skin with the utmost gentleness and not to aggress it with harsh cleansers that would damage the fragile balance of the skin barrier.

Likewise, using a mile-long list of cosmetic products won't help you clear up your skin; quite the opposite!

The more different formulas you use, the more likely you are to develop an allergy and, at best, some redness or a return of your chronic inflammation…

Knowing your skin type well to adapt your skincare routine

Does your skin have imperfections? What problem do you cyclically experience at this time of year? Ask yourself the right questions to select skincare that meets your needs.

It is important to know your skin type well to avoid mistakes in your skincare routine, keeping in mind that it can also be subject to certain temporary conditions depending on the immediate environment, temperatures, and humidity levels (increased sensitivity, need for additional hydration, etc.).

• One Normal skin It is called balanced, neither dry nor oily, it shows pores little, the complexion is uniform and has few or no imperfections.
• One dry skin it tends to be more pronounced, it is more sensitive, it can be prone to redness and tightness as it particularly lacks hydration.
• One oily skin suffer primarily from an imbalance and excess sebum, the pores are dilated, and there are often blemishes (blackheads and pimples).
• One combination skin It has oily areas (the famous T-zone of the face: forehead, nose, chin) and drier or normal areas (generally the cheeks), so it requires targeted care to rebalance each of these areas.
• One Sensitive or atopic skin is sensitive skin, it tolerates external aggressors and stress less well, it can suffer from dryness, itching, and red patches.

Enhanced vigilance for problem skin!

In spring, your skin should be observed carefully, particularly if it is atopic, acne-prone, or if you suffer from a chronic inflammatory disease (acne, psoriasis, rosacea, eczema…) which can indeed flare up with the return of fair weather.

This is due to several factors which you can sometimes influence to better prepare, treat and deeply moisturise the skin:

• The temperature variations between the two seasons that cause dryness and increased skin sensitivity.
• The multiplication of allergens with pollens released by plants in spring which can trigger certain skin reactions.
• Exposure to the first sunlight, especially if the skin is not prepared for it and is not well protected, as even these first rays can cause serious sunburns!
• Fatigue (due to the time change, new lifestyle habits), heightened emotions, and stress, which weaken the immune system, making our bodies more vulnerable to inflammation.

Oily, dry, and combination skin can also struggle to adapt to these new environmental factors, so it is important to strengthen them to help them combat excess sebum or dehydration by using suitable treatments that help them to rebalance better.
