Each new season brings an opportunity to start fresh and further enhance our lives. With Spring here, now is the perfect time to pick up some new skincare habits to help you correct your skin. Ready to give it a try? Pick up some (or all!) of the habits below for great skin this Spring.

If you’re applying your products to dry, flaky skin, you’re actually compromising the ability of your products to effectively penetrate skin. To exfoliate skin and fight signs of aging, try IMAGE’S Ageless Overnight Retinol Mask ($70), which literally gets rid of dry skin while you sleep! Simply slather the mask on clean skin before bed and wash it off in the morning. How’s that for beauty sleep?

When your skin is damp, it helps drive products 10 times deeper into the skin! So make that steamy shower work for you by applying your skincare products post-shower, when your pores are still open and receptive to whatever you apply. We’re currently loving IMAGE’s Vital C Hydrating Hand & Body Lotion ($32), which is formulated with nutrient-rich oils and extracts infused with shea butter for the ultimate full body hydration.

You’ve heard of the importance of wearing sunscreen on a daily basis many, many times by now. So if for some reason you’re still slacking, do make applying sunscreen an essential step of your daily skincare routine! It takes less than a minute to smooth some sunscreen on, so not having time is not an excuse! Far from the pore-clogging, pasty formulas of the past, today’s sunscreens come in wide variety and address a wide range of skincare concerns, offering everything from hydration, a matte finish, or a subtle tint so you can find the perfect sunscreen for your needs.

Getting regular treatments from a skincare professional makes a huge difference on the quality of your skin. This is specially true if you’re trying to treat certain concerns like brown spots and wrinkles, which usually require a lengthy period of time of using specific products to see a difference. If you’d like to see results in a shorter period of time, go see a professional for more advanced treatments like peels, photofacials, or even dysport injections. You’d be surprised how effective a single treatment can be for the health of your skin!

A lot of clients feel overwhelmed at the initial thought of creating and sticking to a skincare routine. But it doesn’t have to be rocket science! If you’re just starting out on the path of better skin, it can be as simple as cleaning and a good day and night moisturizer! As you get more comfortable with the basics, you can then start adding in things like active cleansers, retinols, and serums to treat your specific skincare concerns. If you feel like your skincare routine and/or product isn’t working for you after a few days, don’t toss it out the window just yet! Instead, try tweaking your routine by adding a product or two, and alternating it every few days to see what happens. With hydrating products, you should see a difference in your skin immediately. However, most other skincare products require at least 3-5 weeks for you to start seeing a difference. It’s important to note also that sometimes these differences may be subtle, so don’t get discourage if it’s day 10 and you’re still not seeing the type of results you’d like.
